I believe good awaits all of us and is etched into every part of our story, even in the challenging seasons. A thistle is both beautiful and bristly, as is life. It’s in these moments that we get to decide what story we align ourselves with. I have personally walked the ruins of my own story and asked God to take these pieces and create something beautiful. I believe beauty can come from ashes. The vision of The Good Thistle is to embrace our unearthed and raw, vulnerable and authentic stories and wear them with dignity and hope for the future. When you wear these earrings, I hope you feel confident in who you were created and crafted to be. My deepest hope is you would remember your story does not have to be perfect to be beautiful and neither do you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, raw pieces and all. There is good in every part of your story. 

Each pair is crafted with care and with you in mind. Thank you for being here and for supporting my work. Your support means the world to me and my little family.
