after months of  being patient

and birthday love from family

[thank you brother Colt, and grandma Pat]

the precious necklace arrived!

When you buy something handmade, you are supporting a direct person and their creativity.

The elements of the packaging remind you that a person put this together with their hands.

A simple concept, but something rare for what we often wear and buy as consumers.

It was handcrafted.

This necklace was made by Jean Balke of Nallik Jewerly.

You can see her work here.

I am in love.

Dang.
