5 out of 5 starsArrived very quickly. Love the tile - very sturdy and you can see the graphic clearly. And I love the way the envelope was addressed to me - very fancy! Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsI bought this necklace for my entire Board. It was a huge hit and everyone wore it to our end-of-season celebration. Item better than expected and arrived in a timely manner. Highly recommend this seller.

5 out of 5 starsThis piece also was perfectly what I had in mind when I started out looking, very tasteful, not a lot of flash yet eye-catching! I have already mentioned Martha's shop to several people that have asked about the lanyards from just the first week I have worn them!

About NotSoDotty
It started with my aunt's 1947 college dictionary...
...that I discovered at my parent's house. I fell in love with the old graphics and the old fonts, and decided to make pendants from some of the pictures. It was fun to see what was in the dictionary and what WASN'T in the dictionary!
In 2012, after I'd been through several very difficult years full of incredible stress and profound grief, I began making pendants with dictionary words like hope, joy, persevere, etc. I had emerged from a very dark time with a new sense of clarity about what really mattered to me... and what I wanted to let go of. This was a real gift that allowed me to begin living a more authentic life, and for that I am grateful. I make these little pendants for my sista-friends to remind you that better days are ahead. As cliche as it sounds, there really IS light after darkness... and as my favorite songwriter Jason Mraz says..."the absence of the light is a necessary part." (from 93 Million Miles)
Customers do sometimes ask for specific words (and maps, too), and I'm always happy to make those, too. Sometimes they end up being one of the most popular ones in the shop! Let me know if there's a word you'd like to see in a pendant!
