Meet the Team

Welcome to Earrings Everyday!

I was looking around the blog world a few weeks ago and noticed there wasn't a blog dedicated to handcrafted artisan earrings.  I decided that was a void that needed to be filled ASAP!  I asked a few of my favorite designers to join me because it's always more fun to bring some superbly talented folks when you are planning to throw a party.  

Monday through Friday you'll find our latest earrings featured in our shops.  We'll share with you the inspiration and story behind their creation.  On Saturday and Sunday I will spotlight creative ways to store and display our earring collections.  It's our goal to help adorn those who love earrings as we share our favorites with you.

Let's get this party started!

Your Host:

I'm Heather Powers, the editor and tour guide here on the blog.

You can find my jewelry in my Etsy shop and read about my inspirations on my blog.

My first book, Jewelry Designs from Nature was released this fall.  My work has appeared in two books dedicated to earrings: 365 Earrings and Earrings, Earrings, Earrings.  My beads have been featured in magazines, books and on TV.

Other brilliant ideas that I've had include the Art Bead Scene, a popular blog decided to handmade beads and my Annual Bead Cruise.

Yep, I'm kinda like a toaster.  Just hanging out in the corner of the kitchen - quiet, unassuming and always popping up with good ideas.
