Note to self: next year, attend the I Made It Market either without the kids, or with Sean…probably with Sean because he would have loved the items there…

Other note: Shop for myself!

Silver Lining Designs jewelry is made by my friend, Dawn, and since her spirit and positive energy is mixed into her custom pieces, it makes her pieces even more desirable for me… I look forward to buying one of her custom kits and having the kids put their fingerprints into the silver, then fired…

I’m thankful for the love put into all the handmade pieces at the market!

Here is Theo at his favorite booth… handmade toys by Mama Made Them… Santa definitely took notice.

The ring is my grandmother’s engagement ring and I’m thankful that she gave it to me so I can enjoy while I still see her so often…

It fits perfectly, and with all jewelry that is passed down from generations, it carries its own history….and strength….and courage….of times before….I’m thankful for being its owner and I’m more thankful for the time I get to spend with my Bebe…

I don’t wear that much jewelry, but the pieces I do have, I really love…

It is an intention of mine to acquire more pieces that I really love, that are of good quality and made with love!
