A Passion for What I Do

Every journey begins with a story. Mine is built on passion, creativity, and the desire to create something meaningful. This space reflects who I am, what I do, and the values that guide my work.
The Beginning

Where It All Started

Blue June Outfitters began in 2013 as a small Etsy shop called The Rustic Cellar. At the time, I was simply looking for a creative outlet and a way to share the jewelry I was making by hand. What started as a hobby quickly grew into something much bigger.

Over the years, I’ve spent countless hours refining my jewelry-making skills, connecting with my community, and learning what my customers truly love. Along the way, my style naturally evolved into what you’ll see today—a blend of witchy, bohemian, and nature-inspired pieces designed for people who appreciate individuality and a little everyday magic.

As the brand grew, it felt right to grow the name too. That’s how Blue June Outfitters was born.

Behind the Brand

Running Blue June Outfitters

Today, Blue June Outfitters is my full-time, independently run business. I wear every hat—from designing and handcrafting jewelry to customer service, inventory management, photography, website design, social media, and vending at local events. If you’ve interacted with the brand in any way, chances are it was me behind the scenes making it happen.

What Blue June Outfitters Stands For

Creativity, Authenticity & Personal Style

While many of the pieces you’ll find here are handmade by me, I also carefully curate select items from trusted suppliers. This allows me to offer a more complete shopping experience while still staying true to the aesthetic and values of the brand.
At the heart of it all, Blue June Outfitters is about creativity, authenticity, and celebrating personal style—whether that means a pair of handcrafted earrings, a graphic tee, or something that simply feels a little bit like you.

Thanks for being here and supporting a small, independent business. ✨
