About Us
Hello! My name is Victoria Hayes, and I am the owner and creator of The Hidden Jewel. I have been an avid reader all of my life, and have had many jobs, but none that I truly loved and wanted to turn into a career. This all changed when I got a job at an incredible mobile bookstore and completely fell in love. I started to imagine my life surrounded by books and decided it was time for me to take a leap and open my own business. I am starting with doing pop-ups, and can't wait to see what the future holds. I specialize in creating sparkling, bedazzled books and produce custom orders. Come shop with me and, Welcome to the Hidden Jewel!
"The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels."- Hazrat Inayat Khan
While jewels are often associated with wealth and status, they can also symbolize something more tangible and valuable - a person's human experience. The true value of a person's life lies in their relationships that they nurture and the experiences they share. The truly meaningful treasures in life can be found in the love, support, and bonds we share with others.
Reading is more than just opening a book and finishing chapters. It is a journey of discovery of different times, worlds, and of ourselves. It can be a calming activity to reduce stress and anxiety, engage the different parts of our brain, and provide a temporary escape from the daily worries and allow us to explore different worlds and perspectives. It can deeply connect us with ourselves, family and fellow book lovers. Come and join me in finding and exploring the hidden jewels of reading, one book at a time!
