Title: Wonderful gifts
Post by: Susan on September 23, 2007, 10:19:11 PM
My mom decided to give me a gift of some feminine jewelry that she hand made. The first female gift she ever gave me! She gave me 3 bracelets, and 2 necklaces. I gave her the earrings back as my ears are hypersensitive to anything but gold. She then suggested I get some gold hoops to wear with it! This is a big step forward. I am actually looking forward to Christmas this year to see if this is the beginning of a family trend.

Here's what she gave me tonight...

If you would like to order some jewelry from her, her name is Betty, and  the address to her web site is http://www.twosistersonlineart.com/. She creates custom designs on request.

Oh Marvelous.  Your mum seems very talented :)  Does she ship outside the States?  I'd love a necklace similar to your piccie.  Real Peals?  Either way, it's beautiful.

It's possible she would consider international shipping. You would need to contact her (nana8236@compu.net) and ask her. She would likely require both the item and it's shipping to be prepaid. Materials vary depending on what the person wants. The necklace and bracelets she gave me were glass bead but very pretty none the less.

Glass or pearls, these are beautiful treasures, made priceless by the fact that your mom made them.  What a wonderful tradition, Susan!

The validation and acceptance these kinds of gifts bring us are just amazing, aren't they?  Spouse gave me a simple locket for my birthday and it's the best thing she's ever given to me, after her self.  It made me so happy I wept.

The entire set is very beautiful, Susan, and I'll bet they could have been made of paper clips and driveway pebbles and they still would have meant as much to you as these.

What a beautiful gift.   It took my mom a long while to give me a female gift as well, but afterwards, things became much easier between us.  I have a feeling that it is going to work out the same for you. :)   I was checking out her website and wow, I'm in awe.  I loved the paintings and the jewelry naturally.

Very pretty.  The largest beads look like akoya pearls.  Very detailed work.  Jeannette asked what I wanted to know next.  Thanks for sharing the piccies.
