Thank You…… First and foremost, I have to humbly thank all of the small businesses who took a chance on our new firm this year. As any business owner, starting a new venture, all I had to begin with was a dream. I had a desire to bring small and home-based businesses to the forefront of the retail industry. The beauty & quality of handmade items goes unsurpassed, and sadly, many times, unnoticed. It has been my supreme desire to help small businesses grow. I never would have dreamed that we would have come this far in such a short period of time. You have all made our first year in business an amazing success. It has been a pleasure gifting your precious products to your favorite celebrities. From our small corporate offices in Orange, MA to the bright lights of New York City, it has been a thrilling year! We have experienced deep satisfaction in the ability to bring you priceless exposure at a price you can afford. Thank you to all of the wonderful celebrities who have been so open to receiving all of these beautiful creations and for taking the time to write emails, send photos of yourselves with the products, and for proving to small businesses that their products can make it to the top. I remain incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve you all, and give thanks to my Lord, Jesus Christ, for making all things possible. I will continue to pray for the continued success of the businesses we serve, and pray that the Lord’s blessings abound for your families this Holiday Season. God Bless, -Founder/CEO, Brandy Runyan

Arden Jewelry Design was founded by Sara Pollack in the Summer of 2007 when she saw a need for quality, unique jewelry. Sara has always had a passion for one-of-a-kind pieces, as well as a hidden creative side. Through her work, Sara strives to create timeless and distinctive pieces of jewelry of the highest quality. She uses only the best stones and metals in the jewelry she produces. Sara's goal is for the recipient to feel special and elegant when wearing one of her designs. When selecting materials, Sara looks for unique colors and textures. She imagines how the different colors and textures will play together, and the type of statement the final piece will make. Sara often mixes unusual components, such as quartz chips and pearls. This combination is a reflection of Sara and of Arden Jewelry Design, delicate and sweet, but a little edgy at the same time. As no two women are the same, no two pieces are the same. The styles Sara produces vary from the very sophisticated to almost whimsical. All of her pieces are hand made, and can never be mass-produced.

Here at Courtney Marie Jewelry, my goal has always been to offer a unique customer service experience to every customer. I take great pride in offering a hand-made jewelry line of mostly one-of-a-kind pieces that you’re guaranteed not to find anywhere else! My business has taken quite a journey to get to where it is now. I started a brick & mortar shop in San Marcos, Texas, and soon after traveled, showing my work at art shows around the country. With the birth of my two children, direction changed and I found myself staying in one place to work on my jewelry when I had free time. I do all of the work, start to finish, myself. From the designing to the cutting of the sterling silver, soldering, stamping, polishing, and setting of semi-precious stones. I love to create new items and welcome new ideas and creating one-of-a-kind pieces. -Owner, Courtney Payne

“I am a stay at home mom to a beautiful, amazing, fun 2 year old Baby Girl - who I love and adore so much. I would have never started this shop if I hadn't had my sweet little Addie. I never dreamed I would be creating hair accessories but my whole life has changed since I had my Addie Kate. I started getting the crafting bug making things for my wedding five years ago and again during my pregnancy creating things for the nursery room. When Addie was born I started making headbands for her and received so many compliments. I love vintage, sparkle, lace, silk and fun animal prints. I have truly embraced my girlie girl since my daughter. I hope you love my creations as much as I have loved designing and making them.” -Owner/Designer Kristine Bennett

I simply love to crochet & create, it is my true passion. I believe that handmade gifts are the best. I was raised doing all sorts of crafts with my Mom and Grandmothers. I put every bit of my passion and creativity into each item I create. I am a perfectionist by nature, so nothing goes out that I wouldn’t use or give out myself.
