The Sharyn Gayle collection is a life-long dream come true. I have always wanted to be a business owner, but I didn't know what my product or service would be.

One Sunday, hearing a sermon about the three talents, I asked silently if I, in fact, had a particular gift/talent. I was initially put in a position where I realized my interest was in jewelry making and designing accessories. I began to design earrings with matchings stickpins and beautiful brooches with a Victorian flair.

I started participating as a vendor at area craft and holiday shows, which I thoroughly enjoy. Then, one day, I saw a picture of a handbag made from a cigar box, what a novel idea, I thought. This image stayed with me for several weeks, and eventually, I stopped into a local smoke shop and asked about empty cigar boxes and humidors. Well, to keep the story short, I began experimenting with different fabrics, gems, color combinations, and styles. I just let the creative juices flow into what you now see in these exquisite designs.
What a beautiful way to re-cycle.
