Personally, I love to layer bracelets..I like jangle. I don't know why it never occurred to me to offer this little layer of texture before but they're available now! Organic leather wrist wrap s in distressed grey/brown and at 22" these are long enough to wrap your wrist 3 times or just wear accompanying any pendant. Buy singly at 18.00 US or for 9 with any other purchase. Shown with my favorite bracelet and with new listing..you can find it here 'Jetsam' was created with pieces left over from other work. Still, there is a cohesiveness. Lots of organic brass and sterling silver. A knotted leather loop drawing them to a close. One little square swarovski to bounce the light around. The brass & stone charm comes from the Bazaar in Istanbul.  Uniquely feminine with lots of colorful energy ~❤︎  ~Available bracelets and pendants~

Dad and Mom in the Fabulous '70's When I began this all, several years ago now..I named my little business 'SweetWater' Designs as a tribute to my beloved Dad who we lost to cancer in 1995. The year I turned 14 my father did something many people just think about doing. He left a secure 9-5 job and a house he'd built with his own sweat to follow his lifelong dream of becoming a rancher. He packed up his family of 8 and moved us from the lovely Vancouver Island to 2400 acres of pristine land on a remote northern corner of British Columbia. He promised us adventure and crunchy snow...and that's what we got. I never did take to the crunchy snow. There was an underground stream of crystal clear water that bubbled up out of the earth year round and because of that Dad named his ranch 'SweetWater'. (He was an avid Louis L'Amour reader.)
