Mike
OWNER
Mike loves a good Old Fashioned from the blue door. When he isn't running the store, he enjoys kicking back reading a book, playing video games, or watching old movies. He has one child who has the power of 10 children! One of the weirdest jobs he ever had was as a movie projectionist, with one of the old reel projectors!
Denise
COO CFO
Denise's favorite movie is Dirty Dancing so it isn't surprising that her favorite actor of all time is Patrick Swayze. She has two teen girls and an adorable dog named Asscher, of course, named after her favorite diamond shape. Her travel dream is to see the Northern Lights.
Donna
SALES
Donna describes herself as southern, so of course, her favorite thing to drink is an iced tea with lemon. She has 4 children and 14 grandchildren! She enjoys reading and working in her yard in her spare time. Something you would never guess about her is she enjoys fictional books about serial killers.
Paula
SALES
Paula enjoys an ICE cold Perrier water with lots of lemon. So refreshing! She describes herself as passionate. Someday she would like to travel to Israel.
Billy
SALES
Billy's favorite movie is The Goonies. He loves JLo and Selena, and describes himself as EXTRA! He does not have any children, but his schnauzer Louie is basically like his child.
Luis
SALES
Luis plays soccer in his spare time. Someday he would love to travel to Brazil. In the evenings you can catch him winding down with a glass of red wine. His favorite book is "Life of Pi"
Isaiah
SALES
Isaiah loves traveling and if he could travel anywhere in the world he would go to Germany. His favorite drink is a delicious strawberry patron margarita. When he's not at work he is snuggling his precious old English bulldog, Luna.
Chandee
SALES
Chandee is a romantic at heart who finds joy in people, poetry, and the pages of Scripture. Fluent in coffee and forever curious, she loves trying new hobbies and sees everyday as something worth celebrating. When she’s not in your local craft store, she’s making plans and dreaming big!
Carlos
MARKETING MANAGER
Carlos likes to call himself a “musician,” dabbling with the violin and guitar, writing songs, and occasionally pretending he can sing. Fueled by coffee and inspired by road trips, he’s also—ironically for a musician—a big fan of silence. When he’s not lost in creative thoughts, you’ll probably find him cooking or scouting out his next favorite restaurant.
Tank
SHOP MANAGER
I like to chill watching movies or saving the world via role playing computer games. Spending time with my wife of 44 years is still one of my favorite things to do. Whether just window shopping locally with an ice cream cone or out of town exploring Texas. I have a killer attack dog PeeWee, all of 12lbs. He has a big bark but no bite. I served our nation for 21+ years in the US Army & Texas National Guard. I got to stand at the gates of Babylon and patrolled in the delta of the Tigris and Euphrates river where the Bible says The Garden of Eden was. I've wanted to be a jeweler since I was a young boy.
Grace
JEWELER
Grace's favorite drink is an amaretto sour and she loves to read in her downtime. She started working as a jeweler right at the end of 2020 and has been in love ever since. Her favorite quote is "life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get", Forest Gump.
Melanie
JEWELER
Melanie is a daydreamer who loves turning ideas into reality. She’s been a bench jeweler since 2010. Outside of work, she’s usually lost in a romantic novel or caring for orphaned kittens through her nonprofit rescue. Her happy place is an iced coffee in hand, surrounded by books, plants, and a house full of kittens.
Mikaila
LEAD TREASURE HUNTER
Mikaila is happiest with a good cup of coffee, a stack of books nearby, and plans that involve either shopping or spending time with her family. She has a home library of nearly 1,000 books, loves murder documentaries and thrillers, and never passes up the chance to explore an estate sale or a haunted place. Fall and Halloween are her favorites, and her go-to jewelry style is layered and stacked yellow gold.
Jeanny
INVENTORY GATEKEEPER
Jeanny's favorite thing to drink is water....or jack and coke ;) Her dream vacation is a trip to Bali! The weirdest job she ever had was working at 7-11 (SOOOOOO many weirdos). Her favorite quote? "Anything that costs you your peace is too expensive."
Kayla
SPARKLE STRATEGIST
Kayla’s favorite moments are the simple ones, dancing whenever she gets the chance, curling up for movie nights at home, and spending time with her family, especially her daughter. She loves rom-coms, historical fiction, and the Scream movies, and she is a longtime Taylor Swift fan with a growing collection of her cardigans. She finds the most joy in the people, stories, and little traditions that make life feel special.
Germanico

He loves seeing his children becoming young adults and pursuing their dreams in life. He values celebrating their milestones through dinners, events and treasures.
