Sorry it's been a while since I've blogged. It's a crazy madhouse as usual. I delivered some special jewelry to a customer today and had a nice visit with her. She shared a special story with me not realizing that I was a part of it until she finished. Just before Christmas, a BIAB customer, Janie, asked me to create something for her daughter, Sophie, using some jewelry that originally belonged to Grandmother Sophie. (Follow me here :-> ) Janie has a lot of siblings, like 8 or so - she contacted them all requesting a special memory they had of their Grandmother Sophie. Janie compiled all these little memories after taking a walk down memory lane herself, and included them with the jewelry that I had created for her. This now became Janie's daughter, Sophie's, Christmas present which is a memorial to Grandmother Sophie. What makes this incredibly special is that Sophie was named after Grandmother Sophie but who she never had the opportunity to meet. But now with this special jewelry and time capsule of memories from her aunts and uncles, Sophie will always have a piece of Grandmother Sophie.
This is an incredibly special way to preserve special jewelry handed down from generation to generation.
Do you have some special jewelry at home taking up residency in your jewelry box, maybe gathering dust? Why not ask the Beads in a Box designers to create several pieces from the original to share with daughters, grandaughters, etc.? We'd be happy to do it.
Seize the moment! What a special momento to share with the women in your family. This is a great idea when there are multiple females in a family.
Tootles for now, Kyla
