What began as physical therapy for my hand tremors quickly turned into a passion and the start of my shop: Tremors to Treasures. I am a self-taught artisan and I love creating unique jewelry and whimsical beaded spiders while bringing awareness to others about Essential Tremors (ET). ET is a genetic neurological disorder that causes moderate to severe shaking of the hands and can also affect the head and body (which mine does). My father suffered with severe tremors and taught me the importance of patience and perseverance. He assured me that I can make anything with my shaky hands - it just takes me a little longer. Even though my head and hands shake, these tremors do not define me and they will not stop me from doing what I love.
Each month I donate a percentage of my sales to the International Essential Tremor Foundation (essentialtremor.org) to help support research efforts in the treatment of Essential Tremors.
I hope you enjoy the unique creations in my shop as much as I enjoyed making each of these treasures. If you would like something designed just for you, or as a special gift, just send me an email at tremorstotreasures [!at] gmail.com.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Have a wonderful day,
Barbara Peck
