Hold Them Close to Your Heart

2010-03-02T17:33:00.001-08:00

I have been reading from many blogs and tweets about moms reading about Layla Grace's journey and how they are being touched to hug their children a little tighter and hold them a little closer.

I would like to introduce all of the moms out there to Michele Baratta's Portrait of Love Necklace.

Here is a short video from Michele Baratta on her Portrait of Love Necklace.

This beautiful necklace would be a beautiful heirloom for your family.

This would be a touching gift for moms, grandmothers, sisters on Mother's Day.

Kids Back to School?

2009-08-19T21:16:00.000-07:00

I saw Michele Baratta's post today on Facebook and I thought she had a wonderful idea.

Are your children going back to school or are they already back in school?
Do you miss your little ones during the day?

Perhaps they just started Kindergarten and you want to keep your little angels close to your heart. Consider one of our photo necklaces! You could insert one of your favorite photos of the summer and wear it with you throughout the day.

Michele designed her first picture frame necklace when her daughter, Lily, went to kindergarten. She's 15 now and Michele still wears a photo necklace with Lily's and her son Tristan's photo too.

There is a story of meaning behind every piece of jewelry.

Del Mar Bracelet ~ Product Showcase

2009-08-15T08:33:00.000-07:00

Growing up in Southern California and loving San Diego and loving Del Mar, "where the surf meets the turf", I knew when I first saw this beautiful piece of jewelry that I had to have it! I can imagine wearing this with a white blouse. I think it will be so pretty and feminine!

From the catalog:

"Dreamy pillows of faceted beach glass chalcedony are linked together with hand twisted sterling silver links. One silver charm has been sculpted to represent the waves of Del Mar, California. This is such a beautiful bracelet! A textured toggle closure secures this 8" bracelet."

Please contact me if you are local in the area and you would like to see this in person and try it on!

"Michele Baratta designs her pieces to feel as good as they look.

Discovering Michele Baratta at Home

2009-08-13T18:43:00.000-07:00

As a direct consultant for several companies already, I wasn't really looking for a new company to represent. However, one night last week, I was browsing around the Direct Sales Women's Alliance looking at new companies in the industry. I noticed "Michele Baratta At Home" and thought, "hmmmmm, what is this?", so I clicked on the website and I saw the photo jewelry and instantly fell in love at first site! I thought, oh women would love this! Who wouldn't love wearing jewelry with their loved ones pictures on it? I loved that the jewelry was handmade in the USA and that the company was out of Encinitas, California. I love San Diego!

I contacted the company right away and signed up and now two days later, I have my beautifully unique kit in hand! The jewelry is beautiful! I can't wait to share with you!
