Great website Denz, beautiful idea and beautiful jewellery.

Just letting you all know I have setup a facebook page.... http://www.facebook.com/pages/My-Angel/167916316592681

I will post on there specials, things like when the new gold jewellery arrives, etc.

I made my first sale yesterday. I did not realise how, although exciting to make a sale, it also jerks your heart as it means someone has had a loss - in this case an ectopic pregnancy. I had someone contact me who lost her baby at 36 weeks... I really do not want to get "blazae" about baby loss but at this stage it is just tear jerking and heart wrenching. I hope I can keep my empathy without getting so emotionally evolved. But then as my MW said to me last week "you will never recover from this loss and you will never be the same person you were last year ever again". I spose she is right!

You are so right, but it becomes a wonderful gift you can give someone who is grieving when you are able to emphasise and give compassion that you might not have otherwise had before IYKWIM?

Congratulations on your first sale. I will buy something soon, I promise, just in an expensive patch at the moment with birthdays all over the place.

Hi Denise (aka Denz),

It was quite by chance I came across this forum after searching for stillbirth info/ forums after losing my baby girl at 24wks gestation just under three weeks ago.

I was very impressed with your newly established online store - it is a market which is so lacking, and I really think it's special and unique, so good on you! It touched something with me, because we agreed to have our little girl buried, and after my three children and I had made or put something small in Faith's casket, my husband asked me to go shopping with him to find something unique but relevant to our situation that he could put in. We had a deadline of a few hours to scour the shops and get back to the funeral home by 4.30pm... and with an indecisive hubby well, that was a mission! lol He had said he was looking for something like a crystal heart or those glass cubes which have a 3D angel or heart in the middle that he could get engraved. Well we went everywhere... jewellers, engraving companies, Christian bookstores, novelty shops, dollar shops, etc. and couldn't find anything. We were just about to give up unsuccessfully, when I said we'd try the last Christian bookstore in town, Living Word (here in Hamilton). It was incredible cos I couldn't find a parking, so sent hubby in to browse quickly.. then managed to get a parking & ran into hubby on the way out of the store empty-handed. I said I wanted to browse quickly, & we found these two identical glass cubes with a 3D image in the middle of two hands holding a little baby (and for $12 each!)! So we bought both, and got them engraved with her name & date - one went in the casket, and the other is sitting on our dressing table in our bedroom for us to remember and cherish. I haven't seen these anywhere, but thought I'd mention it as something you may be able to enquire to get in as they are relevant to miscarriages/ stillborns/ infant deaths/ etc. and are really special.

I love the products you have on your site... really beautiful! I hope your products/ website touches other people's lives, really did mine

xox

DENZ what a lovely idea. Im so sorry for your loss! We lost a daughter too, who was stillborn.
Youve done an amazing job of the website and you have such lovely things for sale.

Denz what a great site, will you get the footprints on the heart in gold or did I just not see it through my blurry eyes?

Lorin, thanks for your comments. I am so sorry you found it hard to find something lovely for your daughter. Sadly tho, I am not sure people in your situation would turn to the internet... but I am hoping more and more people will learn about the website so it is there if people need it! I am very glad you found something you like in the end. (I know a store here in Tauranga that has EXACTLY what you were looking for!! Actually a few! Typical eh!!) I will look out for Crystals. I have a heart suncatcher crystal myself that someone gave me when we lost Angela, and everytime it sparkes its rainbows we think of her. Treasured memories special only to our family!

Thanks Trudes!

Stekeljodcam - the gold hearts are plain. No footprints. I have to order 100 of each thing in gold (arrgghh) so I went for plain so people could engrave hand or footprints on if they liked that, or a name, or just leave it plain. So no, you did not see wrong. And I am very sorry for your recent loss

Kia kaha ladies.

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone and everyone could go to my facebook page and vote on some new jewellery items.

I am looking at getting in jewellery that is not cremation jewellery - focusing on miscarriage or loss where people have no ashes or do not want to break up their ashes, but still want a lovely keepsake that is special.

I would love everyones opinion and help with this. You can vote by viewing the photos and "Like" the ones you like. My facebook page is at www.facebook.com/myangelnz

Thanks muchly

Denise

Denz, I just have to giggle...I was trying to send someone to your FB page the other day...and just assumed it was www.facebook.com/myangel... turns out it's not your page!!!! We both had a good giggle!!! Off to have a wee look...I LOVE the sound of this....

Thanks Deedz. Myangel was taken so I had to put the NZ on the end.

I have had such positive response from everyone on EBB - so touched!

to all EBBers - you guys are the best!

Hey Denz!

Have you managed to get the little feet pins yet?

Just showed my 7yo your website and she loved the little heart pendant with the feet and said we should get one for Chloe.
Hmm gonna have to save for that.

DFL - use the code EBBmate for 20% off. Special for EBB friends!

I am new to this site... I lost my baby nearly 4 weeks ago, born too early

I wish I had come across your website, you have some lovely things on there. I actually bought the 'footprints on my heart' charms off someone in Aussie, as I'm making necklaces for our children to wear to remember their little brother by.

I wish I'd found your website first. Will like it on FB and share it with my friends for you.

Good luck with it and your keepsakes will help with healing lots of lives in the future xxx

Thank you so much for your kind words mumto2plus2.

It heals me a little more everytime someone purchases from the site... as hard as it is to know someone else has lost a sweet dear child... it makes me feel my angel has made a difference and helped someone else with their grief. Which helps me make sense of mine!

In time, you too will find the sunny day from the storm you are in...
