Meet The Maker.
Hello, I’m Shannon, the creative force behind Canterlily. Initially chosen as a business name for my Etsy shop in 2010, Canterlily has grown to hold a special place in my heart. It represents not just my artistic endeavors but also the homestead of my dreams, which I established in 2018.
My home studio nestles within my cozy homestead in the WNY countryside. Being a country girl at heart, I cherish my garden and my small flock of hens and ducks. While I currently don’t have goats, I fondly remember the joy they brought and hope to welcome them back someday.
While I adore horses, nature, kayaking, and camping, I also embrace my “girly girl” side and have a passion for jewelry, fashion, and color!
Metalsmithing: I started crafting metal jewelry in 2012, took a break, dabbled occasionally, and fully resumed in 2023.
Pottery: During my break from metalsmithing I chose to participate in a pottery class alongside my daughters as part of our homeschooling journey, and I soon fell in love with the art of working with clay.
FAQ
SHIPPING: All of my handmade creations are crafted and shipped from Western New York. At the moment, I only offer shipping within the United States. Completed items are shipped within 5 business days using USPS Priority Mail.
RETURNS: Returns are only allowed for warranty-related concerns. If a stone comes loose or you encounter any other issues with the craftsmanship, feel free to contact me.
JEWELRY CARE:
- Keep your jewelry dry by removing it before coming into contact with water. Stones are particularly susceptible as they can absorb moisture through their pores, leading to softening over time.
- Avoid perfumes, lotions, harsh chemicals, tanning creams and moisturizing creams.
- Refrain from engaging in activities that might subject your jewelry to impact or damage.
- Cleaning – Sterling silver and fine silver tend to tarnish over time. To maintain their shine, occasionally wipe them with a simple cloth. Avoid polishing any stones set into jewelry. If you need to clean the stones, gently wipe them with a dampened, soft cloth. If soap is necessary, use a small amount of mild soap. Be sure to dry thoroughly and immediately afterward.
- Store in a dry location. An airtight container works best.
POTTERY CARE:
I exclusively use clays designed for dinnerware. Every pottery item in my shop is food-safe, dishwasher-safe, and microwave-safe. To prolong the life of each piece, handwashing is recommended.
