I'm Marilyn Perez and my shop is Pulp Sushi, full of bold and colorful handmade "retro-inspired" jewelry. Born and raised in New York, I currently live in Fishkill with my boyfriend. I have a major sweet-tooth, a love for low-brow art, books, music, photography, knitting/crochet, and working on my personal blog. My jewelry is inspired by mid-century nostalgia mixed with gothic Victorian glamour. I'm the Blogger-In-Chief (a title I just gave myself right this moment).
I'm Lisa Walbridge and my Etsy shop is merryalchemy where I sell ornate and whimsical handcrafted jewelry inspired by bygone eras, flowers, and fairy tales. When I'm not making jewelry, I love to read, run, and do boot camp. I am a recent transplant to the Hudson Valley from Massachusetts. I live in Beacon and absolutely love the mix of bustling Main Street with the rural beauty of the hills and the river.
