Earth Girl Magic's Story

It was the thick of the pandemic and I was in an utter depression. Like many, I had lost my job, my childcare, and essentially, myself. I had been dabbling in retail therapy when I found an Etsy store selling statement earrings. It was a new style for me, but once I put them on, I felt a shift within. I got out of my pajamas, put on some makeup, and did my hair. It was this magical Cinderella moment. Something seemingly so small had made the biggest difference. And I knew instantly I wanted to do this for others. 

I began selling polymer clay earrings on Etsy under "Earth Girl Magic Gifts". I loved being able to create stories behind the designs. As a survivor of domestic violence, it was important that the designs were as meaningful as they were beautiful. It was how the Earthling wearing my designs would feel stepping out into the world. I wanted to send them out with confidence, strength, and the knowledge that someone in this sometimes-cruel world cared greatly about them reclaiming their self-worth. I was able to expand with the help of this wonderful community I found who rallied behind me and never gave up on me. 

I always say I handcraft treasures for fellow survivors of all kinds, no matter their journeys. Whether you've survived domestic violence, sexual assault, mental health battles, chronic illness, cancer, devastating loss or anything that left you broken and traumatized, I want you to know I'm with you. I do what I do because I'm reminding all of us that we are worthy, we are beautiful, and we are powerful. 

Lastly, thank you with all my heart for being here with me. All products are handcrafted with love by me in my home. A proud mom who found the courage to leave life-threatening situation, navigate the tumultuous aftermath, and fought tooth and nail to heal the wounds that linger. 

I hope you find the magic again like I have. I promise anything is possible if you believe. And in the meantime, I'm here to remind you.

With the greatest of love,

Courtney Carswell
