About Grab Bag Botany

Welcome to the Grab Bag Botany Store! My name is Jackie, and I am a nature enthusiast, wanderer, and lover of life. When I was a child, my dad would take my brother and I into the woods to “shop” for unique plants and flowers in what he called the “Grab Bag Botany Store.” Nostalgia led me to choose the perfect name for my shop! I now forage in the "Grab Bag Botany Store" often with my very own daughter. As part of a yoga teacher training I completed in 2019, we were required to bring in an art project related to the topic of the week. For my second chakra project (think “change” as a theme), I picked my favorite changing leaves from the New England autumn forest and preserved them in resin. From there, I was hooked! I then created crystal point pieces embedded with healing stones for the subsequent chakra projects, and now I have found a passion for botanical jewelry! Grab Bag Botany pieces help the wearer connect with nature on a daily basis, even if you are at work enclosed by four walls or on a walk with your friends. Each necklace or earring is a good reminder of the natural world during those moments when you cannot experience it in person. Use our pieces as your daily reminder of what matters or send to a loved one with a personalized note the wearer will remember forever. If you are in the market for handmade botanical jewelry or unique home decor art pieces, this is the shop for you! I craft every piece with intention and love to inspire and uplift each recipient.Read their story
