If there is one thing I fall hard for it has to be unique, handcrafted jewelry. Because jewelry is so personal, I believe it can reveal a lot about the individual and their lifestyle. I came across The Work Chair necklace (below) by Montreal-based Bruxe Design while flipping through the August 2010 issue of Canadian House and Home. I went on to search for more like this and happened upon Australian based jeweler, Oye Modern…and that’s when I fell in love with these…

The i Heart, The Pencil Shaving, and Saved You a Seat necklaces are handcrafted by Victoria Mason who finds inspiration in everyday household objects.  Clearly, any of these are worth a PDA (public display of affection). What a great way to showcase your passion for design!  
Which of these would you wear?

HI,
I'M ERIKA.

Beyond the Blueprint is a curated journal where legacy, lifestyle, and intentional design converge.

Here, I share stories from the heart of my home and the homes I create—faith-filled reflections, family rhythms, wellness practices, and design inspiration rooted in grace and purpose.

From motherhood and marriage to the sidelines of Friday night lights, each entry offers a glimpse into the layered life I live—and the brands, spaces, and values that support it.

Whether you're here to be inspired, encouraged, or aligned, welcome. This is life beyond the blueprint
