  1. I am slightly embarrassed to say that I had no idea that "the and sign" was really called an ampersand. NO IDEA. Thanks for the pretty pictures and a little Wednesday education :) xo

  27. danni, I ordered the Isette necklace for a friend who had recently gone through a break up.

    I think its such a wonderful symbol for someone who is staring a new phase in their life because "and" means there is somthing more to come.

  28. I've loved ampersands since I was a little kid and I had one in my room hanging above my door. It had belonged to my mom when she was young. I wish I still had that now. I remember being little and having no idea what it was but really loving the way it looked!
