About us

Hi, I’m Shannon — a nurse, a friend, a proud cat mom, and now a small business owner.

The Velvet Paw Collection was inspired by my two black kitties, Boo and Nova, and the bit of magic they bring into my life. They make me feel just a touch witchy, and that feeling is woven into everything I create.

I call it a “collection” because this space is a mix of all the things I love — from beautiful, high-quality crystals to art like affirmation card decks designed to feel like a gentle virtual hug when you need it most.

I began my crystal journey in 2024 and quickly fell in love with the beauty and wonder of what the earth can create over time. I’m especially drawn to rare and gemmy pieces, and anything with rainbows or sparkle.

Being able to handpick crystals for the shop is truly a dream come true, and I’m so excited to share that joy — and a little bit of magic — with you.
