I handcraft every piece of jewelry in my shop with beautiful, high quality materials to create pieces you will love wearing to all occasions. My shop derived from the passion I have had since I was a kid for jewelry and for creating new things that people will enjoy. The name of my shop derived from a day when I was joking with my coworkers. We were talking about if one day I open a business it wi
ll be called MaryJoe. The name originated from the names of the members of my family. I live in a lovely community in Miami, Florida and I have been married for 26 years, and I have two adorable daughters. I used to be a chemistry teacher for eleven years in Cuba, but during the last eight years I have experienced working with special needs children. As you might know, in this occupation the income is not that great. As a result, the people close to me were pushing me to find a job that would provide me with more income and flexibility. Yet, I still enjoy my job because I have shared beautiful moments with these children that I never could of imagined coming into the job. This job woke up in me the ability to create that I have had since I was a little girl. I have received positive feedback for my creations, and I even sold pieces based on the demand for my items. My two favorite passions within my creativity are crochet and jewelry. I do not have any define style; in other words my creations are freestyle. I love to work with different materials in order to design a piece that can be elegant, casual, bohemic, while providing more variety in my selection. I discovered Etsy through my oldest daughter, and I am extremely thankful for it. I believe Etsy is the job/opportunity that I desire and that will give me the flexibility to combine with my permanent job. I hope you enjoy my shop, and thank you for supporting me.
