More olive wood rosary options!

Posted on November 13, 2018 by Barbara McLaughlin

A few days ago, I received another shipment of olive wood beads, crosses, and crucifixes from my supplier in the Holy Land. I felt like a little girl at Christmas! Even better that I had to buy a larger tool box to contain all of my rosary supplies!

My Etsy shop rosary selection continues to grow. My new favorite rosary has a 2″ beveled olive wood cross and 8mm beads. This rosary feels great in the hand. I offer black, brown, and white nylon cord options.

Friends and family have asked when finger rosary rings will be available for purchase. I have a set of four finger rosaries now available just in time for Christmas!

Catholic wooden rosaries…

Posted on October 29, 2018October 29, 2018 by Barbara McLaughlin

Olive wood is very hard, making it ideal for durable rosaries. I find each bead to be beautiful in its own way with the contrasting light and dark wood grain. When making rosaries, I hand select each bead for a cohesive, artistic look. Check out the latest additions to my wooden rosary selection.

Religious Christmas cards are now available!

Posted on October 19, 2018October 19, 2018 by Barbara McLaughlin

Christmas is 10 weeks away! Are you getting ready? I have two Christmas cards available at my Etsy shop. Both religious cards feature the print of my original ink painting of the Holy Family. My painting is a modern take of the nativity scene with Joseph, Mary, and Jesus. Such beautiful and vibrant Christmas cards to share with family and friends. The first card has a lovely scripture verse printed on the inside of the card – “And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). The second card features the bible verse on the front of the card from Luke 2:11 -“For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord.” This card is blank on the inside for your personalized message.

Christmas cards are available in various quantities with free shipping in the U.S.

Hand Cut Paper Cards with St Therese of Lisieux…

Posted on October 17, 2018 by Barbara McLaughlin

I am excited to share another hand cut paper card option! It can take a bit of time for me to select a quote, but this love quote from St. Thérèse of Lisieux seemed so fitting with the paper cut rose design. “Let us love, since that is what our hearts were made for.” Each card has a hand cut abstract rose. Stencils were not used so each card is 100% unique! Such beautiful cards to send to family and friends with a lovely quote! These are the types of cards I love to pass along to friends. We need a little reminder to choose to love each and every day. Two options are available – a single light pink card or a set of four pink ombre cards.

October is a special month for me and it is also the month of the rosary. The rosary has a special place in my heart and I am blessed to share the work of my hands with others. I have been busy creating new rosaries for my Etsy shop. Below are just a few of my new favorites! To see all of my rosaries, click this link.
