"I believe that it is our imperfections that make us beautiful, our mistakes that make us who we are." - Terri Ellenburg, Founder/Artist
Every great dream begins with a dreamer…
And I am a dreamer.
EIGHT years ago I was a struggling single mom working a Nine to Five job at a local bank, running myself ragged to ballgames and PTA meetings (like SO many moms out there today!)…
And I had this little dream about starting a business that inspired others with wearable words as daily motivation… a gypsy free thinking community minded lifestyle brand that uplifted and supported others through real life, quotes, song lyrics, etc., simply stamped into pieces of metal in the form of jewelry art.
After selling locally to fiends, family, and around my little town of Greeneville, Tennessee for a couple years, in 2010, I started a little online shop that has slowly gown over the last six years into the business I have today with nearly 15,000 sales, 30,000 followers on Facebook and 10,000 on instagram!
“The World breaks everyone. It’s afterward, that some are STRONGEST in the BROKEN places.” –Unknown
I believe that it is our imperfections that make us beautiful, our mistakes that make us who we are.
I like to buy big boxes of tangled and broken jewelry, old worn out leather belts, and tarnished vintage flatware, meticulously going through these findings salvaging anything that can be used or repurposed.
Everything I recover was once new and attractive and like so many of us the world has broken them. But just because things are broken, doesn’t mean they are not beautiful…they are in fact, beautifully broken.

My pieces are a reflection of my own story.
Let me make you a Unique Customized piece as an expression to help you tell your story.
