"My husband and I have been married for almost 15 years. He’s never been the best gift-giver. Yes, I have received appliances and yes, I have received football game tickets. Imagine my surprise when last Christmas morning, I see a gorgeously wrapped present, complete with hand-tied bow, with my name on it. Inside was a pair of sparkly, big diamond earrings. Who knows what got into him that Christmas, but it’s one of my best memories. I was surprised, and how often does that genuinely happen in life? I decided to have a pendant made with the wrapping paper he used for the gift. It was a beautiful gold floral pattern and it reminds me of that morning, my husband, and how wonderful it is to be surprised every time I wear it. And it looks fabulous with those earrings." That’s a story from my friend Anne. I’d love to make something special for you too.

Honeymoon in San Francisco? Recent girls trip to the Big Apple? Grow up in Frognot, Texas? Have family in Passamaquaddi, Maine? Pick your place and have it made into a wearable memento. I can use map pieces (which I would be happy to help you find), or any scrap of paper or paper souvenir (wedding invitation, brochure, advertisement, etc) that reminds you of that special place.

Another special way to show your Flair is through photographs. I can take a photograph—whether a recent image of your darling daughter Delilah or a vintage image of your great-grandmother Gladys—and make it into a wearable keepsake. These items also make perfect gifts for new mothers and grandmothers.

Have a weakness for wine, martinis, or champagne? Do you live green, love animals, or have a strong faith? Does a flower, symbol, word, or color mean something special to you? All of these can show your own unique Flair, and if you don’t see a piece that shows yours, I would love to help you find it.
