HAPPY MONDAY!
We decided to make this weeks blog, (and all the other FUN stuff we do here, like Win on Wednesday and Thankful Thursday) -all about words..

And you will be happy to know, not all of them will be mine ;)

Instead, this week, we asking you for some favorite words of yours that have lifted you up, inspired you, carried you through. For there is nothing like 'well placed' words, (metaphorically speaking).. as in, when they go right to your heart, and help heal it or bring it joy!

And speaking of 'well placed' :) this missive is actually a very pointed one.


We want to place YOUR words in our gardens!

Every year, as we revive, reshape, and finally "re-debut" the gardens at Giving Tree, we try to make it a really special experience for everyone who walks through.
Not only do we care for the gardens, but we put up some natural art pieces, and my favorite thing- We make slates with short quotes, poems...WORDS on them!

This is where you come in! This last year has seen the birth and nurturing of a really, really special community around Giving Tree Jewelry, and we are most thankful of this and want to celebrate it everyday. So much GOOD STUFF has happened as a result of a group of people 'meeting' each other and sharing their words.

So.. share your words some more, and the ones that fit on the slates will be etched in and placed in our gardens for as long as nature sees fit!

This year too, instead of my just doing it with glue and laminated paper (NOT successful) a dear friend has offered to have the quotes and poems etched on slate for us. This is a HUGE gift!
So.. share your words.. the ones that make you feel wonderful. Something you would most like to see if you were 'wandering through a pretty garden on a beautiful day'..
and then..

COME VISIT US AND DO THIS FOR REAL!!



Thank You for being a part of the blooming gardens in our hearts...

With love,
Rachel
