#CLPGIVESBACK
We feel lucky to do what we love every day, and recognize we are part of a larger community and world. Supporting organizations here in our own community or who are doing work on the national level that we find important, will always be at the core of what we do. Sometimes we run givebacks for a period of time (like when the proceeds from your purchases last holiday season helped us give $5000 to
Wanderlust
Antsy. As in, ants in my pants. For some new scenery. To get on a plane again! Are you feeling me? It goes without saying it’s been Groundhog Day for most of us for the better part of a year now.

Tucson Gem Show
In February I traveled to the Tucson Gem Show. It was my sixth year going and it continues to get better each time. I always leave feeling excited, inspired and centered.
