This is how it came about.....
A woman named, Sally Short, took the letters in the phrase, "Love is all you need" and superimposed them on top of each other in a rectangle shape and added a peace sign.
Sally sent off the design to be made into a pendant. When it returned, the family was looking at it and noticed other letters. They discovered every letter and every number! How cool! When you give this to someone or wear it yourself, you can spell any word or name you wish! It has a special message for anyone wearing it, but can mean something to everyone.
This would make such a great gift for a couple, it's a very unisex design, looking great on a man or a woman. What better message than love?
Where Can You Buy One?

ReplyDeleteOf course I am a follower... LOVE you blog
ReplyDeleteIt is adorable that the company is named after Sally's two children Merida and Dane.
ReplyDeleteThis would be a gift for my mom. Her 50th birthdayis coming up and this would be a great gift. My siblings and I are throwing her a big surprise party. I am a triplet. Each triplet could write their own message for my mom so that she could read each message in the pendant!!!! This would be the perfect gift to celebrate her big day.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course I joined the mailing list! who wouldn't, it's great!!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great weekend!
i learned that A portion of Meridane's casting is done at Annie's Orphans in support of their No-Kill Dog Shelter, located in Durango Colorado. GREAT

ReplyDeleteI love this necklace. I found out when I read about the family that: Given that the symbol contains every letter of the alphabet, it can mean ANYTHING to ANYBODY at ANYTIME. It gives people the ability to create their own personal message, HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT.
