Join us for the GIFTS FROM THE HEARTLAND TRUNK SHOW from 11:00 - 4:00, featuring the newest Heartland Collection by Laura A. Mena. Meet the artist on Saturday, JUN 20 from 11:00 - 2:00 and enjoy a Mimosa cocktail or mocktail while you shop!

Laura is a world-renowned, published, award-winning jewelry artist and instructor, whose main goal in life is to inspire others. Having taught in faraway places such as Bangkok, Guadalajara or her own backyard, Laura incorporates her passion for design, the joy of inspiring others, and of course, her obsession with crystals. As a previous Swarovski Ambassador, as well as a design member of Beadalon’s design team, she frequently presented their product on Jewelry TV. See You Tube for Laura’s appearances on “Beads, Baubles, and Jewels” from PBS (search Laura Timmons.)

Today, in addition to her jewelry, Laura expands her passions into loom-woven fiber creations and hand-crocheted giftables. Her works all have deep symbolism and “heart,” many of which are heart-themed in nature.

Laura A. Mena is also a children’s book author of the recently published book, If Gratitude Were a Color, It Would Be Turquoise. She has two daughters and her “Grandloves” who inspired her book. She lives in Leawood (and part-time in Breckenridge, CO) with her husband Jim and her mini-Aussies.
