Win a beaded necklace!

Stargirl and Co. is my passion project! I have always loved handmaking accessories and jewelry and during the summer of 2020, I decided to open up an Etsy shop. I currently sell mostly beaded jewelry and wire-wrapped rings – I love bright colours and it shows in the pieces I make! I love beading and sharing what I make with others! The support Stargirl and Co. has received is still hard to wrap my head around and I am beyond grateful!

🎉WINTER GIVEAWAY #4🎉
Win a crocheted stuffed elephant!

For the Wanderers was also featured at the SLC Market that happened in January!
~


For the Wanderers is a small business which I created mainly as a place to share some of my artistic creations. As a Queen’s student pursuing a science degree, I needed an outlet for my artistic side so I made various knitted and crocheted items, which friends then asked to buy. And so my passion for art turned into my own little business. For the Wanderers specializes in creating a variety of crocheted stuffed animals with different names and themes. Additionally, I offer crocheted tie back tops, hats, and even some paintings. I hope that through my creations, I can inspire others to embrace their artistic side.
