A favorite piece of mine, found a new home this past weekend. I realize that for me, this is one of the greatest blessings of selling my work - knowing that it goes to just the "right" person. I don't always get to see where they go or to whom they are for, but I do believe that every piece is made for someone in particular, and sometimes it takes awhile for that person and the piece to find one another. Once it does happen though, the connection seems quite obvious to me. A dear friend bought this necklace for a family member that has had a really rough year and is in the process of re-centering and re-defining herself and a fresh new life. I know my friend chose this with such care and deep love, and as I watched her make her choice, I knew just how much this was meant for her loved one. This piece is is all about finding a place of peace in the center of one's being. It includes semi-precious stones, and of course silver and glass. In particular there is a circle - symbol of perfection and completeness or wholeness, and a heart for perfect and unconditional love. Knowing the story of my friend and her family member, I am both thrilled that this is the new home it is going to and it makes perfect sense to me now that this is whom the piece was made for. I just love when that happens.
