Meet Your Leetie Lovendale Team!

Heather DeSimone

Heather DeSimone is the founder & designer at Leetie Lovendale. After owning a bead store for over 20 years, Heather wanted to get back to her jewelry making roots, and started a line of finished jewelry using her favorite materials: vintage plastics. The jewelry that is available now from Leetie, Heather envisioned as being sustainable and with the hope of making vintage things look new again. She has taught jewelry-making classes, and even has published a book! If you know Heather (virtually or in person;)) she is one of the most hardworking people you will ever know.

A Maine native, Heather currently resides in Arizona along with her husband of 20 years Chris, her two sons Max and Alex, dog Lola and a handful of feral cats. She loves to troll antique shops & 'look for vintage treasures' and dabbles in yoga and riding her smart bike.

Jan Parker

Jan is the mother of the founder, Heather, so she is the most important member of our crew. (She wrote this). She is married to her high school sweetheart since forever (aww), born and raised in the state of Maine. But, 64 years of Maine winters, then springs “mud season” were enough to send she and her husband packing to sunny Arizona for retirement where the kids and their families had already escaped. "Reggie and I have two lovely girls and 4 wonderful grandkids along with our dog Sami who we adopted a year ago." She is a homebody, but likes to travel on shorter trips. One of her favorites, is haunted Jerome, AZ. She and her husband have always loved historic places, and this small part of Arizona reminds her of her home state with the New England architecture.

Before moving to Arizona, the mother and daughter dynamic duo owned The Beadin' Path in Maine together for over 20 years. Now, she works part time behind the scenes at Leetie on the Amazon and CommentSold platforms to bring you all the Leetie beauties you know and love. If you have recently watched our Live Sample Sales, she has made some memorable appearances! Make sure to say Hi next time she pops on!
