with much gratitude...

today was the day...i made my 50th sale on etsy!  yeah!!!  i know to some etsians that this is an insignificant number as many shops have thousands and even tens of thousands sales.   well to this etsian, it is a big deal.  people from around the globe are now connected to me through my little bits of silver that is shaped and hammered by my own hands.  i have helped them celebrate life's milestones and memorialize those who left them too soon.  i have been forever touched by all of these people who found my little shop in the ginormous etsy world.  i cherish the stories that people share with me about the meaning behind the pieces i create for them...weddings, adoptions, births, graduations...or something "just because".  i have shipped my wares to hong kong, france, and canada, as well as coast to coast right here in the united states, and in that process, am now on first name basis with my friendly postal workers.  i am forever grateful to all of my customers, past, present and future.  i look forward to creating more pieces to share and as always, i must say...wear it in health and happiness.

peace,
k

i want to go om...

i know it has been quite awhile since i last posted.  i have been taking care of my mother-in-law in florida.  it is where i need to be right now, but i miss my family and my puppies tremendously.  i made this new om right before i left.  i have been wearing it everyday for it reminds me to breathe as i am continuously challenged by that virtue called "patience".  just breathe...


nameste,
