May you be Blessed with Love


This Valentine's Day as we celebrate each others love, may we also celebrate Our Lord's and Blessed Mother's Divine Love
May you feel loved and love yourself as you are a temple for Our Father in Heaven
and Our Sweet Loving Blessed Mother
If you love God, you must love yourself and others as They live in each one of us
God, my Father,
may I love You in all things and above all things.
May I reach the joy which You have prepared for me in
Heaven.
Nothing is good that is against Your Will,
and all that is good comes from Your Hand.
Place in my heart a desire to please You
and fill my mind with thoughts of Your Love,
so that I may grow in Your Wisdom and enjoy Your Peace.

St Therese Catholic Locket Shrine Religious Necklace

"Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing."


It is an honor for me having to create a piece of jewelry honoring St. Therese. When I create a piece in her honor, I feel so much love and tenderness that I can't explain and I wish I could capture it in my creation.


Inside locket I used a handpainted vintage pocket statue of Sacred Heart of Jesus and a piece of a broken vintage rosary

Locket Shrine Necklaces





When I began creating these necklaces, I was not sure what to make with the lockets and loved the cameos but one day I woke up with the inspiration to create a small shrine for Our Lord, Blessed Mother and Beloved Saints and I kept finding those wonderful pocket statues that I use and I have been blessed that they are liked by many.

I created two more today to list on my Etsy shop. I always love making one with Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Miraculous Medal and St. Anthony, he has been so good to me in many ways, always ready to help me, thank you St. Anthony.

Inside I added a very unique vintage pewter pocket statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe and a color image of Blessed Pope John Paul II
I also created another honoring Our Beautiful Blessed Mother and Baby Jesus. I used a vintage cameo and inside locket made honor to Our Lady of Miraculous Medal
The pocket statue of Our Lady of Miraculous Medal is a vintage hand painted statue surrounded by vintage rhinestones

These are listed in my Etsy shop

Vintage & New Jerusalem Cross, Angel Catholic Necklace

The Jerusalem Cross features five crosses, one large and four small, that are said to represent Jesus and the four evangelists, as well as the five wounds sustained by Jesus on the cross.

I had saved this beautiful vintage Jerusalem Cross for the right moment to use it in one of my creations. Nothing was coming up as to how to use it in a necklace until recently, the necklace, just came together with the beads and the angel center to give emphasis to the Cross.

I used beautiful blue aurora borealis crystals and brass color as well.

Sacred Heart, Saints Religious Medals Charm Bracelet

Prayer to the Sacred Heart by Saint Francis De Sales

May Thy Heart dwell always in our hearts!
May Thy Blood ever flow in the veins of our souls!
O sun of our hearts, Thou givest life to all things by the rays of Thy goodness!
I will not go until Thy Heart has strengthened me, O Lord Jesus!
May the Heart of Jesus be the King of my heart!
Blessed be God. Amen.




Creating a bracelet honoring the Precious Sacred Heart of Jesus it's always a special meaning for me ever since having a beautiful experience with Our Lord presenting His Heart to me many years ago and every time I create one or a necklace, I always try to capture His love I felt that day and convey it into my creation.

On this bracelet I used a vintage cameo of Our Lord and many Catholic medals including handcrafted angels created with Czech. glass heart beads

"May His Divine Love always be in your hearts"

Amen
