For years, we were located just a few blocks from the University of Oregon. This was great for students who wanted to sandwich a work shift in between their classes. And it was great for us because we got to meet all kinds of wonderful young people. Even better, many of them have kept in touch and I still get to see them, from time to time (never as often as I would like).
One of these speical people is Naomi, who now lives in Seattle. Although she has a myriad talents, she earns a living at Jamie Joseph Jewelry. I just checked out their website and, if you click on "Our Story", you get a real cool little video clip of everyone running around making jewelry.
The owners apparently are obsessed with stones. They search out fabulous stones and then combine them with gold, silver, platinum and diamonds to make wearable treasures. You should take a look at their work!
After hours, Naomi runs her own little business called Laurel Tea. Naomi is a certified Naturopath, having graduated a few years back fromBastyr University. Her teas are handcrafted medicinal botanical blends of organically grown and selectively wild-crafted roots, leaves, fruits, flowers, barks and branches. We are not talking Earl Grey here!
Naomi makes custom blends for all kinds of occasions. I was at a wedding last year and the favors were Naomi's teas. Pretty cool and a lot more meaningful than another bottle of wedding bubbles.
So, if you are looking for something that is from the Northwest and will do you a world of good, look no further!
