Testimonials from the past:
10/09 Oh, Ruth, I received the pendants and earrings today and they are all just absolutely lovely! What a wonderful, wonderful artist you are. I cannot thank you enough for these precious, beautiful pieces. I will wear mine with love and cherish it always and I know that Jeff’s mom Gail, his daughter Alecia, and his dearest mom-like friend Rose-Ellen will feel the same about theirs. You have helped to ease the pain of Jeff’s loss by replacing a part of it with beauty and love. Thank you so very much for the care and skill, the time and patience you put into these tiny works of art. And for your heart, too, Ruth, because your heart comes through.

Dear Ruth
just wanted to thank you for the pendants - speedy service and I was so impressed when they arrived - they were even lovelier than I pictured.
My mum died on 22nd July 2008 and both my sister and aunt have taken it really badly. Her favorite flowers were forget-me-nots and I am hoping that these beautiful pendants will serve as a comfort to both of them.
Thank you once again
Kind regards

Hi Ruth,
My name is Ellen Sherry. My husband sent you a tiny flower over the holidays to put in a necklace for me. It arrived today and I just had to contact you! I was overwhelmed to see this beautiful pendant with the tiny flower that meant so much to my 4 year old son, Kieran! It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for preserving this moment in time for us! You do exquisite work .
Thank you, Ellen 01/08/09
Hi, my name is Becky and I just received a forget-me-not pendant in the mail from you along with earrings to match. I can't put into words how meaningful this all is to me. I actually wanted to find a piece of jewelry for myself in memory of the baby I just lost (Clara), but I couldn't find that one precious piece. Somehow I didn't come across your website otherwise I would have ordered the pendant myself--it is EXACTLY what I'd have wanted. It's simple, it's natural, and what I love the most is that it's discreet. And your work is gorgeous. Thank you for creating these precious little keepsakes.

Hello Ruth,
I wanted to let you know I received the necklace you made for me from my sons memorial flowers.
It is more beautiful than I expected. I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. Thank you so much!
I will be keeping your website in my "favorites" category and will recommend it to anyone who would like a remembrance of their loved one.
Once again thank you for making something special to remind me of someone that was special.
Thank you,

Dear Ruth,
Thank you so much for the beautiful pins. You did a beautiful job. Thank you for personalizing the boxes and the cards. I sent them to my sister in laws and had my two nieces pick theirs out. It is such a special thing since my mom's name was Heather. You came highly recommended and I can see why. I will recommend you to my friends also. Thanks again. We all love the pins. Renae 05/12/09
I love your note cards.
I just placed an order for two boxes of the assorted note cards..they are great to give as gifts.

Dear Ms. Wales,
I just received my first order from you today. I was so excited. I ordered the single forget me not pendant and it's perfect. I have a friend that just suffered a miscarriage and it just is perfect. As a woman who had experienced 10 years of trying to have kids, myself, and just gave birth to a daughter, I know how it feels to long for kids. I had not suffered miscarriage, but before we adopted our son 5 years ago, I had an adoption fail and it was heartbreaking, had I searched for something like this years ago, I would have purchased it. As I mentioned, I just gave birth to our daughter naturally, and it's just been a very long road to parenthood, but worth the wait for both of our treasures.
My friend just experienced a very early loss and I was thinking about Forget me nots and how God didn't forget her and I searched for that flower and found your site. Oh, it is beautiful.
I can not wait to give this to her in church tomorrow. THANK YOU.

Thank you., Yvonne

Dear Ruth,
You have turned a dream into reality! I wanted something very special to give to my dearest friend on her birthday this year; and you created it for me with all the attention to detail and artistry I could imagine. The Mexican Sunflower encased in the crystal paperweight glows as beautifully as it did in my garden.
It is my friend's favorite flower and now she will be able to enjoy it's beauty and color even in the grayest of winter days. Your suggestion of applying an inscription and photo of my friend and me to the base added immensely to the personal nature of the gift.Thank you very, very much. I am so happy to have found you!

Thank you! You just created a beautiful necklace for my friend whose daughter passed away. I work for a hospice organization and showed everyone the incredible work you did....they were all blown away and want to have your contact information! I just wanted you to know how thankful I am for the compassionate care I know it must have taken to create my sweet friend's necklace from her daughter's funeral flowers.
God Bless You!

Ruth,
I wanted to write and thank you again for all the work you did. When I received my order, I opened it immediately and was blown away by how beautiful the paperweights and jewelry were. It was a large order (13 paperweights plus 4 necklaces and a pair of earrings) and when I opened the paperweights, one was more beautiful then the next. They are exactly what I hoped they would be. I was going to give them as Christmas gifts to my family in memory of my much loved grandmother. I don't know if I can wait for Christmas! They are just gorgeous...so detailed and delicate.
You have an amazing talent and anyone can see in your work how much you love what you do. Thank you for working with me...you were so patient about answering all my questions and helping me through the process. I also really appreciate you showing me some examples to help me decide exactly what I wanted. I'll be ordering again!

Wonderful, awesome, fabulous, better than I could have imagined!! I can't say enough great things about the necklaces I ordered. I wanted something nice to give my mom, sister, kids, and a special aunt for a memory keepsake of my dad, what I got was something even better. They all turned out so beautiful. I'm sure they will be thrilled w/their necklaces. Thank you so much for doing such a great job in preserving our keepsake necklaces.

The pins arrived on Thursday and they are exquisite! I love them and I know my sisters will love them also.
Thank you so much for getting them to me so quickly and so attractively packaged. As I mentioned before, my husband and I had our own handmade jewelry business in California and one concept we kept in mind was that people buy the sizzle as much as they buy the steak. You obviously pay great attention to both!
Thanks again, Fran

I can't wait to get them in the mail. Thank you for your beautiful work!
