About Us

My name is Louise Hunter Burton, and I sell handmade jewelry on Etsy.com at Hunter Craft Studio. I recently added a line of jewelry-making supplies for other designers. Before I started my shop, I worked at the Chicago Tribune in the Entertainment Department, writing about art and music events.

I started this blog, Design Hunter’s Journal, to share the amazing artisan finds I kept discovering while exploring Etsy and other sites for inspiration. Gift ideas will be a major focus of this blog, so come here when you are stumped for what to buy!

I will also get out and explore the artisan boutiques and craft shows of the Chicago area, and profile some talented makers you might be interested in knowing about.
