Get Hammered! handmade hammered jewelry by Freshie & Zero

About Me



Hello. My name is Beth but most folks call me "Freshie". I make hammered jewelry by the name of Freshie & Zero and you can buy it .. at etsy , or you may purchase directly from my website . If you would like to see it in person, please visit my stores page on my website to see if I'm in a shop near you! If you're in the Southeast, check out my events page - I'm at craft shows all the time!
I'm a big fan of all things paper - especially notebooks and letterpressed cards. I love walking to Whole Foods, Law & Order marathons, networking with crafty people, and traveling with my husband and trying new beers & restaurants. I hate cigarettes, cancer, and fast food. I am leery of facebook and am trying not to drink their kool-aid.
Below is a link to my website - you should go there. Like right now. And buy some jewelry. You need some. Your friends need some. Your girlfriend needs some. They're practically begging for necklaces and earrings... I'm just saying... www.freshieandzero.com
