About
Heidi
Hello, and Welcome! My name is Heidi and I am the designer and creator for Yankee Belle . I was born and raised in New England and after moving around the country a bit as a Navy wife, I've spent the last 20 years living in the South. I started making jewelry in 2006, the summer after Hurricane Katrina. I was in Biloxi, Mississippi visiting friends, one of whom had been making jewelry and showed me what she was working on. It quickly became the perfect creative outlet for me and I've been doing it ever since. I'm inspired by many things, but mainly my design ideas come from what I see around me when I'm hiking or just out in nature. I love books, and music, movies and comics and sometimes just getting in a car and driving with no planned destination in mind. Spontaneous road trips are the most fun way to discover new places and people! There are so many things to learn about each other, good and bad, and I hope that you join me on my journey, even if just for a few moments, and come away feeling better
