So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Horse Hair Jewelry Is A Special Memento

By Helga Stokes


Horse hair jewelry is sought after by those who experience a special connection with horses. There is an overwhelming sense of loss and grief experienced when a precious equine partner passes away and a treasure like this is a lovely way of remembering memories made together. These items may also be created for horse-lovers while the animal is still alive and this can make an original gift for a friend or family member.

There are many different items that can be made from such a sample. Necklaces, bracelets and key chains are some of the most common items. The sample is usually used to create a braid. This forms the chain and then other items may be attached to it, from pendants of silver to charms, crystals and even precious stones. Sometimes the sample is encased in a resin toggle and attached to a silver or gold chain.

Many of the suppliers of these items have a love of horses themselves. This means that they usually put a great deal of care and attention into their creations, knowing how special they are to the recipients. They often offer additional services as well, such as a certificate giving the name of the animal from whose tail the item was made or a memorial on a website.

It is possible to place orders with online suppliers. As there are many people offering this service, it is important to read online reviews to find out what other customers have experienced. Going online also offers the opportunity of looking carefully through all the choices offered, comparing prices and making an informed decision.

Many different styles are available and you are sure to find one that suits you. Necklaces may have the sample braided in different ways and all sorts of pendants are used, from precious stones to silver hearts. You may be able to select a bracelet made with silver or gold and some have silver tubes that can be engraved. Key chains are offered with different charms like horseshoes attached.

Suppliers give instructions on how to collect a sample, from how much is needed and how long it needs to be. They suggest that it should be clipped from where the tailbone ends and a sample the thickness of a pencil is usually sufficient. Different lengths are required, depending on the item selected. For example, a necklace will require a much longer sample than one used for a key chain. A rubber band is used to bind the sample, rather than tape or string and most suppliers offer to clean it themselves.

Various details are requested on order forms. Apart from the usual basic details, you will often be requested to give some information about your animal too such as whether it has passed on or is still living. This helps to make the whole process more personal. For making of a bracelet, you will need to provide some measurements of the wrist size.

Horse hair jewelry provides a way of remembering those special moments with a treasured friend. These items are affordable to most and make a lovely gift for a horse-loving friend or family member. Although nothing can replace an equine partner, many customers testify that wearing such a memento helps to provide some form of comfort in remembering the treasured memories made together.
