5 out of 5 starsThis piece brought back so many good memories. I rafted the Zambezi River in the 90s and had a similar Nyami Nyami pendant that I wore for decades until I think it broke. Great quality. Great piece. Thank you so much for allowing me to be it's next caretaker.
Danijela responded on Apr 18, 2026
Thank you so much for sharing this—your photo is wonderful, and it’s so special to see the pendant being held and appreciated like this. It really brings the piece to life. Your story truly means a lot to me. I’m honored that this piece could reconnect you with those memories and become part of your journey again. That’s exactly what I love about vintage items—each one carries history and finds its way to the right next caretaker. Thank you again for your kind words and for giving it a new home—I genuinely appreciate it.

5 out of 5 starsGREAT little snack plates, perfect for a singleton! I loved that they actually have a kind of "mid century" sparkle to them. Been looking for some little plates like this for awhile, they fit the bill!

I’m thrilled to hear the vintage plates were just what you were looking for and that you’re enjoying their mid-century sparkle ✨ And your photo is fantastic—those snacks look absolutely delicious and styled so nicely on the plates! It’s always so fun to see them in use. Thanks again for your support, I really appreciate it!
