I’ve been thinking a lot lately (for a couple of years) about starting a pop-up boutique to sell vintage clothing, housewares, accessories and jewelry. I was excited about the idea and had so many thoughts rushing through my head about it. But one thing was holding me back. I didn’t want to do it alone. I pushed fear aside and decided to go for it- all by myself! It would be called “Rosa’s Picks”. In that same week, through having made that decision, I started telling people about my plan. Low and behold, a partner surfaced!! A fellow jewelry artist, and friend of mine, Sherri O’Neil, had been struggling with the same dilemma of not wanting to go it alone. So we’ve teamed up to create ROAM Treasure Trove. Our first pop-up stop is a fabulous little boutique. It is called Urban Gypsies, and it’s in Sedona, Arizona. We will be opening our doors- or should I say curtains?- on Saturday, June 20th. If you are in the area, stop by and see what treasures we have to offer!
Want to know where we’ll pop-up next? Follow us on Facebook.

Makes a great gift! What better way to show loved ones recovering from, at risk of, or in the process of fighting breast cancer your support!
Recently on a trip away from my current forest home to the central coast of California, I was reminded how much I love the sea. In particular, I love the night sea… During a long walk under the silvery moonlight with the waves crashing at my feet, I was inspired to create my latest collection- A Love Letter to the Night Sea
Upon seeing a sneak peak of this new collection, a friend of mine (who I consider to be a brilliant writer) was inspired as well…
A Love Letter To The Night Sea…
“Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
’til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving to your isle
and you sang
sail to me…
sail to me…
let me enfold you”
-Song To The Siren
The last image in the sailor’s eye, a dance of silver, a shimmering glint of abalone, of ocean and pearl.
The power of wanderlust has brought her far from her own coastal home, and this homesickness for the Ocean is the essence of Rosa’s new collection, A Love Letter To The Night Sea. The romance between human and ocean has existed since the beginning of time. Greek mythology tells of the sirens, their beauty and the lure of their haunting song enticing sailors to crash their boats along the rocks of their jagged shores, lost to the depths forever. The Irish believed in the mythic half seal women, who left behind their rich seal skins to walk on land and take human lovers. But the call of the ocean often got the best of the Selkie brides, who abandoned their husbands and families. Unable to deny their one true love’s beckoning, they would return to the sea.
This collection is the relationship between the lovelorn and the sea. It is the moonlight on ocean, the glitter of the breakers in the distance. These pieces are the last tokens of love left, by the sea’s mysterious creatures, mementos of the broken hearted mermaids, who chose the tide over the lover.
Rosa has said that is the control of the silver, the ability to mold and bend it lovingly to her will, that is the part of the empowering and magical artistic process she is blessed to experience. Like the ocean that cuts away at earth, forging the coastline and its ancient beauty, each piece is a delicate seascape, a coastline of metal, crafted by that same passion and pull of the tide.
