Precious Memories

Turn your son's or daughter's love note into a treasured keepsake. My favorite little note from my daughter has been hanging on my refrigerator for 15 years! It has faded so much that I could barely make out the message, but I still didn't have the heart to throw it away. I captured her writing, along with my son's signature and a drawing of himself, on this sterling silver ring. Now it has become a precious go-to accessory!

What a treat to find this in my inbox from a lovely client wearing my Serenity Prayer Wrap Ring:

I love the ring! Thanks so much!!

All Shall Be Well

I know I haven't posted in awhile, but when I received this email from a special customer I knew I wanted to share her touching message (with her permission):

Hi, Donna. I just wanted to give you an update on the "All Shall Be Well" ring that you made for me last year. It was a source of great comfort to me during some VERY hard times in my life. Happily, things have started to level out for me. Last week, one of my good friends discovered that she has breast cancer. On her Facebook status, she used the "All Shall Be Well" quote and said that it was her new mantra. I knew instantly that it was time to pass your beautiful ring on to her. She has some hard times ahead of her and I knew that it would bring her as much solace as it did for me. I gave it to her yesterday and she loved it. I told her that when she no longer needs it, to pass it on to someone who does. I wonder how many hands it will pass through. Because my friend's hands are smaller than mine, she has put it on a chain around her neck so that she can spin it. :)Just thought that you would like to know that your ring has passed on to its next chapter. Perhaps you can put something like this on one of your lists and other people will do this also.Thank you so much for the lovely work that you did. Hope that all is well with you. :)

I love that this ring is well used and I hope that it's message serves as a constant positive reminder to anyone wearing the ring.

I wish her friend good health.
