正規品 パンプス 新着 - Wow! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on
a entirely different subject but it has pretty much the
same page layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!

Stephanie C. - I got a necklace with my families names on it from Lisa Lenard but it was before my second baby. I need an updated one for sure!

staci torgerson - I would love to win a giftcard. I sing ‘you are my sunshine’ to my girls and have since they were born 8 & 6 yrs ago and would live to give them the necklaces to always remember our special bond.
I have 2 special pieces of jewelry. One is my grandmother’s brooch she always wore when going out and the grandmother for whom both of my girls are named after. My 2nd piece is a spoon lady that I had commissioned just before my mother in law passed away from a struggle with cancer. Her name is stamped on one of the legs. I adore this piece and will always cherish it as much as I cherish the sweet, kind & generous lady that raised my husband into the gentleman and best father there ever was.

Dena Smiley - my grandmother’s engagement ring! it’s from the 20’s and is so super detailed. it fits my very small fingers- bonus! I see the style coming back. she actually gave it to me while she was still living so it was even more special because she could see the joy I had receiving it!

Mary N. - My great-grandmother’s wedding ring. I am named after her. It is just a simple gold band with a little “clump” of gold melted on the front. Kind of primitive and a little bent probably from all the hard work she did with her hands. I cherish it and wish I had known her.

amy - my engagement ring. we’ve been married 10 years but I still love to look at the ring and remember the exciting time when he proposed.

Alise - My purity ring I received from my parents in 8th grade when I was confirmed into our church 🙂

Mallory - I only own one piece of jewelry – my wedding ring.. With everything going on, crafts let alone jewelry are not possible for us but her stuff is really dreamy.

Mandi - My most meaningful pieces of jewelry are:
1. My wedding rings
2. A set of pearls my dad gave me when I graduated college.
I love them both so much!

cristi clothier - My most treasured pieces of jewelry are both of my Grandmothers wedding rings.

Heidi Durant - Each year, our family draws names for Christmas . One year, my son, Bosston, drew my name. He kept telling me he wanted to buy me a diamond. Our budget that year was smaller, due to economy and such, so we allotted each person $5 to buy a gift for their person. Bosston was so excited to buy me a diamond. It’s actually a giant pearl. A piece of costume jewelry from the jewelry department at walmart. I love it. Mostly because he loves it so much. Every Sunday, I wear it to church. Every Sunday, he has to show any and everyone the “diamond” he bought for his mom!!!!

Christin S. - A necklace gold chain necklace with little green hearts that my dad gave my mom when they were dating. 🙂

suzi failing - a diamond ring that was my husbands aunt’s……..
it is my favorite
suzifailing@att.net

rochelle - Definitely my wedding ring <3

Molly L - Eeek!! LOVE Lisa Leonard! Love her site and blog!! My most meaningful piece of jewelry is my wedding band! It reminds me every day of the promise my husband and I made to other seven years ago!

Benay - I have a diamond ring that my husband bought me when HE graduated from physical therapy school. It was a Thank YOU for all the single parenting I did while he was in school.

Kari - My wedding ring is of course the most meaningful to me. But I also love my granny’s pearl necklace. It’s not MY piece of jewelry (belongs to my mom- with three sisters, we have to share) but I wore it to prom and to my wedding and it will always be special to me.

Deeanna - My wedding ring it says forever and ever….. My hubby had it made I love it and the inside it has our wedding date and our first date… I love love it….
Thanks for the chance to when..

Lori - You introduced me to Lisa Leonard and I love her! In fact, I just got a package from her today- something my sister and I ordered for my mom for Christmas. My most meaningful piece of jewelry I received from my Mema. It was a beautiful diamond necklace for when I graduated from high school. Anything from her is special and she was great at picking our jewelry 🙂

Tracie Mayers - Besides my wedding ring, the pearl earrings my mom gave me on my wedding day. Oh and the cross necklace my son/hubby gave me the day we were baptized together. Which coincidentally was also Mother’s Day!,

Kimberly - Actually I own two very meaningful pieces of jewelry! One is a small diamond ring that my grandfather gave me when I was 10 years old. It’s a little solitaire and I treasure it! Also, the year my father passed away, my mother had his wedding ring made into a necklace for me. It hangs sideways, with a bail on top that makes it an pendant. In the middle hangs a blue topaz, my father’s birthstone. I cried so hard when mom gave it to me!

