Chillie Girl

So many of you all ready know our dog Chillie a 14mth old Border Collie.

This is a photo of Chillie taken two days before a dog viciously attacked her this past Monday and we had to rush her to an emergency vet for surgery

She was doing nothing more than her usual walk with myself and my husband when from the opposite side of the road a dog broke free from its harness and attacked Chillie. Chillie is a passive timid little girl and did not fight back and immediately rolled onto her back and gave up. If my husband had not been with me I am sure we would have lost our little girl that day.

After surgery and hours of observation we had to pick her up from the emergency vet hospital and sadly while we waited to take Chillie home we had to be with people that did not have a happy outcome from their emergency trips

Their faces, their grief, their tears just tore me apart, I sat there in tears not for our Chillie as she was coming home but for these families that beloved animal family members would not be.

I have helped many of you with jewellery for your beloved pets. Some four legs some feathers and even a much loved rat whose foot print I did and I still remember those little toes.

So for those I have helped in the past with pets I have had so many of you on my mind this week with our close call. For those that may not know I do pet memorial this is a time I have been prompted to remind all

All family members deserved to have their lives honored and remembered in jewellery if that is what you chose to do. All my jewellery can be adapted for pets and I am asked all the time if I do. The answer is Yes of course I do.

This post is dedicated to those that lost a pet family member that day and sending love out to the universe to you. Thinking of you and truly understanding your pain as we have been there when we lost our beloved Shep so many years ago. I have had pets all my life and I have lost many. The joy they bring to your life is so great yet the sadness when they leave is so incredibly heartbreaking and immense

Welcome 2015

I am back from a lovely break and hope that you all had a lovely Christmas and Safe New Year. I know the holiday season can be tough on so many of you and I hope it was not too unkind to your hearts.

As memtioned in previous blog posts I am returning to making my jewellery in 2015 and my wait list is now open

However I will be working more with my husband in another business we have this year so my wait time on personalized or one off pieces of jewellery may be a little longer than in previous years

I will always do what I can for families that contact me it just may take a little longer

My email remains the same and my blog very much a guide to idea, as I like no two pieces the same as no two lives are the same just email me to work out what is perfect for you

May you all have a truly blessed 2015

My Plans for 2015

♥

I think today as I turned over my calendar it could not have been more appropriate and I guess, yes very much a sign

After taking a bit of time over the last week and a bit and talking to so many of you via emails, phone calls and texts I have decided to not let one person ruin my passion to help families

I will be returning to my Jewellery after the 10th of January 2015

However it will be in on a smaller scale and it may take a little longer to have things made for you as I very much will be taking on a bigger more active roll in my husbands business

Anyone that truly knows me knows that I would not ever let anyone down that needs me and over the past days I have received so much love and support. Countless comments and emails of how much my jewellery has meant to people especially this time of year. Phone calls, Texts, people so upset that they have been saving up to buy something from me (this broke my heart I must say). I even had a lady fly up from Sydney and stay with family and friends for 5 days while Jason and I worked on something for her. Wow dedication to my work

I truly have been overwhelmed with all your love and I return that love to you all now with this post

So for now from the Jordan's we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and for so many we know it is not an easy time of year and hope that it is not too unkind to your hearts

Have a safe New Year

See you in 2015

Orders are now closed until 2015

It is with a heavy heart and much sadness that today I will be closing all orders for my jewellery and may not be making any more

I will be taking some time off and reconsidering where I am in January 2015

This morning I received what I consider to be a very hurtful email. Questioning not only the quality of my jewellery, as there was a scratch and what is described to me as scuff marks on a pendant I sent that in no way was intentional and would certainly be replaced or refunded. Sadly jewellery can get scratched and every care is taken that it arrives in perfect condition

What has brought be to this decision is that this email has questioned my true and genuine caring for families I have helped and alludes to me maybe not been genuine in my sympathies or that I am not truly sensitive to the needs of families

Yes this has truly rocked me to my core. I could not care more or be more genuine in my love and feeling for families I have tried to help over the years.

