Eat, Pray, Macrame

As some of you Rasbarri fans may have noticed, we have introduced a new smaller line called "Petit Coeur,"  (which means little heart in French). This new line consists of handmade macrame bracelets which are made using Irish Linen, gold, silver, or Swaroski beads, and tiny gold or silver charms which are added as a finishing touch. Macrame is a very old form of textile making that uses knots rather than weaving or knitting. It was most popular in the Victorian Era, then lost popularity and regained it again in the 1970's with the hippie crowd. We like to describe these bracelets as "hippie-chic," and made them with the California girl in mind.

Love, Rasbarri

I pour my heart and soul into Rasbarri.  I never considered myself an "artist" because I just think that sounds silly...but I am.  I'd also be lying to say an unhappy customer or a returned piece due to defect doesn't tug at my heart-strings.

This holiday season is full of change.  It's the first time I've received an abnormal amount of orders and I feel like a little jewelry Elf.  It's a really exciting time for Rasbarri and my heart feels full and happy.

I've gone through a copious amount of changes lately, both personally and professionally and as much as I'd love my mantra to encompass all things Zen of "sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself"...it ain't gonna happen that way ;)


I have many new items to post SO please check back often to see what's new.  Don't forget the secret "HOLIDAY" password for 25% off this holiday season (valid through Christmas Eve!)
