Happy May- Happy Spring. While I am still sharing about my experiences in Shanghai and life abroad I want to highlight some of my favorite small businesses from home. They may be helpful for you one day. Enjoy.
I am so excited to share Wear It Owt! with everyone!!! I have so many of Asha’s pieces and ever time I wear them I get so many compliments on my accessories! If you’re into handmade and one of a kind pieces that stand out then Wear It Owt! is definitely the site for you to check out. I was hooked after she made a special one of a kind piece for me for my birthday. Her creativity is amazing!!! We even had a session online (because we live in two different states to discuss what I wanted and how I wanted it to look and – boom – perfection!
She is totally #blackgirlmagic defined and I appreciated her patience and creativity to bring her customers satisfaction and accessory dream a reality……and now I am in a whole different country and she said she would still ship to me!
Check it owt below!!!!
Wear It Owt! was created in 2006 by Asha Reed, a talented creative. All the jewelry sold in our store is designed and produced in my home studio in Oakland, California. I try to make colorful pieces that are fun and stylish. I craft my unique pieces from leather, polymer clay and vinyl. I hope you enjoy my work and will keep coming back.

I am excited about life! I am filled with Hope. I am overwhelmed with JOY!
I am going to do my best to live by the ‘Glad Texts’
(one of my favorites is–Psalms 98:4-Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth,
burst into jubilant song with music) — Did you know that there are over 800 Glad Texts in the Bible?!?! More than one for each day of the year for me to live by.
