About Me

Hello! My name is Katie Harvell. I am the creative genius behind 504 Freckles Avenue. Well....I can not claim this genius status without acknowledging the many beautiful souls who play significant roles in my life. They are the inspiration and namesakes for my creations....they are My Tribe.

The original soul who sparked all of this is my daughter Madison. As Madison made her way through middle school and high school, anxiety would cripple her at times. As someone who uses essential oils in my everyday life, I suggested to her that we diffuse oils in her room to try and help. She selected a couple oils and began diffusing them on a regular basis in her room. That scent became associated with her room, which she considered her safe space. I soon discovered that lava beads can be used to diffuse oils and decided to make her a bracelet that she could wear anywhere she went. If she ever felt anxious, the scent of the oils on the bracelet could calm her and bring her back to her safe space.

The idea for 504 Freckles Avenue was sparked back in 2011 with my daughter, but I revisited the idea when the world was quarantined and Covid changed everything. I worked in a hospital, so my Covid experience was different than most, but I was inspired by what Covid was creating for those quarantined at home. Just like all of the entrepreneurs who rose from the Covid Quarantine ashes, I decided to add "entrepreneur" to my bio and work on having my very own side hustle.  

I have always been a dreamer, and I realized I had an opportunity to incorporate my creative side with my love of essential oils. I hope that 504 Freckles Avenue is a dream that continues to grow and evolve into something bigger than just a jewelry company. I'm excited to create pieces that not only I am passionate about, but pieces that resonate with you too. I am extremely grateful for all of my Freckle Friends that continue to support this adventure of mine. THANK. YOU!
