Butterfly Fairy Hair Clips

Queen Darlene - October 24, 2018 - Birthday, Christmas, Gifts for Me, Mother's Day, Wedding

I love handmade gifts. I remember watching my mother create beautiful gifts from vintage jewelry.

My mother and I would also help each other handcraft unique gift ideas waaay before Etsy ever came along. Mom would have loved Etsy.com where you can shop for anything made by creative people everywhere and where she could have shared her gifts too!

When an Etsy email pops up, I’m always curious to see who created what. Oh my… what a find this time. Butterflies! They are exquisite!

Wild and Free Jewelry created by Corina Alulquoy Brown are inspired by the ocean, wildlife, and Native American culture. You have to look at her website!

My favorites are the beautifully handcrafted butterfly hair clips by Corina.

“You Raise the Bar” Meaningful Gift

Princess Diana - October 10, 2018 - Birthday, Business, Congratulations, Gifts for Him, Graduation

There are gifts that make you happy, and there are gifts that feed your soul because they are deeply meaningful.

Queen Darlene gave me the most thoughtful birthday present this year.

She gave me a necklace with a silver bar with my initial “d” cut out of it. It was cute by itself, but let me tell you about the meaningful, heartful part…

In the card, she wrote to me:

You’ve Always Raised the Bar

“Diana, You’ve always raised the bar! And, no one can come close when you set your mind on whatever you choose to do! You are your own kind of incredible and that’s something to celebrate my precious friend!”
