Lately these times have me dreaming of travel - not a longing for more travel - but a feeling of thankfulness and wonder in the travels that I have had the privilege of taking. I also have been realizing how experiencing the stories of other people's travels through conversations, books, film, podcasts... can do so much to widen our world view as well.
Since air travel has often been what took us on those far-away journeys, my symbol for these travel thoughts is an almost human-feeling little airplane.
I wear this little airplane and dream of travel memories; starting by going back to 1986 when I stood barefoot at dawn by the Taj Mahal on my first long solo trip. I can remember vividly the kind generous people that I met there, that trip was a life marker and I would not be the same person had I not travelled there. Trips to canoe the Yukon River and hike the Chilkoot trail gave me a love and deep respect for Canada and the outdoors. More recently backpacking trips to Italy and Europe have had the effect of further enriching my world perspective more than I could have ever imagined! Each trip either solo or shared with others becomes a piece of who we are.

I had this little symbol as a special give way for the Out of Hand Show in Victoria- it was so well received I would like to continue giving them away this week leading up to Mother's Day. No coupon need and I will send a bronze one with orders $90 plus and a silver with orders $180 plus - the standard will be to send it on a clip. If you would like it on a long thin loop or even a large silver jump ring to attach to a bracelet just add that to the notes section. Also If you would like it there by Mother's Day - send me a note on that to and I will do my best by upping the service to express post or even better if your Mom is in the Vancouver/Burnaby area my Hubby or I will bike it to her.
Lately I Iove wearing this little airplane simply added to my mini hidden strength locket. I made this locket at the beginning of the pandemic and have not taken mine off since!
