about me

Hello! I'm Annie Hunt. I'm a wife, mother, daughter, sister, godmother, friend and artist. I have always had a creative spirit and a deep-rooted faith. Growing up, my Catholic Faith was a part of my everyday life, including weekly Mass and Catholic high school. With a solid foundation of faith, education and love, I attended the University of Kansas and majored in Fine Arts with an emphasis in Graphic Design. As I went to work and my career developed, I had a deep, spiritual desire calling me for something more. Always finding some sort of artistic outlet for my creativity, I began making jewelry, which led me to making rosaries. Making my first rosary, I remember the overwhelming sense of peace, excitement, love and pure joy that came over me. I knew that I had tapped into a God-given talent. Years later, a great friend of mine taught me how to knit. Again, I was filled with the same feeling that I was using a gift God had given me.  

I began nurturing these talents in my free time, making gifts for family and friends. I heard time and again, "you need to sell what you make!" And as life happened, I found myself with just enough time to hone my skills and talents and not enough time to translate them into a business. I met and married the most wonderful man in the world, and after years of praying for the gift of children, we were blessed with two, happy and talented sons. I left my graphic design career to be a stay-at-home mom and nine years later, here I am.  

During these most precious times of raising our family, I have had the support and encouragement of my husband to pursue my creative journey of rosary making, jewelry design, knitting, painting, and photography. I am so excited and blessed beyond measure to share the passion for my faith with you through each item I create! I love that what I make helps to spread the gift of prayer, faith and love throughout our community!

I have always loved fashion and accessorizing! Knowing the art of jewelry making and knitting, I've been lucky and have had so much fun creating new designs which reflect my style and my faith. At Loop & Bauble I am able to bring my designs to you – sophisticated and beautiful faith-based jewelry and rosaries, and more! All items on my website are made by hand right here in the USA by yours truly! I source quality materials such as natural stone beads, lovely Czech glass beads, and Italian-made centerpieces and crucifixes for my rosaries and faith-based jewelry. I absolutely love what I do and am thankful to God for my creative talent. Faithfully creating my jewelry and rosaries brings me an incredible sense of peace and joy… and my hope is that this same sense peace and joy is received through each Loop & Bauble creation.
