Dazzling new jewelry by Janet Rubenstein! 😍

We had a great time this past First Friday & Sequel Saturday with jewelry artist Margie Magnuson! Learning how Margie carefully hammers and tweaks each piece into something truly extraordinary brought a new perspective to her work.

A big thanks to Margie for coming all the way from Omaha, Nebraska, to demonstrate for us!

She’s the woman who keeps a book in her bag, stops at the farmers market “just to look,” and somehow always ends up bringing home flowers, a loaf of bread, and something she definitely didn’t plan on buying.

These one-of-a-kind totes are made by Dubuque artist Amanda Reynolds of Creative Chaos. From playful patterns to cozy gingham and little woodland mushrooms, each bag has its own personality and plenty of room for whatever the day brings.

*Find them online or at the Galena gallery*
