Handmade Histories 5 : Beaded Heart

Beaded Heart (Fruitique: Virginia)



Darling precious Grace was born in 2006. She came into the world just too early and just too poorly and she died. She was so very very beloved and so very cherished by her family. Every anniversary her Mummy, Rachel, buys a little special keepsake for Grace's memory box and for her memorial stone at their local church. The family has also planted a silver birch in memory of another special person in their lives, Nana. This wonderful tree watches over Grace. This year Rachel bought a bright beaded happy and shining heart to hang on her Nana's tree for baby Grace. Rachel then bought a companion cream heart in memory of her Nana to hang with Grace's heart: two dear and precious people in their lives remembered, always cherished.




I was feeling a little piqued that no one had responded or reacted to the stories about Fruitique purchases and then I get this very tender response at 88. I'm touched that a little recycled beaded heart can make just a teeny tiny difference. I've stopped sulking now, Rachel!
