Jewelry Stories from Beach Haven + Book Review
Thank you so much for joining me for today’s Jewelry Stories! Admittedly, I’ve been waiting to share today’s book and designs for several months now. I kinda had to stew over this story and these characters for a while before sharing a review because when I first read it, I thought it was gonna be a DNF. (Don’t you hate when that happens?!) I had started listening to the audio version, and I don’t know if it was the characters, the setting, or something else, but I could not get into it at all. But my slight case of OCD would not let me leave it alone, so about 6…

Jewelry Stories from Until Leaves Fall in Paris

I can’t tell you what joy I get from combining my two favorite things – books and jewelry – into these pieces that help bring these stories to life in new ways. Today’s book will already be making it into my Top 10 favorite books for this year, so there was no question that some inspiration for jewelry and bookmarks would be found within its pages. One of the things (there were many!) that I loved about Until Leaves Fall in Paris was little Josie, and maybe that’s because I have two little girls of my own. Their innocence at that age…

Jewelry Stories from The House on Foster Hill
Hi friends! Today’s Jewelry Stories features a book that is not the norm in Christian fiction. It’s kinda spooky, creepy-ish…you know what I mean. It was my first foray into this type of genre, and at least from a Christian standpoint, it worked for me! It’s a split-time story, so those of you who love historical fiction will EAT IT UP. This collection of jewelry is a bit on the smaller side – just three pieces – but they really are a great match with the story and the passages I’ve highlighted below. Take a peek at each one, and I’ll see you at the end of this post for…
