✨ A Little Piece of My Heart… in an Ornament ✨
I wanted to share something a little more personal today, because these handwritten ornaments are so much more than just a product to me — they’re a piece of my story. ❤️
When I was younger, my dad used to travel a lot for work. Every time he went on a business trip, he’d write postcards and send them home. It was his little way of reminding us that he was thinking of us, no matter how far he was.
And here’s the funny part — the signature you see on one of my sample ornaments was actually written on a Backstreet Boys postcard. 😂 If you know me, you know how perfectly on-brand that is for my childhood.
For those of you who don’t know, I lost my dad in 2009. Coming across those postcards years later — seeing his writing, his words, his signature — took my breath away. It felt like he was right there for a moment.
So now, being able to take those precious memories and turn his actual handwriting into ornaments… it’s something I treasure more than I can ever put into words. I’ve made them for myself, for my family, and now I’m honored to be able to offer the same heartfelt keepsakes to all of you.
Whether it’s a note from a parent, a recipe from a grandparent, your child’s handwriting, or a signature from someone you miss — these ornaments freeze a moment in time, and they truly mean everything.
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out.
Otherwise, I’ll drop the link below so you can take a look for yourself.
