Jewels by Jules Since 2006, Jewels by Jules has been inspired by nature’s beauty - natural gemstones, a touch of sparkle, and the ever‑present spirit of the sea. My work has evolved over the last two decades, adapting in style and technique, yet the sea remains the constant source of my inspiration. I handcraft jewelry with natural gemstones and hand‑picked New England sea glass, along with sea‑glass art and coastal gifts. I’m most inspired when creating custom pieces. Bringing someone’s vision to life fills me with joy, and connecting with each piece’s uniqueness is what keeps my passion thriving. I make sure to bring my supplies to each show so I can customize a piece for you on the spot! jewelsbyjulescreations.com

Lucy's Dog Biscuits Lucy’s Dog Biscuits are handmade using just four wholesome, natural, locally sourced ingredients: spent grain from local breweries, whole wheat flour, ground peanuts, and eggs. Spent grain, the wet mash left over from the beer brewing process (see the back of our bag for more details), is rich in fiber and protein. We are proud to reuse and repurpose this nutritious by-product of the beer brewing industry! Our dog biscuits do not contain any additives or preservatives and are carefully dehydrated for a naturally long shelf life. Your dog will love the taste and you will appreciate the simple, honest ingredients.

Roots and Remains My art invites you to hold the natural world in your hands — to feel its quiet power and timeless grace. Each piece is a nature-inspired creation, woven from what is grown, found, and remembered. Through stone, bone, and bloom, I honor the conversation between life, death, and renewal — the eternal rhythm of the earth itself. rootsandremains25.square.site
