A piece of me lives here

As I was packing up an order of jewelry today I was thinking about all the places my jewelry would get to travel to, places I may never ever see in person. But you know what, a little bit of me will be in those places. When I make jewelry I always put a little bit of me in each piece. The thoughts that went through my head while wrapping stones, the meditation while knotting pearls, thoughts of Christmas presents and who may one day wear the piece.

So here are some of the places my jewelry has gone to.

Grand Junction, Colorado
One of my pearl necklaces and bracelets got to travel to Grand Junction.  This place looks amazing and nothing like Virginia. I would love to see this landscape one day.
 
I sent a pair of blue and green Donate Life earrings to this city.
 
I have actually been to Atlanta and visited the Georgia Aquarium. Seeing the whalefish and beluga whales was amazing. One of my earrings gets to spent their life here.
 
 
You seriously have to check out the waves in this beach town. They are awe inspiring, breathtaking, simple too huge to explain in words. I sent a cute pair of wire earrings to Australia. G'day Mate!
 
 
The city where east and west, old and new meet. My Mom grew up here and lots of my aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews still live here. One day I'll visit again. Not sure when, but I will get there.
 
 
There you go, a sampling of the places that now have a piece of me in them. Isn't that a beautiful thought?
 
Where have your creations gone? Are pieces of your heart in places that you may never see?
