Bits & Bobs began as a way to allow me to have a creative outlet while working as an event coordinator and executive director for a local non-profit. After 14 years working for this same company, in December of 2013, the merchants association ceased. This was the perfect opportunity to grow Bits & Bobs.

My passion for art, creating things, and repurposing old forgotten items started from a very young age. About 20 or so years ago, I took a stained glass class and fell in love! What started out as tinkering with stained glass gradually morphed into making small ornaments, blending stained glass techniques, and collage. Now, Bits & Bobs has become an eclectic mix of vintage and antique pieces mixed with soldered glass techniques and whatever sparks my imagination. Giving old things a new story and life. 

Giving Forgotten Pieces A New Story

In 2014, I participated in several small shows in the Houston area, learning the ropes, so to speak. In 2015, I booked bigger vendor shows, shows that were more fitting for my work, looking for the right clientele. Currently, I do a few markets, but mostly I host a live sale on my Facebook business page every week. My goal, and my dream for many years, is to eventually have my own permanent store front. Not just for Bits & Bobs, but to have a makers shop that focuses on local artisans and hosts classes to teach others a craft. Bits & Bobs has grown so much in the last 10 years. I’m looking forward to what the future has in store.
