There is something very nostalgic about getting real snail mail, in that simple mailbox at the end of your driveway (not to be confused with the inbox at the end of your keyboard strokes). I remember some lonely days away at college, and getting a care package in the mail, simply made my day and covered me with smiles!
I got this piece of loveliness in the mail just yesterday. It filled me with such HOPE!
Emily Dickinson said, “Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul.”
Ahhhhhhhhh! Doesn’t that just make you smile and give you an extra bounce in your heart’s-step?
My sweet friend, Lisa Leonard, has transferred this timeless quote (in her own hand writing) upon a sterling silver pendant!
I adore every square inch of the word HOPE! Without hope, where would we be? Do you know someone in need of some HOPE?
You might enjoy slipping on over and visiting Lisa…
I just know one of these meaningful necklaces would fill the sails of her soul… that friend, sister, mom, daughter… in need of some encouragement today!

Thanks for visiting!
I’m with you on getting mail…it’s fun to find something other than a bill or junk mail. Love your new necklace, you look beautiful in it.
what a lovely necklace! That is one of my favorite quotes 🙂
Traci-that is a beautiful necklace indeed, and what a wonderful quote. I’ll pay your friend a visit when my job situation is better. Otherwise, I’d just be “hoping” I could support her and get some nice pieces myself LOL. Thanks for sharing. -E
p.s. how are your sister-in-law and baby Gabriel?
I love getting personal mail too. Most of the time it is lots of junk mail though!
Lovely necklace.
How absolutely sweet and precious! What a wonderful thing for her to do for you! Praise God for wonderful, godly friends who go out of their way to bless others!
Love all of Lisa’s jewelry and her sweet blog. I’m busy putting cards in the mail this week. Love giving others a lift.
I love to get some snail mail too. However, I don’t like receiving bills; lol.
I love Lisa Leonard’s designs. I was on her site this morning and noticed the hope necklace too. I also added a few items to my wish list.
I love it! By the way girl, blue is your color.
Beautiful beautiful hope 😉 Love that!
Beautiful quote and beautiful necklace. I too LOVED snail mail care packages at college. Of course I was in school way before personal computers and email….
Beautiful pendant, and yes that does put a spring in my step. 🙂
My first time at your blog, and I like it. I love the header too!
I just love her work!
Traci, this is truly breath taking! I love it. It’s got so much meaning, it’s simple yet elegant, and it’s romantic. The perfect combo!
I love the word hope!

WOW…what a beautiful quote and piece of jewelry. I’m so glad you were blessed by its beauty!
Beautiful necklace.
btw. my littlest boys name is Carsyn. 😀
What a pretty necklace! I’d love to receive some hope, too. Going to check it out…
That is a beautiful necklace, Traci. And you look just beautiful in that picture 🙂 Hope is a powerful thing…it’s hard to hold on to when the world is so full of greed and negativity.
Beautiful necklace and I really love that particular quote! I think just wearing that would brighten anyone’s day! It’s lovely!
Just have to say that I couldn’t agree more about snail mail…I have actually been really trying to avoid just sending little (dare I say pointless?) messages on facebook and such but instead, just writing out a small card and popping it in the mail to encourage someone! It is so fun because I remember too when the mail box used to be full of goodies and they do make a person’s day!:)
This is a lovely and encouraging blog you have here!