To be honest I am shattered and I have only continued to make jewellery for families as I actually care too much for them

Over the past year I have started to take on more and more with my husband business and still do my jewellery to help. I try and keep my prices as reasonable as possible to help as our family is provided for by my husband and not by my jewellery

Any orders I do currently have will be filled but I will no longer be taking any for 2014

I am so sad today, I hope this break helps my heart. Every piece of jewellery I have ever made I put all my love care and attention into.

Sending love and blessings to all for the Christmas New Year period and lets see what 2015 brings to us all

Love and Light

Always

Too the families I have grown to love over the years I say, Thank you for your love and now friendships xxx

I can not thank everyone enough for your beautiful comments it has helped me so much today. You know as I read them I remember your pieces and your loved ones lost. I have spent the morning with Jason my jeweler and a lovely lady filling a bracelet Jason made for her and she insisted I put the photo up. Your comments texts and emails have helped me so much and the love and hugs from this lady this morning has helps as well. I guess it has been a long year and I will still take these weeks over the Christmas and New Year period heal as so many of your stories I do take on and it makes my heart heavy. I guess feeling so questioned about my sensitivity and knowing of the importance of the piece of jewellery this morning, even if not intentional has still really hurt. Anyone that knows me knows I will do anything to help and rectify any issues. So thank you again for you understanding.
With this much love I am sure I will return in 2015
I just currently need some time as I do every year to heal myself
I do take time off each year this time is just a little sooner than normal

Christmas Orders Closing Dates

Christmas order closing dates 2014

Its that time of year again when the mail services around the world start to get overcrowded and really start to slow down

Therefore I do need to cut off Christmas orders for postage to overseas at the end of November. Anything posted after the 30th of November 2014 I am sorry may not make it in time for Christmas so please get your orders in soon (orders for personalized jewellery overseas close 14th Nov)

Remember there is an up to two week wait time on many of my personalized pieces so get your orders in now if you do not want to miss out

The Christmas Angel Balls have a 1 week wait time and are running out fast

For those that are in Australia the same wait time on jewellery applies to personalized pieces. Express overnight freight through Australia Post seems to take much longer than that I have found in previous years so I will not be posting Australian order for Christmas after the 16th of December 2014
(personalized jewellery orders for Australia will close 28th Nov)

Orders after any of these dates I am sorry may not make it by Christmas and if I do not set firm dates the post really does stress me out too much as I know how important every piece of jewellery is

So Please get your orders in now if you do not want to miss out

A Bluebird for a Father

A Bluebird For Her Dad

I get an email from a lady asking for a one off piece of jewellery nothing new about that.

It was something special for her to wear in memory of her beloved Dad that had passed. Again nothing new I have honored many Dads for those missing them.

This lady wanted no ashes or hair to go with the piece just a Bluebird on a pretty chain that would sparkle like stars in the night sky

I thought well you can buy little Bluebirds anywhere and if no need for a conversion to hold ashes or hair then then this lady could simply even click on ebay or the internet anywhere and get one a lot cheaper than having me or my jeweler making her one

So I tried to talk her out of it

No she insisted it had to be a certain size, shape it had to have the chain hang a certain way, it had to have a diamond for the eye as a diamond in the sky and for April. This bluebird had to be just as special as unique and as one off as her Father

So this little Bluebird was made. Hand cut and crafted by my jeweller with a diamond in the eye then a searched for the perfect chain to go with it that would sparkle from every angle

I was so happy and blown away with the result I only wish this photo would do it justice. This Bluebird is NOTHING at all like what she could have bought cheaply over the internet. It is what I call and "Adult" Bluebird not a child style you can find everywhere and can not even be recreated even if we wanted to, so rich in colour and so unique it floats and fly's like does not even need its chain

So happy this lady did not listen to me and she was insistent on having this one off made for her it was a lot more expensive than only old Bluebird but then again there is no other Father like her Dad and never will be

May he fly high in Heaven watching over you forever ♥

Photo from this lady now her Bluebird is home
