The saying kinda goes, "Jackie of all trades, mastress of none," and I relate to this, except I try to be good at everything I put my heart into. I also don't view wearing many hats as a bad thing.
Sampling much of life's bounties has gifted me an unconventional life rich with reward, contrast, adventure and texture.
I've lived far and wide, hard and fast, even slow and steady. And because of my non-traditional lifestyle choices, I have lived fully and continue to do so in the mountains and pines of beautiful and diverse Arizona, USA.
Welcome to the ever-evolving pieces of me and the hobbies, interests and side gigs that make my life rich and reward my soul.

Hi!
My name is K-Lee, pronounced Kaylee and I am happy you're here.
What is RIM COUNTRY CHARMS?
Well Rim Country Charms is a feeling, a lifestyle, an aesthetic that some reach for and many wish for. It's a slower, more manageable pace in fresh air, amid rolling hills, in the tall pines and with good neighbors who wave hello as they pass you by on a rural dirt road. It's also the unfolding of my dreams coming true.
From carving out a life that affords time to dedicate to my artistic endeavors to embracing "work" that enriches me and elevates my spirit, Rim Country Charms is my version of Livin The Dream.
Poke about and see samples of my artwork, craftworks and the services I offer in Rim Country. There's also a blog on the way, where names may be changed and accounts could contain factual reporting combined with a questionable modicum of bullshit.
These rambles are best enjoyed with a full-bodied Pinot Noir and an open mind.
I hope you enjoy your time here. Reach out should you see something that needs to decorate your cabin, ranch or vacation home. Get at me if you see some gemstone jewelry that speaks to you or if you have a custom commission piece in mind. Holler if you need my services or just say hello.
If you're interested in small-bite snapshots of my world, join me on Instagram under Rim Country Charms.
You may also fall in love with my adorable rescue hound, a fearful, feral beast we adopted in 2019. She's come a long way and is fun to watch come out of her shell. Find her under username N8TRDOG. <-- This, I assure you has strong entertainment value.
This is "The Infamous Miss Harper". She's a bit of a celebrity but is also a long story for another time. (Come on Blog- Open-Open-Open!)
She is my adventure buddy and rounds out our micro family. We go on many adventures, exploring off road, off trail and off grid whenever possible. My handsome country boy-cum- mountain man and I have family in Phoenix, Tucson and Utah and we presently live "On The Mountain" in Arizona, USA.
We are incredibly fortunate and equally grateful, each and every day we get to enjoy paradise.
