Saluton, Guten Morgen, and hello to you all! My name is Aubin and I just joined the team at Turtle Love Co. this past month. By way of introduction, here is a post to tell you a little bit about me.
I come from a background that, on the surface, seems to have little to do with selling jewelry. For the past two years I worked as a tour guide and social media maven for a local historic house museum, a job that has left me with a love of history and of having engaging conversations with people I have just had the pleasure of meeting. To balance out being immersed in the 19th century, I started a blog called In the Usual Way that focuses on allergy-friendly recipes, antiquated etiquette, and style using second hand clothing and accessories. My main goal in living my life is to make sure that I live in such a way as to support local business, be equally nice to everyone, and to keep the past in harmony with the present. These are also the things that drew me to Turtle Love Co.
Turtle Love Co.’s philosophy is seen in the products they sell, which can be divided into three categories:
-Artisan jewelry: TLC does more than order rings from local artists. They know each of the artists and have a relationship with them that goes beyond a company and producer. In other words, they support the artists in every sense of the word.
-Eco friendly jewelry: They are conscious of the impact they make on the environment. You can read more about TLC’s commitment to being green here.
-Vintage jewelry: If I allow myself to have a favorite (and sometimes I do) it would be our vintage jewelry. There’s a delicious mystery to vintage that allows you to create your own story and, best of all, it’s going to be one of a kind, just like the person wearing it.
As the weeks progress, I will be, in addition to updating our Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest accounts, writing posts with a decidedly historical flavor on this blog. If you have a suggestion of something you would like to learn more about that’s related to jewelry and history, just let me know!
