“I’ve spent a lot of time weaving, but you’d know it from my hands.
With threads, hair, and twisted fabrics, I weave fragments of myself, bits of other people. I weave in lies, and I weave in love, and in the end, it’s hard to know if one keeps me warmer than the other.”
Excerpt form The Rapture of Canaan by Sheri Reynolds

I have been in awe of beauty as long as I can remember --- sunlight filtered through a flower petal or butterfly wing, the murmur of the wind over a field of grass, the scent of fresh cinnamon buns filling the kitchen,
the wrinkles on my Grandmother's face,
the softness of fine linen against my skin
--- I have long believed that beauty can be found everywhere
A seamstress, doll maker, knitress and jewelry artist, I have enjoyed a long relationship with the public, having sold my creations since I was a young woman. My love for human adornment eventually - and not surprisingly - resulted in the creation of my first jewelry line in 1989.
Over the years, Sandra Eileen Jewelry has become known for a bold use of color and texture as well as an eye for asymmetrical designs. Each item available is created by Me, Myself - with a deep appreciation for the creative process - I strive to imbue my pieces with positive energy for the ultimate mistress of the item, whether simple earrings or an elaborate shawl.
Made with care and love -
For Your Good Life - by Sandra Eileen
I enjoy life with each of my senses ~
and have been known to indulge in fine wools, cotton, linens and silks as well as lovely stockings and scents.
I adore preparing food, from the selecting of fresh produce and ingredients to the tactile stimulation of chopping and mixing ~
I enjoy fine chocolates, an occasional Bourbon or Scotch and am instantly transported to another world listening to Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits or Bob Dylan.
I am a dedicated customer of local farmers and producers and independent artists.
This tumblr blog shares a selection of the multitude of things things that feed and inform my creative spirit/
Be Well --- Sandra Eileen
