Be You

Remember all of those things that used to matter to you before you got distracted by everyone else's lives? Remember what it used to be like to set your goals or live your life based on your purpose rather than what everyone else is doing? Remember when you used to be content and find joy in the life God has given you and where He has placed you until you started trying to be like everyone else? It's time to be you and be the person God created you to be without worrying about what anyone else thinks/is doing.

70s style necklace

NEW 70s style necklace added to the shop. I can center a word of your choice on the metal stamp or as shown in the photo (off-centered with a charm). This necklace is short and perfect for layering or wearing alone. It's my new favorite. Link to shop in profile or visit www.iwonderoriginal.storenvy.com. What word would you choose?

To Kill a Mockingbird

Congrats to Keli

Congratulations @keli.rutledge
...................................................... Horray because I ran my first 5k and finished in 3rd overall in my age division!! It's funny actually, because I didn't even know it was a race! I thought you just run, get a tee-shirt, and an excuse to eat chipotle later on!

Hoping to add some new inventory to the shop soon. These vintage key necklaces have turned out to be one of my favorites. Don't you think the word "Live" is perfect? I'm always inspired by the words my customers want stamped on their item. www.iwonderoriginal.storenvy.com
