Peace and Plenty

Purple was said to be Cleopatra’s favorite color. The ancients created the unique color from the mollusk shell, and the expense was so great that only royals could afford to wear it.
We’ve covered the power of purple in earlier posts. Purple has a special, almost sacred place in nature: lavender, orchid, lilac, and violet flowers are often delicate and considered precious. We’ve tried to capture the spirit of purple in our exclusive urn collection.


Our nature series, “Seasons of Life” fine art urns, excellent quality craftsmanship. Available in matching keepsake urn sizes and companion (double capacity) urns.
Timeless Symbols of Protection:
In many cultures, the horn is believed to be the symbol of life and eternity. In ancient Italy the horn charm or amulet was worn in as protection against evil spirits and has also been linked to Celtic and Druid myths and beliefs. In pre-Christian Europe, animal horns pointed to the moon goddess and were considered sacred.
The Italian Horn urn necklace is available in sterling silver, 14K gold. Comes with silk cord.
The fish symbol is representative of the Christian faith and has ancient roots in the Celtic and Druid culture. This discreet urn pendant holds a trace amount of ash, flowers, hair, or other small memento. Available in sterling silver and 14K gold.




For a butter-lovin’ amature Egyptologist, this butter sculpture of Anubis makes my mouth water. Thanks to Granny for the tip. I need a lift to Dallas.
