I’ve been working on a way to combine two of my passions—writing and jewelry-making—and I am so excited to announce that I will now be selling Hope Bracelets!

I’ve been making jewelry since I was twelve years old. I love all of the colorful beads and the peaceful calm I get when I’m making patters and stringing beads. I enjoy any chance I get to work with my hands and let my mind wander into my story worlds.

Ever since Somewhere Only We Know was published I had been trying to think of a way I could help spread the message of hope that the book offers and maybe raise some money for organizations that help victims of abuse. Then I found these really cute charms that say “hope” on them and I decided to make bracelets with them and give a portion of the proceeds to a local domestic violence shelter.

All of the bracelets are green to tie in with the nature elements of Somewhere Only We Know. Each bracelet is handmade and one-of-a-kind. I’ll be selling them for $10.00 each and donating half of the proceeds to a local shelter.

Get a bracelet. Wear it. Spread hope. And know that part of your purchase is going toward a great cause.
