A few months ago I purchased two lovely necklaces from Lisa Leonard Designs. I love them both.

You might remember I purchased a personalized necklace from an Etsy seller around Mother’s Day (Since Chris didn’t take the hint and buy me one after Daphne’s birth, and then told me to “buy myself something real nice” for Mother’s Day in complete Randy Quaid from Christmas Vacation accent. Nice manners, babe.) Unfortunately I wasn’t thrilled with the quality of the necklace and decided to order something else from Lisa Leonard. If you are looking for a Christmas gift, I highly recommend her site.

And don’t you love the glaze on the plate? It’s from the Brookwood Community, which is a center for adults with functional disabilities. It’s funded through tuition, private donations and the sales from their crafts (pottery, candles), restaurant and horticulture center.
