Meet the Maker


I’m Barbara — a Western storyteller, maker, and singer with a love for grit, grace, and a bit - okay a lot - of Cowgirl sass. From handmade goods to my blog, podcast, and YouTube channel, this is where faith and creativity come together.

Gift Boxes & Handmade Finds

Every piece I create or curate is about more than the item — it’s about the story behind it. And boy howdy, do I have some stories. From gift boxes to handcrafted goods, I believe beauty shows up in the grit. There are pearls in here, y’all.

🎙️ From the Studio

When the stories spill over, I grab a mic instead of a keyboard.

Catch me on No Grit No Pearl, my radio-style mix of humor, grit, and faith, plus, the Slow Down Sunday series for those quieter, coffee-sipping mornings.

You’ll find both on YouTube and your favorite podcast platforms — and trust me, it’s never boring out here where the Wi-Fi’s weak but the hearts are strong.
