Meenoo Mishra was in need of a hobby, something to do with her hands - and the result is something absolutely beautiful. She creates handmade jewelry, inspired by Indian and global myths, legends, folklore, and nature. I loved chatting with Meenoo about her passion! We talk moonstone, fairy tales, Roman glass, Art Nouveau, broken jewelry, red carpet designs, and so much more. So find out why Meenoo loves making jewelry - and why you might learn to love it, too!

Episode 59: Rare Books with Allie Alvis

Welp everyone, I’m fixing a sign outside my door for a little bit that says “Gone Fishin’”. It’s time to take a little hiatus from Love What You Love. I started the podcast two years ago, and it has brought so much joy into my life - and hopefully into yours, too. &nbsp;ut it does take a lot of time and effort, and while I love it and it’s so meaningful to me, I have to admit: I’m tired.&nbsp; &nbsp;Because I do everything myself - finding guests, scheduling, interviewing, editing, promotion, the whole shebang - it’s a little bit like a second job. A second job that I have to pay to do. So for the time being, I’m on a hiatus. In the meantime, you can check out the back catalog of 59 episodes of Love What You Love. I’m really hoping to be back in the summer after I’ve had a chance to rest and recuperate, and attend to some stuff going on in my life. Until then, stay well, stay hopeful, and keep on loving what you love. See you soon! &nbsp; &nbsp; Need transcripts?
