I am going to keep this week's message extremely short... I'm quite busy in the shop putting together an order of items for Shore Shop Gifts on Isle au Haut, Maine, that will be delivered at the end of the week. I'm also working on samples and cost quotes for the gift shop on Seguin Island, Maine! I guess I'm going to be "Island Girl" this summer.
But I still want to get this last great suggestion for Mother's Day out to you, and give myself time to process any of your orders in time for gifting on May 13th!
There are a lot of styles of "Mom" jewelry out there---but speaking for myself, sometimes I think they are kind of cutesie, and don't reflect the active, down-to-earth nature of today's active Moms. I have a solution for that!
My hand-cut tags are available in sterling silver or copper, and are hand-stamped with a nice, casual, lower-cast font. The ones shown in the photo are about 1 1/8" long, but the tags look good in lengths up to about 1 7/8" to accommodate longer names. Each tag is on a ring that is large enough to slide over most chains that people already have, but I also have sterling and copper ball bead chain, suede and leather cording, and NEW---18" black rubber cords that have a sterling silver clasp on them. These are perfect for active wear and look super with the sterling tags. (Rubber cords are available in other lengths, but would have to be ordered)
I could also add a small stone bead or Swarovski crystal to the ring of any tag to represent the person's birthstone, for an additional charge ($2-$4, depending on stone requested).
So if you know a cool Mom out there who isn't one to wear the mass-produced jewelry being advertised on tv right now, consider a hand-cut, hand-stamped, totally personalized name tag. The perfect, unique gift for a perfectly unique woman!
