Pet Memorials

Price - varies depending on the materials used.

About these bracelets: Losing a pet is very traumatic. A Pet Memorial bracelet (or necklace) can provide comfort and is a tangible and outward expression of grief we may feel uncomfortable expressing otherwise. This particular example is a bracelet I made for a friend who lost her beloved orange cat. It's hard to read in this picture, but beside the orange cat charm is a charm that says "I love my cat." Most of my pet memorial pieces have an angel dog or cat. You can purchase an already-made memorial piece or I can customize one for that particular person.

"It's no wonder there are so many terms that utilize the word "cat" - the cat's pajamas, let the cat out of the bag, cat got our tongue? Has the nine lives of a cat, like a cat she always lands on her feet. Cats are very special creatures who work their way into more than just our vocabulary, they wriggle right into our hearts! So proudly display your love of cats by wearing this beautiful bracelet. It's as fun and playful as they are!"

Proudly show your love back every time you wear this darling bracelet. It's as cute and playful as a warm puppy!"

About this bookmark: Just like with the jewelry, the photos of our bookmarks don't begin to do them justice. I'm going to try and do a better picture, but in the meantime, this is a very shiny mark with beautiful beads and a darling charm. In fact, we had a custom order and I did two and let the buyer choose which one she wanted. She said it was very difficult not buying both. These bookmarks, regardless of size or shape, do an amazing job of keeping your place. Nothing is more frustrating than to have a beautiful bookmark but it keeps sliding out of the book. It could be the most beautiful mark on the plant, but what good is it if it doesn't work? These work extremely well. Even I was surprised when I first tried one.

This particular example is a bracelet I made for a friend who lost her beloved orange cat. It's hard to read in this picture, but beside the orange cat charm is a charm that says "I love my cat." Most of my pet memorial pieces have an angel dog or cat. You can purchase an already-made memorial piece or I can customize one for that particular person. "It's no wonder there are so many terms that utilize the word "cat" - the cat's pajamas, let the cat out of the bag, cat got our tongue? Has the nine lives of a cat, like a cat she always lands on her feet. Cats are very special creatures who work their way into more than just our vocabulary, they wriggle right into our hearts! So proudly display your love of cats by wearing this beautiful bracelet. It's as fun and playful as they are!"

"When you learn someone is a dog lover, you really don't need to know anything else about them. Dog lovers realize no home is complete without a dog (or two or three or seven!). After all, who else jumps up and down for joy every time you walk through the door, whether you have been gone days, hours, or minutes? Proudly show your love back every time you wear this darling bracelet. It's as cute and playful as a warm puppy!"

Dogs and cats each bring their own brand of joy. Any animal lover will tell you cats and dogs are as different as night and day. But one thing they have in common is their appeal. So if you are a person with both in your life, this bracelet is for you. A home with cats and dogs? Howl purr-fect."

A Good Book & Hot Tea Price - $7.25 About this bookmark: Just like with the jewelry, the photos of our bookmarks don't begin to do them justice. I'm going to try and do a better picture, but in the meantime, this is a very shiny mark with beautiful beads and a darling charm. In fact, we had a custom order and I did two and let the buyer choose which one she wanted. She said it was very difficult not buying both. These bookmarks, regardless of size or shape, do an amazing job of keeping your place. Nothing is more frustrating than to have a beautiful bookmark but it keeps sliding out of the book. It could be the most beautiful mark on the plant, but what good is it if it doesn't work? These work extremely well. Even I was surprised when I first tried one.
