Note from Mama Gnome...
for our friends who dont know us personally.. though many of you DO.. Im so proud and happy that Hannah is willing to challenge herself with this little enterprise.She left the artsy day program for special needs adults a few months ago ,which she loved going but decided after a bad experience,came to think that perhaps staying home with me might be a better experience for her. So we though and thought of what she can 'do' to keep her busy..this' Faery Kisses' was brought into being! She does all that she can in the production of this jewelry and I do the rest.. She is actively involved watching me do that part as well,getting to know all parts of the business, she will help in shipping and billing as well. For those who dont know her ,except that shes my daughter..Hannah has challenges.. challenges that she has faced with unwavering spirit.. for this business she faces the challenge of hands and fingers that ..hmm.. what to say..dont cooperate with her.. she has several condition's , Arachnadactly, contractures ,ulnar deviation and general muscle weakness. For those who do know her you know she copes pretty darn well,with Mom or a friend filling on what she cant. But believe you me.. everything she can do ..she does..! I tell you all this, not to let you in on private family business,but as she goes out into the world more and more on her own,but so ones who learn about this endeavor have the understanding that this is one special young lady.
Thank you,
A proud mom
