Emmy Swenson is another one of those old acquaintances that I inevitably met via my former shop Goldyn. She’s an incredibly talented hairstylist, and I’ve been glad to get to know her more personally as of late. For quite some time now, she’s had a beautiful vision that goes beyond just hairstyling, to supporting other local artists in the Boulder community. Emmy noticed how many of her clients were incredible makers and designers, and yet didn’t have a place to showcase their work locally. So Emmy has gathered the best of the best, and decided to finally create The Found Collective. Our first pop-up market will be held Saturday, September 24th, at the Dairy Arts Center in Boulder. Tickets are $5, which you can purchase here, and are well worth the small fee. This is not your average maker market - shop for antique fine jewelry, designer apparel, hand-beaded adornment, botanically-dyed upcycled garments, beautiful ceramics, expertly curated vintage, and of course Talisman Fine Jewelry will be there with my latest and greatest. Hope to see you there!

If you haven’t checked out this incredible designer consignment boutique, I can tell you that it’s a must-see. As sustainability and circular fashion become more and more important, Common Threads has quickly become THE spot for fashion-centric folks in the Boulder area. Seriously, I can’t walk in there without finding something to pick up... From Gucci lace leggings to Ulla Johnson dresses and Jerome Dreyfuss bags, they’ve got you covered. So come stop in, say hello, and pick up some new-to-you pieces along with the latest Talisman Fine Jewelry spring wares for mom :)
Talisman Studio Tour with Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art

This fall I was honored to be asked by the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art to join them for an online studio tour. I love the ‘full circle’ aspect of getting involved in the Boulder community more, given that it’s my hometown! BMOCA’s Kiah Butcher - who is just a lovely human BTW - and I had a casual convo about my process, the space, how Talisman got started, and more. Since my blog doesn’t support video content, you can peep the full studio tour HERE.
