Send Me On My Way

It has been a Craigslistin' kind of week . . . I've had these two, tiny little guardian angel lapel pins for nearly 20 years. Back in the day, they were all the rage. Okay--maybe not all the rage, but they were fairly popular at this little new age jewelry/gift store in my hometown of Madison, CT, called Down to Earth. So I bought a couple and, sadly, never wore them. Instead, they sat in a little mauve velvet compartment in my jewelry box.

Today, I packed them up and sent them on their way to a woman who works in a nursing home. She has two residents who are getting ready to move out on their own, and thought that having a little guardian angel to make the transition with them would provide some needed comfort.
