One Woman. One Laser. A Whole Lotta Earrings

Welcome to Teal and Thyme — where earrings aren’t just accessories, they’re personality statements. I’m Dana, the laser-cutting, chicken-loving creative behind every quirky design you see here.

I started this journey out of a love for earrings and a hunger to let my personality shine through. I’m obsessed with cute, silly, and downright unexpected designs — earrings that make you stop, stare, and get complimented wherever you go. Whether you’re crafting for fun or selling your own pieces, I want you to feel seen, confident, and proud every time you wear or create with my files.

My days? Oh, they’re pure chaos — a whirlwind of caring for my chicken and turkey babies, winging it through design sessions, testing cuts, and painting, all while navigating life with Tourette’s, epilepsy, and ADHD. It’s messy, unpredictable, but it’s mine — and it fuels the unique vibe of Teal and Thyme.

What drives me? The freedom to work from home, the joy of making people smile, and the thrill of seeing my designs come to life on happy customers. I want my shop to be the first place fellow earring lovers think of when they want fun, fresh earring files — a place they keep coming back to for new drops and good vibes.

My dream? For Teal and Thyme to be THE go-to spot for fun, fresh earring files — the place people search for first, remember forever, and return to again and again. I want to build something stable and successful, something that not only supports my family but brings a little extra joy and sass into the world.

Thanks for stopping by. Let’s make something awesome together.
