Preemie Pearls

Mary Jo - 04:01pm Sep 9, 2005 EST
Mother & Grandmother of 34 wkr & 24 wkr

I have been collecting hundreds of genuine Sea Clam Pearls, setting them in tiny baby sea clam shells, edging with either gold or silver, finishing with a 4 mm round ring to string through a chain, to benefit the March of Dimes. My post In April, tells of my 24 wkr, 1 lb granddaughter who is almost 2 yr now, and this is my way to say thanks. I hope this works for them.

    More On Preemie Pearls!

    Doo Do Doot..Doo do doot...News Flash on Preemie Pearls....Preemie Pearls are coming to PAD! Mary Jo will have stock, and order forms for those "special orders; multiples, color, etc"......Also, now, each Preemie Pearl comes with it's own tiny pink or blue framed, "birth certificate" that you can fill in the name, date, weight/length! ....Also a tiny note in envelope with Preemie Pearls information, AND beautiful elegant Donation cards are being printed for the MOD donation to be sent in by me. The cards will have....."A donation in the name of _________ has been made by Preemie Pearls on behalf of.."purchaser's name" on______. So what do you think? Any input is welcome! I am trying my hardest to make this as nice as possible for a special keepsake for any preemie/parent/sibling/grandparent etc as possible. I have also begun to make more Dad items; tie pins/tac's, desk paper weights, a laquered rock with a tiny rock or shell with a pearls set on it. I thought for a dad to have this on his desk, would be a nice keepsake of his "Preemie" Any ideas will be taken serious too, as I aim to please! AND, I have also collected wampum, learned how to smooth and polish, shape, and have made some nice pieces set with a pearls for a necklace, soon to be adding sterling cuff bracelet's. A great "Mom's" gift. And of course, each comes in the velour heart shaped box, wrapped with either a pink or blue ribbon, placed in a protetive white box for safe keeping. For very purchase, a donation is made to MOD which owner recieves a copy of. And now to the scheduled program.......Thanks everyone, your notes have been so sweet and encouraging! Helps when I am still up at 3 am making these.. Blessing's & hug's, Mary Jo

    Are you still selling the pearls?

    I have been looking for a gift for my mother and she is so proud to be PJ's Nana and she loves the ocean-I think this would be the perfect thing. Do you still have them available?
