I honestly am still in shock...but in a few short days, this small business turns FIVE YEARS OLD!
A few of my favorite moments...
- In the past five years, I have vended at - no joke - HUNDREDS of events. The highlight of those? The wonderful people I have had the chance to meet. From these events, I have made lifelong friendships!
- Being featured in a jewelry showcase at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art (talk about a dream come true!).
- Gift guide features - from The Wives of the Armed Forces to The Rosie Network to Spouse-ly, the military spouse community has really come through!
- Getting to be featured on the local news for Small Business Saturday
Cheesing with joy over being featured in BIMA, December 2025
What is next for J&E?
Well, in typically military life style...we are moving again in 2026! While we know where we are going, I am not sharing until we have official orders and the move scheduled - because the military loves to throw in some last minute changes!
I will be doing fewer events in 2026 as a result of this move, so keep your eyes peeled for event announcements in emails and on social media.
Ok, a move is coming - what about the jewelry?!
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE JEWELRY I HAVE IN DEVELOPMENT FOR 2026! I have a special anniversary collection dropping 1/1/26 (sign up for emails so you don't miss anything!).
I am leaning more into silk knotted necklaces and focusing on some of my favorite gemstones - that means more labradorite, freshwater pearl, moonstone, and lapis.
