like when a man-child comes to you the night before his mom's birthday wanting something special for her to demonstrate his love... i have known this child since he was 5...
and giving him that with a special message -
on the edge of the top i stamped 'happy birthday with love xoxo'
and made these as well...
sweetness and light. that is what my minds' eye is seeing through this post. thank you for giving me a glimpse into your thought processes maire.

thanks for sharing this post..good reminder..
ReplyDeleteand i love all these new things..the birthday present is devine..and of course the earrings fabulous.
I always come by here and am refreshed by the words of wisdom. Such beautiful, soulful pieces. I am especially smitten with the birthday piece. I think mostly because of the thoughtfulness of this special 'boy' and how you translated his with into a treasure.

ReplyDeleteI remember about 6 years ago sitting on the living room floor with my grandson on the weekend before his mom's birthday. Could we make his mom a gift? He got out my semi precious chips and tools. He wanted to make a memory wire bracelet for her, all by himself, but I could help when he needed me to. It was one of many special times we have shared.
Your young friend will always have fond memories of you. And....this is a "gift" that you will be grateful to have given.
We think deep, don't we ~lol~
