brandi girl is a blog devoted to sharing inspiration, whether it is my own thoughts for pieces in my jewelry shop, Catie's Blue; colors that inspire me; or things that bring me joy. Through brandi girl, I want to connect with other artists and art lovers, support the handmade community, and share my own handmade pieces with you. Who am I? My name is Brandi, and I'm a full-time jewelry designer, a proud auntie, and a color fanatic. Welcome to my blog.
