a little word from the artist, Tami, herself:

Hi, my name is Tami Cicale and I own and operate two Etsy shops- September Willow and Paige and Penelope. I am married with two boys, 15 and 5, and work full time as a police officer for a large metropolitan department. I also teach police report writing seasonally at our local community college. Though I am very busy, I absolutely love creating jewelry and hair pieces for my Etsy shops. It gives me the balance that I crave after dealing with work and students all day. I usually can be found late at night after the house is settled and quiet working in my dining room on my latest pieces. I love supporting homemade, individual artists, and endlessly browsing though one great shop after another on Etsy. My style has evolved and continues to change. I make what moves me, whether its using crystals, stones, beads, or metal. I especially love mixing it up and using materials together that you wouldn't typically think would work. 

When I am not working, I enjoy reading, trying new recipes that I have found on Pinterest, blogging, catching up on my missed episodes of True Blood (it's an addiction!) and most importantly, spending time with my family. My husband is also a police officer and works three K9 dogs so we sneak in time together whenever possible.

Though life can be hectic at time, I believe that you can make your own happiness- wake up and decide that you are going to follow your passion no matter how bumpy (or busy) the road may be. 

Take care and would love to see you around, Tami.
