A Little Sunshine from Pinners: Why I Fell in Love with Sunshine Clay Designs

You all know how much I love supporting small businesses. There’s just something special about meeting the person behind the product — hearing their story, seeing their passion, and knowing that what you’re bringing home was made with two hands and a whole lot of heart.
That’s exactly what happened when I walked into the Arizona Pinners Conference and stumbled across Christina’s booth.
And let me tell you… I’m so glad I did. ☀️

The Cutest Clay Earrings
Christina is the creative force behind Sunshine Clay Designs, a handmade jewelry brand right here in Arizona. From the moment I saw her display, I knew I was in trouble — the good kind of trouble.
Cupid cars.
Floral hearts.
Sweet little love-themed pieces that feel playful but still beautifully made.
They weren’t just earrings — they felt like tiny pieces of joy.
Each pair is handmade, lightweight, and thoughtfully designed. And if you know me, you know I appreciate something that looks adorable and doesn’t pull on your ears by lunchtime. 😉

It’s Not Just Jewelry — It’s Connection
Here’s what I’ve learned over the years: when you buy from a small business, you’re not just buying a product.
You’re buying someone’s dream.
Christina packages each order with such care. A handwritten “Thank you” on the bright yellow bag. A little sunshine logo that feels like it’s radiating happiness. You can tell she genuinely appreciates every single customer.
That matters.
In a world where it’s so easy to click “add to cart” from a giant warehouse somewhere, there’s something beautiful about knowing the person who created what you’re wearing.
And I think we need more of that.

Handmade in Arizona ☀️
Sunshine Clay Designs is proudly handmade in Arizona, and you can feel that desert warmth in every piece. There’s a cheerful, southwest-inspired charm that makes the designs feel both trendy and timeless.
Whether you love bold seasonal pieces (hello, Valentine’s cuteness ❤️) or everyday neutrals with texture and detail, Christina has something for you.
And the best part? You’re supporting a woman-owned small business that pours love into every creation.

Why I’ll Always Choose Small
Here’s the truth: I’ll always choose the booth at the market. The table at the craft fair. The smiling maker behind the display.
Because when you support small, you support families. You support creativity. You support courage.
And sometimes… you walk away with the cutest earrings you’ve ever seen.
If you’re looking for handmade clay earrings that bring a little sunshine to your day, I encourage you to check out Sunshine Clay Designs.
You just might find your new favorite pair.




Love the earrings and so true about small businesses.
