I was so lucky to visit with one of my most favourite people, Megan Cornwall. Megan is the owner and jewelry maker at Iris & Marnie. Learning all about how her grandmother Marnie fostered her love of jewelry and is the drive behind her style. And thanks to Megan I have rediscovered my love of rings and earrings.To shop online at Iris & Marnie: https://www.irisandmarnie.comFollow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iris.and.marnie/Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/irisandmarniePlease subscribe to be notified when more videos are available.www.youtube.com/@YQGInBloomFollow us on instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/yqg.in.bloom/and our podcast of all episodes are on Spotify, iHeart radio, Apple Podcasts and more.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YQGInBloom
