Where We Create: AnnaKayCreations

A peak into the space where AnnaKayCreations created her lovely jewelry...

How would you describe the space in which you create?
Two words- simple and comfortable.

What is your favorite thing about your space?
The lighting is the best part, it hits right in the middle of the dinning room. Lighting is very important in the jewelry making process.

How do you keep your space organized?
I like to keep things really organized. All my beads and findings are sorted by color and organized in storage containers so I can easily find what I need. If the beads are no longer in use the storage containers are stacked in my pink jewelry craft bag, it stores up to 12 of these containers and it's very convenient. When my jewelry creations meet my expectations I package them in resealable storage bags and securely place them in the jewelry bag, a separate compartment from the storage containers. Everything else such as the shipping supplies, thank you cards, brochures, jewelry boxes etc are neatly organized in separate boxes for future use. Keeping my space organized keeps me focused on what I'm doing.




Do you have inspiration pieces in your space?

hmmm, not really. Can be anything :)



Is there something else you'd like to share about your space?
For now it's comfortably small but I could use a much bigger space.

Local Featured Seller: AnnaKayCreations

Who are you?
My name is Anna and my Etsy shop name is
Anna Kay Creations

Where are you located?
Durham, NC

What do you create?
Handmade beaded Jewelry- this includes necklaces, earrings, bracelets, beading accessories and cool designs that fit the occasion.


What is your favorite place to visit in the "triangle"?
Great question! I love
South Point Mall. You can dine, shop, watch a movie, spend an afternoon both indoors and outdoors in one spot. It’s also conveniently located less than 2 miles away from home. It couldn’t be any better. :)

When did you start creating?
I started creating around beginning of this year, it all started when I was invited by a friend to attend a crafts get together out of town. I was amazed at my ability to incorporate different jewelry components into a beautiful piece. From then on I've been so hooked and I've learned so much in such a short period of time, so I here I am. I really enjoy it.

What is your most cherished handmade item?
Necklaces because this was the first jewelry I ever created and that was the starting point of my desire to venture into jewelry making.

Why did you choose your medium?
It’s lovable, it’s addictive - anybody who does the same will most likely say so. Plus, there’s no limit to what I can make.

Where do you create?
At home in my dinning room.
What inspires you?
I am inspired by
everything around me, my faith, people, life, nature and our beautiful earth. My family inspires me for all the unconditional love and support they have afforded me. Did I mention the amazing talents at Etsy?
