The studio is filled with newly created jewelry. Please make an appointment to stop by to view new necklaces, earrings and bracelets. I look forward to welcoming you. Love to all on this beautiful Sunday ❤️
As I am called to be with family, I’m taking a break from keeping the studio open. Please email me if you are interested in a new piece of jewelry.
New work will be available in August.
Happy summer, Louise
As spring is in full bloom, temperatures are warmer and summer days are around the corner it’s time to think about gifts for Mother’s Day, graduations and summer birthdays.
I’ll travel earlier this year than usual, so please get your orders in as soon as possible.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Made by request beautiful iolite, tanzanite, sapphire, lapis, pearl and silver bracelet.
The weather can’t decide. One moment the sun comes out and warms up the stones and the damp ground, the tulips, magnolias and camellias are in full bloom and the birds are searching for hiding places to build their nests. The next moment, the sun gets covered by grey clouds, blue turns to nuances of white and grey, rain showers, hail storms and snowfall is upon us. While I observe in awe the changes in nature I feel inspired by the new season approaching. New pieces are being conceived in my sketch book and a mix of gorgeous stones, pearls and metals are laid out on my work table for careful consideration. In short: new pieces are in the works and I can’t wait to show them to my friends and clients. I hope you will make an appointment to stop by for an outdoor private show. I still only invite two people at a time and masks and distance still applies. Thank you for understanding.
Meet on Zoom or FaceTime for a look at the collection. I am working on new pieces made from colorful semiprecious stones, lots of differently shaped freshwater pearls mixed with gold, silver and oxidized (black) silver. Hopefully we can soon meet again for private viewings on the deck outside of my studio, until then, stay safe and take care of yourself and others. ❤️ Louise
Beautiful Freshwater Pearls on 14k gold filled hoops. Message me for price. Free shipping.
Happy New Year!
Best wishes for good days to come.
Peace and Love,
Louise
Saying good bye to 2020 and welcome to 2021
December is upon us, the days are shorter and the holidays are approaching. Please consider supporting small independent businesses as you find meaningful, lasting gifts for family members and friends.
There are many small book stores and artisan shops around the country and all will offer you the personal connection we all miss this year and happily ship to you.
Some examples for lasting gifts are plants and bulbs from local garden shops, pottery, jewelry and clothes made by artisans and craftspeople that put their hearts and souls in to their creations and art made at this special moment in time. Thoughtful giving of meaningful gifts create beautiful moments of joy and invaluable memories.
Please stop by and see my winter collection. Make an appointment by text, email, phone call or IG DM.
Open all days by appointment only.
Please join me in the studio to view my current collection of jewelry and to work with me on creating custom made pieces by special order. Email, call or DM on Instagram to make an appointment.

Lustrous Tahitian South Sea Pearls and 18k Gold Earrings
I am so excited to welcoming you back to visits in my studio. Please email, call or direct message me on Instagram to make an appointment.
I look forward to showing my latest work in safe surroundings. Outdoor visits available.
All Covid 19 precautions apply. Only two guests at a time. Please bring your mask. Hand sanitizer provided at arrival.
Wherever you are enjoy your summer!
Long warm days and hopefully time to read some good books, cook some delicious meals, maybe even from produce grown at home in your garden or in pots during SIP. Take some long walks and if you are near a lake or the ocean go for a swim. Instead of regretting what we cannot do this summer, we can try to appreciate what is instead, a slower pace of life, more quiet time for reflection, listening, and simply being, instead of doing. If you have the privilege to take some time off - enjoy!
I’ll be on vacation from Monday with limited access to mailing orders out, but look forward to reconnecting in August when I open the studio with hopefully new found energy and inspiration. Wishing everyone a very happy and beautiful summer.
June. Spring is turning in to summer, the evenings are bright and serve us mellow pastel colored sunsets. If you want to buy some new jewelry for summer, please contact me.
The injustice in our society that we witness everyday leaves no one impartial. I have decided to take my solidarity and verbal support off of my social media and keeping it mostly private, but it feels hollow to write about sunsets and spring colors without mentioning how deeply the recent weeks have affected us and made it crystal clear that our ways of living have to change. This is not a political column so I’ll refrain from elaborating further here and continue to support organizations which I believe work for a more just, equal and peaceful world. My mission when I started Peace à Porter was to make something beautiful while doing my part in supporting positive change and I’ll continue doing so and cannot thank you, my clients, enough for having enabled that mission. Thank you. Happy June!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend 💗
Lustrous Tahitian Pearls on oxidized silver chain. Arrived at client’s home yesterday with USPS next day shipping. Grateful for clients and frontline workers.
Today it’s been exactly 2 months since we began to Shelter In Place at home. We continue our life with all its duties and work in new and different ways. I design and make new jewelry. Clients have reached out and ordered Mothers’ day, birthday and graduation gifts and I love how so many of you have purchased a beautiful piece of jewelry to lift your own spirit and decided to wear jewelry at home during lock down. Because Why Not?
I have started a few new painting projects and I can’t help but notice that some days I wake up with energy, inspiration and creativity that I can put to work and other days I feel anxious for the future and creatively paralyzed and must succumb to the fact that nothing will emerge from my hands. On those days I clean the house, scrub the toilets, get the laundry done and organize cluttered spaces. I’m lucky to live in a place where I can go for long walks that help shift the mood.
Taking on practical tasks can push the worries away. Sewing masks for friends and family close by, knitting, cooking and writing electronic letters to family and friends far away. When we realized that Shelter In Place would probably be more than a few weeks, I decided to start a little garden. A member of our household built raised beds and we started seeds and seedlings. Now, several weeks later we can harvest the first basil, arugula, lettuce, dill and chives and a few small tomatoes are showing up. It’s fun to follow the garden grow every day, being outside in the clear air, listening to the many sounds of birds and insects. 2 months and many projects later I feel connected to my community and to the Earth and am grateful for the people in my life. How are you doing?
