About Me

I’m all about the mountains.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. John Muir

The mountains inspire me

Why this adventure into a web store, what’s it all about? I have always created things, through fiber, beads, fabric, almost anything I could get my hands on.  Eventually I narrowed my choice of materials down and focused.  I was part of a gallery in Idaho Springs when my eldest was very young and then my husband and I bought our own business, the Mount Elbert Lodge.  We operated it for nearly 24 years and while there Mt Elbert Designs emerged.  I sold through the lodge store and the Shooting Star Gallery in Twin Lakes.

Now, we’ve sold the lodge and retired  and  Mt Elbert Designs became a business without a home…. till now. Welcome to my store, I hope you will look around and return whenever you need a special gift.  Enjoy!, 

My Team:

Sisters and friends, we work together to have fun bringing you fun creations.

Main Creator
Let's have fun! I've created with fiber all my life and started exploring making bead jewelry as a way to encourage visual creativity in my boys. Well, as usually happens as one offers a pallet of opportunities to one’s children, it wasn't the boys cup of tea but I was hooked!!
That was more than 15 years ago when I started selling my fiber and bead treasures in our business office and then in the Shooting Star Gallery, a seasonal gallery in the village of Twin Lakes Colorado. Now , as life changes I still want to share my creations with you. I do hope you enjoy my shop and will let me know if you have any questions about any of my products.

Thank you for your interest.
