An interesting morning!

Hi-I'm Neen from HeartFelt Rosaries signing in, and still scratching my head after this morning...you have to understand I've had a statue of the Blessed Virgin in my front yard for years. I clean it in the spring and plant blue flowers around it, and in the winter I keep the snow off it. Each morning as I back out the drive, it makes me smile to see it.

I smiled again this morning and went on my way.

At lunch, I stopped home to check on the cats...and something looked different. It took a minute, but there, where Mary stood for years, was a big spot of.....Nothing!

Somebody STOLE my Mary statue! In broad daylight, in a good neighborhood!

At first I was dumbfounded...then mad. But by the time I got the car parked, the bizarreness of it all started to sink in, and I started to laugh.

I have to ask you, guys and girls, WHO, in their right mind, would STEAL a statue of Mary?? I mean, the incongruity of sinning in order to obtain a holy statue is just too funny. What are they going to do with it? I mean, I think the Big Guy is gonna be pretty upset!

So, I bless them with the gift of the statue.

Apparently they need it more than I do. And besides, I still have something to smile at in the morning when I back out the drive. Or even laugh.

Makes my brain hurt, though .

On a more sensible topic, though, here are a couple of my latest Rosaries.

The Sterling Cross on the onyx was handcrafted in Mexico and has a lovely heft and silky smoothness. The Paters are Bali Sterling beads with clear Amethyst on each side to add a little Royal Purple to honor Our Mother--all wrapped as usual in solid sterling wire.

The bronze Rosary has the most fantastic natural cafe-au-lait Mother of Pearl! I am very fussy, and sought out handpicked stones with lots of what they call 'character'--lots of banding and color variations and swirls from almost translucent to pearly tan. Wish you could see it in person, but this will have to do for now!
