Hello, I'm Leta and I am the Owner and Sole Creator of Everything you see at letamariedesigns. I was born in and raised in Corvallis,Oregon. When I married my high school sweetheart we moved just a few miles away to Albany,Or. where we raised our family on our small acre in the country. I have done various crafts over the years, but when my eldest daughter encouraged me to create jewelry, I knew I had found my passion! She is self taught and has been creating jewelry for years now. She taught me some basics and I was off and running. I love VARIETY and that is what you will find in my shop. I use a variety of materials and carefully craft each piece I make.I work outside the home as a School Bus Driver but would love the day to come where I could make this my only occupation. I really Love what I am doing and look forward to learning new techniques when time allows. Leta
