Emily Keller, people!
A friend of mine at work one day was wearing the most interesting necklace, made of beautiful glass beads and thick copper wire. I asked her about it, and she said it was made by a friend of hers who used to work in the library system but jumped ship last year to do jewelry. And such jewelry! Lucky for me, she sells some of it online, and I was able to go and snap up a few gorgeous pieces right away. She sent them really fast and she was super nice to boot!
Turns out she has a blog, too, which is well written and interesting and a pleasure to read.
