I am a self-taught artisan jewelry designer and soapmaker. I sell my creations primarily through ETSY at www.missyrosestudios.com and at select local markets around West Michigan. My jewelry designs are fashion forward boho style and eclectic appealing to women between 30-60+ typically. I design with glass and gemstone beads incorporating metal components and found items. I resell restored vintage jewelry as I discover mid century pieces that need fresh homes. In the past year, I have rapidly expanded my selection of handcrafted soy candles per increasing demand at local markets including the Fulton Street Artisans Market on Sundays in Grand Rapids. I intend to expand on floral scents and complex unique blends in 2020. One of the hottest selling items for us in 2019 was the handmade hemp oil beard balm which we intend to continue producing as well as our selection of natural lip balms and our avocado cuticle balm. Customers at the Saranac Village Farmer's Market this Spring and Summer can expect a return of our unique soaps including the new wildflower honey hemp, cherry almond, lilac, black sea, orange patchouli, lemon rosemary, sandalwood, and more. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram for event notifications and new product announcements as well as coupon specials and sales. In 2020, we will continue expanding our presence in Michigan. You can find our artisan jewelry at the Jewel Box in downtown Ionia with a rotating selection of earrings, bracelets, and necklaces focusing on gemstones. A curated selection of our jewelry is also on display for sale at the Perennial Wellness Spa in Stanton. Thank you for supporting handmade and shopping local!
