Sharon Hitchcock, UncommonGoods Buyer – Jewelry & Accessories<\/em><\/center>
\nMy hometown is\u2026<\/strong>
\nHmmm\u2026.well, let\u2019s see, I was born in Manhattan so I guess I am a New Yorker, but I lived in Austin, Texas for 9 years (Hook \u2018em Horns!), and have also resided in Seattle, Washington, DC, and London. Now I call Brooklyn home.<\/p>\n
\n
I\u2019m on the lookout for\u2026\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n

Jewelry and accessories that are beautifully made with thought and care. Pieces and collections that use materials in a distinctly different way, and have a strong point of view.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m inspired by\u2026 <\/strong>
\nPeople-watching in NYC.<\/p>\n

My guilty pleasure is\u2026<\/strong>
\nCan I have two guilty pleasures? ’80s music is a definite. And, flea markets! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE a good flea market.<\/p>\n

An uncommon fact about me\u2026<\/strong>
\nAlthough I have never considered myself to be very musically inclined, I have taught myself to play the ukulele, which I think is the happiest of all instruments.<\/p>\n

My favorite place to eat in New York City is\u2026<\/strong>
\nFor fancy-pants food I love Balthazar<\/a>. I always feel French glam when I go there. To get my Mexican food fix, I head to La Esquina<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My style is\u2026<\/strong>
\nHard to define! After a phase of wearing all black every day, I now embrace colors and patterns. Anything with stripes has been a recent favorite. I also collect vintage jewelry and try to wear something from my collection each day.<\/p>\n

Since working at UncommonGoods I\u2019ve learned\u2026 <\/strong>
\nSo much! I truly do learn something new each day. I love the collaborative environment here, and how supportive the team is of different ideas and points of view.<\/p>\n

With a pile of stuff in front of me I would make\u2026<\/strong>
\n(You\u2019re given paperclips, yarn, cheesecloth, markers, and plastic beads.)<\/em><\/p>\n

I would make a mini, colorful, and fabulous Eiffel Tower sculpture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
