I own and operate a small shop in downtown Northfield called Aescendant Accessories.  The shop carries jewelry, accessories, and home decor.  Some is manufactured, but my favorite thing is to offer products that are handcrafted locally.  I love finding great bargains, and helping others find great deals, so I make sure to keep everything I offer very affordable. I also like artsy, craftsy things, and love being able to help local artists and crafters market their creations. 

In addition to running the store, I've been attending graduate school, I'm a full-time step-mom to a fifth grader, and mom to an October 2011 baby.  I'm finally going to finish my degree this spring and am looking forward to having more time to get reacquainted with my own creative side.   If I have any success, maybe I'll bring some of my projects to the store, too.
