I can finally show you this necklace with the names of my 4 babies on it! ❤️ Just a bit of an update.... I’m currently recovering physically, and mentally from having baby 4. I realize this is mostly a business page but I know so many mamas are on here. I don’t want to pretend I have it all together, especially when PPD and PPA have such a social stigma. So my update on our status for taking orders is two fold: 1.) To update you, but 2.) To also normalize and bring to light that PPD and PPA are real, and that it’s OK to have a conversation about it. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel having had gone through this with my other kids. But know that it’s absolutely ok. I will be taking orders (specifically starting with local ones to ease myself back in) as soon as I can. The exact time frame is something I’m unsure about... I am really hoping in a few weeks, but right now my priority is to get better, so I can be the best mama I can be to my babies...but I promise you I will be back, and I 100% promise that our necklaces are so worth the wait. When I made the decision to not outsource any of the process of making these necklaces, I knew there would come a day when I had the baby that I’d need to put a hold on orders (which also supports my family financially as the main income)... but I don’t ever want to sacrifice the quality of my work, especially because each necklace is hand cut out of sheets, and I have a special way of finishing the bars so that they are completely smooth....I cut them myself because I can use thicker sheets of gold fill and silver, which means a long lasting necklace that will not tarnish like the pre-cut ones may. (Sorry! Can’t spill my trade secrets!) It’s a bit of a sacrifice and my mama/work life balance is being challenged so much more than before. But I rather not take orders, and wait to know that I can give it my 100% so that I can make your necklaces the way that I want it to be made- with attention, with care, and without any outsourcing. ❤️❤️❤️
