2022 And Beyond

Congratulations!

We’ve all made another trip around the sun and I would like to wish all of you a

Happy New Year!Like many of you, we are facing a year that starts with much uncertainty.

The pandemic continues, but I find myself hoping that this year, even as cases rise as never before, that 2022 will bring an end to this.

I have been thinking a lot about what I want to create and how I can bring more beauty and light to the world and I am hoping that this year I can also bring some laughter, joy and comfort.

One of the things I am most excited for is Project Hope, where we will send out, free of charge, these pendants to those who need a little hope in their life. As part of this project, I am asking that people leave a message of hope or share a personal story of encouragement as a comment on this page.

We will be sending out the link to the page with all pendants we send out.

I ‘hope’ you will participate in leaving a message of hope on the page, and if you are interested in receiving a pendant through this project, sign up for our newsletter. We will be including a form and more information later this month in our next edition.

Happy New Year everyone.

May it be a good one full of love and hope for all!

For 2022: To The Lovers And Dreamers

Use what you have.
