With all my Soul...
This Etsy shop used to be my Mom's.
When she retired my mom sank into depression and I knew that finding her a hobby would be the best medicine I could give her. I bought her at the toy store a "make your own necklace" kit for girls and she made all the necklaces in 1 hour. She loved it.
My mom became obsessed with making jewelry and selling it to her friends. After all her friends had ALL the jewelry my Mom made, I suggested we open an Etsy shop to take her jewelry all over the world. Seeing my mom excited about people buying her jewelry and finding purpose again is one of my favorite memories from my Mom.
The name of the store is the English translation of her Spanish/French birth name.
My mom passed away in 2016 and I decided to keep her spirit alive through this shop. Seeing her name and photo (all our packing includes a photo of my Mom in 1944 at 4 years old dressed as a little sailor) everyday and knowing I am keeping her dream alive makes me (and I know it makes HER happy).
This is for you mama.
