MAY is Lupus Awareness Month
If you don't know what Lupus is, now is your chance to learn something new!
This image will take you right to Lupus.org where you can have your questions answered
And HERE, you can go to my personal fundraising page if you would like to make a donation. Or, you can purchase my handmade jewelry and have 100% of the proceeds donated to my fundraising campaign!
These are the two #waxseal jewelry pieces that I donate ALL proceeds from to Lupus.org
Lupus means 'Wolf" in Latin.
In the 1850's Lupus was so-named after a patient developed such a severe facial rash that it resembled the bite of a wolf.

In Heraldry,
the symbol of the wolf denotes
someone courageous who perseveres despite difficulties and setbacks. The wolf is emblematic of valor and guardianship and the wearer of the Crest thought to be noble with valor.

| While I Live I'll Crow |
" While I live I'll Crow" is a perfect motto for anyone with a chronic illness. Although you may not feel up to doing the things you did once upon time, this is a little reminder to make the most of the times you feel well!
From my collection, one of (way too many) antique wax seal stamps from the 19C.
I have some relics from the 18C I will be showing you soon!
