When the publicist for Joyo jewelry, a company based nearby in Scituate, Massachusetts, contacted me to see f they could send me a sample, I told them I’d prefer to pass it along to one of you. They were game with the idea of a giveaway.
The designer behind Joyo, Jenn Liddiard, who started the company in 2012, creates wood earrings, necklaces, and bracelets in modern geometric and naturalistic shapes, laser-cut from real walnut and birch. Liddiard laser cuts everything herself, and does all of the design, sanding, oil finishing, and assembly by hand.

Gorgeous earrings!
I run outside a few times a week. We’ve been having lovely weather.
Canoeing on the Charles River – so relaxing, so lovely. THANKS!
Taking my kids to explore the trees and plants at our Arboretum.
Scuba diving! Such fun, right in my figurative backyard.
No matter what the weather, I always try to be outdoors. Remaining rash on my wrists from a brush with poison ivy is the first memorable interaction with nature this summer.
Must knit wrist guards for my next weeding foray… other than my face and neck, my wrists war the only body part exposed. I thought I handled it carefully and showered afterwards. Oh, well!
I’ve been planting seeds. I have roma tomatoes growing and sunflowers and zinneas!
I’ve been exploring various hikes trails around all summer!
thanks so much!
I pick dandelions with my nieces and nephews and turn them into fairy crowns!

OK! You asked….A 40 minute hike with Esther, every NH morning, to a pool just below stunning cascades. Along the way, and when they are ripe, she eats wild black raspberries, picking them herself. Getting past the sunny patch of the raspberry bushes, we enter the forest, it’s darker with the thick canopy of the trees. Greens and browns. Ferns and moss. I search for the amazing colors of mushrooms in the low light. Oranges, reds, bright white, even turquoise, bizarrely vibrant colors illuminated by speckles of sunlight through the trees and juxtaposed against the browns and deep greens of the forest. When we reach the pool, I throw sticks for her into the water and the sunlight illuminates the rich copper color of the water and the lush green of the moss on the rocks. She comes out of the water and shakes, the water flying and shining off her in the bits of sun that make it through the trees. And I think, I am so lucky to do this walk every day. Yep. I’m goofy. It is my little bit of zen in the midst of a summer of Camp Mom.
Truly gorgeous jewelry! Very stylish and chic for casual or dress! Love the design!
I raised three chickens!
I shooed away some pigeons that were eating food someone had put out for the feral cats in my neighborhood.
I don’t even wear jewelry (though the earrings are lovely), but your prompt made me realize that that is the closest to nature I’ve gotten this summer.
Lots of nature this summer, fortunately. Rhode Island beach walks, trips to many area parks with the kiddo to play in water features, growing tomatoes, peppers, carrots, kale, romaine, squash and herbs, feeding friend’s chickens, Charles River walks…and there’s still time to fit in more too- even better!
I planted a new herb garden.
I have gone on a lot of hikes over the past few weeks. I love it because I love exploring and at the same time it is an easy way to excercise!
I love these earrings! My sister in law has a pair and I’ve been coveting them all summer! So excited to see them here.
I’ve spent my summer on Martha’s Vineyard, running trails, doing yoga outside, tending to my moms garden with the kids. I’ve also enjoyed many a gin and tonic at the end of the day, sitting outside and marveling at the gorgeous summer light – that counts, right?
