Hi, my name is Anne and I am the designer/maker behind WithLoveFromOC.

Here are 5 fun facts about me:
1. I am a huge Disney fan. I even got engaged and married at Disneyland!
2. My husband and I have been going to Comic-Con in San Diego every year for the past 9 years…it’s crazier than you could even imagine!
3. I LOVE the ocean and visit the beach almost every week. When I’m not working, I’m at the beach.
4. My favorite TV shows are The Simpsons and Futurama and I’ve met the creator Matt Groening more times than I can count.
5. Reggae music is my absolute favorite and I listen to it everyday. It makes me feel like I’m relaxing at the beach even while I’m working.

I started this Etsy shop for my two nieces who are the loves of my life. I wanted to be able to make them really cute necklaces that reminded them of their favorite stories. When I came up with my very first design I spent a lot of time thinking about what they would love to wear and what I would love to wear too. I wanted to make sure that any girl at any age would feel excited and proud to wear a WithLoveFromOC design.

I design and make everything myself in Orange County, California. I have more ideas waiting to be created than I have time to create. I think I have every color of Swarovski crystal that has ever been made and love using them to add color and sparkle to my designs. I have a lot of fun coming up with custom designs for customers. Some of my most favorite designs have been custom pieces that I loved so much I added to my shop. “I’ve got a dream” was for someone who was Disney bounding, “until the last petal falls” was for a girl in the UK, my “snowman” set was for two best friends in Australia, and “sea witch” was secretly for me.

I’ve grown a huge following on Facebook and I love that I have fans ordering from all over the world. It's exciting to see how over a year my shop, which started out as something fun for my nieces, has grown so much.
