A little about this beautiful stone....................

Larimar is a rare blue Pectolite that can only be found from the Dominican Republic. Also known as the Dolphin Stone, this beautiful turquoise blue-ish colored mineral is loved for its water-like appearance so characteristic of the Caribbean. Blue Pectolite is said to bring clarity and peace to its user, and remove self imposed blockages.

We´re always striving to improve and plan to expand our collection very soon - so stay tuned. Have fun shopping our amazing beaded jewelry pieces.

This Larimar bracelet is perfect for everyday wear. Remember not to expose any bracelet to any alcohol based products.

Mother's Day

Do you celebrate.  Or do you maybe honor a Mother that has passed.  We do the honor thing because both of our Mothers have passed.  I always enjoyed Mother's Day because we would sometimes venture out for a big meal at a fancy restaurant.  And on the drive to our destination I would remember all the flowers that had popped up along the way.  And then arrival at the restaurant the flowers were always in abundance on the tables.  So Mother's 
Day is a fond memory of spending time with my Momma and a reminder that it's spring.  

We always got our Momma something special for Mother's Day but I know her fondness for cards.  She loved getting cards from her girls.

I found a great shop on Etsy by a terrific artist. She makes the sweetest cards.  Go take a look  here

Now maybe you might find that smell good stuff suits your Mothers taste.
Check out this shop here  or here  or here.

I am not a Mom but boy I would enjoy any or all of the above.    


 If I run across any more ideas I'll be happy to share.
