In Franklin Square

Good Heavens!
A funny thing happened today. Daisy was in my room starting the fire when suddenly cousin- err… brother-in-law, Matthew burst into the room to wake me. He came to tell me I had gone viral!
I screamed in horror at the ghastly prospect! With the Spanish flu being only a recent terror, I panicked and crammed the whole mattress into the fireplace! Daisy ran away instantly (lest Carson find her in the room while this occurred). Matthew just laughed at my hysteria. He then explained to me that “viral” is simply a term for when one’s reputation spreads rapidly, much LIKE a disease. I was positively embarrassed. I’m just happy Sir Anthony wasn’t there to see me.

They say picture is worth a thousand words, but a treasure necklace is worth a thousand words, memories, emotions, innuendos. This is my treasure necklace, with a vintage Connecticut charm (my home state), a Clauddagh ring that my mom brought back from Ireland when I was in 6th grade (my heritage), and a tiny pocket knife I found recently at an estate auction (standing up for myself). The back of the chain has a horseshoe for good luck. On the other chain is a large pyrite (fool’s gold) druzy drop, which is said to promote creativity, good energy, and good health (yes please!). I wear these every day to tell a silent story of who I am and where I’m from.

Come check out our selection of treasures at Franklin Square and build a necklace that tells your story or the story of one you love! Feel free to bring in your own pieces to pair together!
