I originally found Agape Love Boutique because of this piece–her Water of Life necklace. So pretty. So unique. And, Maria-Isabel, the artist behind the store, gives 75% of the profits from the sales of this necklace to Compassion’s Water of Life which works to provide safe water, healthy lifestyle education, and sanitation services to people in need around the world.
Definitely a great way to shop with purpose.
I also found at her store a necklace that I fell in love with that doesn’t support a charity but is so full of purpose that I can’t help but share about it.
She created a mother’s necklace design that not only recognizes the children you are mothering now but also recognizes children you are not mothering–maybe babies miscarried, maybe a baby placed for adoption, maybe a child who passed away. There are the pearls in the nest–and white pearls outside the nest, on the chain to remember.
I love it.
She even has a necklace for mothers who perhaps lost their only child.
Isn’t that stunning?
I’m thinking it could make a very special birth mother or foster mother gift.
And, as a mama who has experienced the sorrow of losing 4 babies, I needed this necklace.
I sat down with my children and let them each pick the color pearl they wanted to represent themselves. Even Lydia chose her own color.
And, I now have a precious treasure to remember all my treasures. When I wear it, Lydia touches the pink pearl and says, “Lydia.” Totally warms my heart.
For one entry, leave a comment here sharing one of your favorite items at Agape Love Boutique. Take some time to click around there–Maria-Isabel is so creative and skillful. I’m so jealous.
Really wanna win? (And, I know you do!) I’ll give you a another entry if share the link to this giveaway on FB or your blog. Leave a comment telling me where you shared.

Oh I love the Birds Nest Necklace the best.

I’ve always loved her vintage rose ring.
I love the birds nest necklace. I have 3 beautiful daughters and I just experienced a miscarriage at 11 weeks in October. I have found that in dealing with the grief of losing a baby, so many forget that it is still hard and it will always be a part of my life. I love the idea of having a simple and pretty reminder of what was mine for just a little while.
I love the bird nest necklace. I’ve been looking for a mother’s necklace and this one is so unique! I absolutely LOVE it. Since this is my absolute favorite, it’d be great to win it!!!!!
