Mother's Day Collection
This year, our Mother's Day Collection was inspired by a beautiful little girl named Marguerite, the niece and cousin of sweet friends here in Louisville. (And - by extension - getting to know Marguerite's mom and family in Louisiana has been a joy.) Though Marguerite was diagnosed with a brain tumor (DIPG) as a kindergartener and passed away just over a year ago at age 7, she brought so many people together in hope, love, courage and kindness, and her shining spirit continues to be a light - even for those who never had the joy of meeting her.The name Marguerite means "daisy," fitting since the flower is a cheerful reminder of the beauty that surrounds us and the hope that returns again and again each spring even after the cold of winter. As funding for research and trials are cut, and since May 17th is DIPG Awareness Day, bringing focus to childhood brain cancer, we thought it fitting to honor Marguerite and her loving family with a collection of three different small-batch daisy designs, each offering a portion of proceeds ($20 of each purchase price) to an organization called Tough2gether, founded by a mother who lost her own son to DIPG. With each daisy design, it's lovely to think of Marguerite's legacy and to contribute to helping families facing childhood cancer, offering hope, support, science-backed research, and resources along the way.

Happy Hearts Are Here!
Few things are more fun than an opportunity to combine pink and red, go bonkers with some vintage hearts, and to share the love with you all! For these reasons and more, we love this time of year when our Valentine-inspired designs arrive, often dubbed our Happy Hearts collection. This year is no exception; I've created a small collection of one-of-a-kind Elva necklaces - many with vintage heart elements, others with less super-obvious connections to love and Valentine's Day. There are gummy bears (yes, iridescent gummy bears!) and a nod to the most romantic city in the world (Paris), and even some love bugs in the mix.
For the small-batch portion of the collection, I rounded up some sentimental and fun favorites: from golden lockets (both vintage and new) and some fresh beaded chains to bring color into the picture. I love imagining you all finding some sweet somethings in these happy heart offerings for your favorite gals: sisters, friends, friends who are like sisters, daughters, mamas, maybe even yourself, sharing the love and cheer with ease and style.
Also...though I completely forgot to mention this in the email launch as the collection goes live today (!) I had the MOST fun painting some canvas zip pouches recently, and after adding a vintage ribbon and felt heart pull to each zipper, I decided they must be shared. So - every order of $100 or more for the next two weeks will include one of these happy heart pouches as a thank-you gift. Each is unique and, as with our gems and art around here, made by hand and with love.
Enjoy!
