✨ The moment I realized this might actually become a real business…
After Megan trusted me to create pieces with ashes, I decided to take a little leap.
I posted in a local breastfeeding group and explained that I was still learning. I offered a few select pieces at my cost + $5 (which I jokingly called my “profit” 😂) in exchange for people letting me practice.
I truly didn’t know what to expect.
But then something amazing happened.
So many people reached out. Moms who wanted to preserve their breastfeeding journey. Women who wanted something meaningful to hold onto. People who believed in this little idea I was trying to build.
And honestly… it brought me so much joy.
Each message, each order, each piece I poured made me realize that this wasn’t just something I loved doing — it was something that meant something to other people too.
This photo is one of those early official sales — and looking back at it now makes my heart so full. 🤍
What started as “let me practice” slowly became Pieces of Us Jewelry.
And I’m still incredibly grateful for every person who trusted me in those early days.
