Introducing Ocean Breeze

Otherwise known as mompotter, this shop is full to overflowing right now with jewelry at great prices.


A little bit about Linda...

I am a homeschooling mom with four children ranging in age from 2 to 10 years old. I have a MFA in ceramics and have been without a studio to work in for several years now. I began making jewelry a few years ago both as a creative outlet and to supplement our one income family.

I enjoy the creative process and tend to be a perfectionist. I make everything to the best of my ability. It's a curse really!


I really try to keep my prices in a range that makes the items affordable for one income families. There is no reason why everyone shouldn't be able to wear something beautiful. If you prefer something that I have made in a sterling silver I am happy to work with you on pricing.


If you would like something for a child or teen I am always happy to work with you on size and styles. Please take a look around the shop and be sure to remember me for Christmas shopping.


If you don't see something in the color you like, just ask! Special orders keep be from getting bored with my own ideas.

Introducing Miapella

Miapella is a family thing. As a family we make classic designs with a modern twist.


I, Tanisha (aka mom), do most of the creating and my husband, Melvin (aka dad) handles the business side. Our children, whom we homeschool, help us with various tasks and we're a pretty good team!

All of us enjoy making things. My husband and sons enjoy working with wood and leather (check out our leather cuffs!) and my daughters love to sew and make jewelry. My loves include, sewing, embroidery, jewelry making and making organic herbal skin care products.

Besides making things we raise La Mancha goats for milk, a bunch of chickens, two cute ducks (itsy and bitsy), too many cats, and 3 great dogs.

Visit our blog to get to know us better and find out what we're up to.
