Found-N-Made

Found-N-Made is new treasures, made from re-purposed and found materials. I'm a stay at home mom, long time thrifter, and rule breaker from way back, who saw a wealth of material and opportunity going to waste in the discarded items at every yard sale and thrift store I visited.  Limited means forced me to look at new ways to use existing materials. That fed the creative part of me. So, I began giving new life to old clothes. The result is, one of a kind items for your kiddos, as unique as they are.  This adventure, of not buying new things, led me to discover how our dollar speaks and effects the world around us, near and far. The choice for unique, re-purposed, and up-cycled items speaks as well. Found-N-Made is trying to save the world, one T-shirt at a time.

My products are all made from used clothing or found fabrics. I use a lot of t-shirts & jeans, but I also use vintage sheets & table cloths. All items are one of a kind this way :) I'm hoping to expand my product diversity for Little Brown Bag!

Heal Meow - Infused With Positive Vibes

Hello,

I'm Valene and I'm just a small town, east coast girl finding her place on the west coast. I grew up and lived in Pennsylvania until I was 28. I moved to New Jersey looking for a fresh start to life. 6 months after moving I met my now Husband, who lived in California.  And BOOM, here I am!!  A 34 yr old married crazy cat lady with a new life, home, business and I couldn't be happier!  

 

Soon after the big move, in 2012 I started making jewelry for myself using healing stones.  I have a small wrist and bracelets just seemed to never fit right so I made them myself.  I loved them so much I started creating them for friends and family and giving them away.  Gemstones and crystals carry energies that people use for specific reasons like anxiety, sleep, energy, love, etc.  I found a reason to give them to everyone close to me!  I started a new fitness place and I wanted to give them away there too.  They thought I was crazy giving them away for free!  With their encouragement I started Heal Meow in June 2014. I am so happy that everyone loves my designs as much as I do. It's all about feeling good and radiating positive vibes.  Your happiness is my happiness!

 

 When I was introduced to essential oils, they were a perfect fit for my jewelry.  One of the stones I design a lot with is Lava. Lava stone literally comes from the core of the earth!  It is volcano rock and once it cools, it becomes porous.  This allows the Lava to hold the oils and is transformed into a personal, stylish diffuser.  I design necklaces and bracelets that you can infuse with your favorite essential oil!
