I try to go with the flow as much as possible. In the past year and a half it's been a 360. I made a lot of changes in my career path, which have all led me back to the studio. It's where I find peace, enjoyment, creativity, and can still connect to others. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've had my shop on Etsy for almost 6 years and have just changed the name from VerreEncore to Enfuse Jewelry. It feels good to have a name that truly fits :)</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've also relocated my blog... so if in the future you'd like to hear how I'm doing, how the studio is buzzing, how big my pup has gotten, come on over! I'd love to hear from you too! </div>
