Mission Statement



↔↑←↑←↓→↨↔↑Mission Statement←↓→↨↔↑↔↑←↓


Every stone deserves a place to be. Especially when someone has gone out of their way to make it so, then, in doing so, later decides that something went wrong and the stone gets tossed to the side. Perhaps it wasn’t a stone at all, but someone thought it was, therefore it got cast out. Perhaps it is a piece of metal, borne of the scrap of 'ill refuse.'

Our mission is to show that each and every stone, no matter how mangled it is, no matter what it has seen in its better days, it shall have a place in our world, a place to show it’s own beauty before it returns to the big furnaces below where it will be melted, reformed, and remade into something new in the future; long after we are gone. After all, aren't we all living on borrowed time?


Just because it has been cast aside here, over and over, by hands searching for the perfect specimen; just because it has now become one of the “unchosen,” we have made a place for it in our world; because like stone, we, as people also have our own misfits and unchosen, and we are all here together in this world. There is truly a place for all.


It’s amazing when one thinks about it; the thing is: we have been led to believe that we are all perfect in our own way. The reality is that there are only a few absolutely perfect things in this world, and the rest of us?

Move over Sneaky Little Devils, Here Comes Squirrely Girlie!!!!

We proudly welcome a new member to the MisFit family!


She slips in unannounced, but not quietly. So here she is, for your entertainment:
Squirrely Girlie



I am a squirrely girlie
I am twisty turnie
Bendy whirlie...
I am over and under
and I love rain and thunder.
I am weathered and tethered
and never unfettered.
I am right where I
Am supposed to be
A set of gems, for you...
A gift from me.




After hand knotting a beautiful beaded necklace of these pretty faceted carnelian gems, each separated by 14k gold filled spacers, I was left with a small handfull of these sweeties.

What to do...what to do....

They were too pretty to toss (like I ever toss anything), and being the sole reason for this blog and my MisFit shop in the first place, I just had to use them. So I got out my spool of Sterling Silver wire, my pliers and accoutrements, and I started to play.....

Out of the depths of the spool she came: Squirrely Girlie was born.

See her listed at MisFits....now (psst, she sits right next the the other newcomer: Sneaky Little Devils)
