Welcome!

Hey!

I decided to create a blog to accompany my rosary business. I thought it would be a great way to connect with my clients and to share a little about myself. I know that I always find handmade goods so much more intriguing when I know a little about the person behind them and their history.

Speaking of handmade things, I've decided to make a concerted effort to purchase more handmade or recycled goods this year. I've long been a serious advocate of second-hand things (one look at my semi-raggedy wardrobe will confirm this!), but I think I can help my family even more by being extra careful. Things are extra tight around this house now that I'm not employed (hopefully this will change soon) and I really have to watch our budget. Thankfully, in our town we have a couple of second hand clothing stores and I have lots of great friends who always pass down their unneeded baby clothes and gear to me.

For those of you that are new to my life, I am a 31 year old female, married to an outstanding husband who I love dearly, even when he makes a mess and doesn't put his dishes away. Or his underwear. We have a wee 1 year old baby named Sally, and we are pretty convinced that the entire universe revolves around her smile. I suppose this makes us typical first-time parents. A couple of years ago I had an epiphany while soaking in the bathtub, and that pivotal moment led to me starting my own rosary business. I search high and low for cool, one-of-a-kind beads, findings and crucifixes and fashion rosaries in a style that can best be described as 'sparkly.'


I'll end my first post by attaching a link to one of my latest rosaries on Etsy.

Love,
Ava
