I have been making jewelry and selling at fairs and festivals in the Milwaukee, WI area since 1985. I also have an online store on Etsy. The work is done by myself and by my husband, Frank Shurla, who is a goldsmith by trade. I got into the business working for someone else in the early 80's, learned on the job, and went out on my own in 1985. I live in Brookfield, WI, with my husband. We have two grown sons, Ian and Avery.
