“I had my first visit to Europe in September 2008 where I was surrounded by beautiful countryside, artists and their art. I came back to the States inspired to be an artist and designed the pendant that a local glass artist here brought to life even better than I imagined! By Halloween 2008 I had the first prototype, by Thanksgiving 2008, I was filling orders.

I called them Esperaza Treasures to name them after the town in the south of France that inspired them.

The name translates as ‘hope’.

I hope people enjoy them as much as I’ve enjoyed being part of creating them.”
