HELLO AND WELCOME to my world of hand made pendants! My name is Michelle Meyer and I fell in love with creating necklace pendants in 2011.

I BEGAN PAINTING these pendants for myself but soon other people noticed, began asking about them and wanted to know how to purchase one for themselves. Not long after that, my first Etsy shop was born (https://www.paintedcottagestudio.etsy.com). But I wanted to expand and create even more pendants with gorgeous images. My second Etsy shop was created in 2013 and is ever-expanding with beautiful prints; some from my creations, some from other talented artists, and some from vintage finds (https://www.premierpendants.etsy.com).

AFTER GRADUATING from both Illinois State University and Northern Illinois University, working many years and raising two children (okay, I'm not finished raising them -- they're still young-ish!), I feel that when I work in my studio I've come full circle and I'm home again. It's my passion and continues to pull me back, to create, to evolve. I've been married 24 years to my wonderful husband, who has been known to occasionally sit down and designed a few images for me as well!

I'M EXCITED to share my work with you and I invite you to browse my shops and come back to visit again to see what's new!

~Michelle
