Friday Finds with Myisha

Hello there! My name is Myisha Croom-Turner, Designer and Owner of Brace Yourself Boutique.  I started designing jewelry in 2000 due to the lack of "boho" or untraditional designs in retail stores. I could never find what I was looking for, so I decided to start designing my own jewelry.  People at my job took notice of my designs and I started making jewelry for them as well.  In 2008 I became ill and was forced to take a leave of absence from my full-time job as a correctional officer.  Shortly thereafter, out of boredom and passion for design, Brace Yourself Boutique's online presence was born!