Sandra K - I have to say my wedding ring 🙂

Amber Fussell - My former girl’s minister gave me a necklace based off of Psalm 139 that she used to make us read each bible study. I love it. On it it says Cherished, Chosen, Celebrated, and Created. I love the reminder

Patty - My favorite piece of jewelry are actually 2 bangle bracelets capped off with glass beads. I purchased them in Venice on the best vacation EVER!! Viva Italia!

Kendra - My wedding ring is my favorite, as my husband selected the stone and setting himself. I also have a necklace that says “be fully present” to remind me to enjoy the moments as God gives them.

Sarah - My most meaningful piece of jewelry *is* a Lisa Leonard necklace. I love it and it says “mama” on it. I wear it almost every day. My children finger it when they hug me and my little boy tells me it is *his* favorite piece of jewelry too.

elizabeth - my great, great grandmothers wedding ring from the mid 1800’s. It has the most beautiful opals in it.

Rachel B - After my grandma passed away, my aunt gave me a long gold necklace she had that had little R charms all around. Her name was Roberta, and since I have the only other R name in the family, it was given to me. I think of her every single time I wear it.

Sheridan Eketone - In my early twenties, my brother took me to Egypt on a world trip. We met the most beautiful Egyptian man who had been his mentor when my brother was living in Egypt & learning Arabic. It was the first time I met him & before we left, he gave me the most gorgeous blue beaded necklace. I always treasure it. When he left my brother explained how little resource he had & how beautiful it was that he bought that for me. So.. that is mine… I always think of him & pray Gods blessing on him when I wear it…

Ellie - My favorite is a handstamped cuff with my kids names on it. Would look perfectly paired with the new charm bracelet 🙂

Jane - my most meaningful piece of jewellery is a charm bracelet I had when I was a little girl, it has a collection of charms from all over the place and has so many great memories to go with it!
I just LOVE Lisa’s things, gosh how would I ever choose what to buy if I was lucky enough to win!?!
(thanks SO much for sharing!)

Ellie - The most meaningful piece of jewelry I have is a handstamped cuff with my kids names on it.

Claudia - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is of course my wedding ring but after that a Tiffany and Co. bracelet my husband gave me as an anniversary present. 🙂

mustard seed in
it. so cool.

and thanks for the
chance to win!

julie - two necklaces…each were given to me the days my daughters were born!

M. B. - I love wearing my grandmother’s jewelry.

JustMommer - My Mom passed away a year and a half ago, my dad had died six months before her. I have her engagement and wedding rings, they are so so tiny, and they mean the world to me. I wore them on a chain around my neck when my daughter got married last May. Mom and Dad weren’t there that day, but they were with me.

Brittany - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is my wedding ring. My family tree necklace is my second 😉

Jenn - Besides my wedding ring… probably the necklace my sister in law gave me with the names of my kiddos. I love to have them hanging close to my heart!

Dawn - Besides my wedding ring…..it would be my father’s wedding band. I have worn it since the day of his funeral – 13 years ago. My mother gave it to me. Every time I glance at it, I can picture it on his hand.
*sigh*

Rena - My mother gave me a gorgeous pearl bracelet when I graduate college and it makes me smile every time I wear it because it reminds me how much she loves me.

Margo - A plastic pink diamond ring my little boy had to buy for me. Love it.

Caitlyn - I have a gold necklace, with a heart from my grandma and a ring everyone in my family got when my sister passed away. I wear it everyday!

Glenda Childers - Besides my wedding ring, I cherish a black heart necklace, that was my moms.
Fondly,
Glenda

Starla Witzki - I have 2 very meaningful pieces of jewelry; my wedding ring and my grandmother’s ring. Of course I cherish my wedding ring but when my grandmother passed away she left me a ring that holds the stones from service pins from her 30+ years with the Kellogg Company from which she retired. I also work for the Kellogg Company, in which I love working for! This ring has two special significances for me 🙂

Sarah - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is most certainly my wedding ring. I will never desire an “upgrade” or a “trade-in” as I’ll always want to have closest to me the first rings my hubby gave me when we got engaged and married!

Jessica H. - My wedding ring…and besides that a necklace my dad gave me many many valentines ago!

ileana carlile - I have a ring that my mom bought me while we were in Italy together. I LOVE it and the memories that we made together!

Jennifer Cooper - Besides my wedding ring, it would be my grandmother’s sapphire ring. She used to let me wear it when I was little and she gave it to be a few Christmas’s before she died. I wear it on holidays and special occasions.

Meghan Riedstra - My two Pandora braclets and all the charms that I have got for myself or from my boyfriend 🙂

jill - My favorite piece of jewelry is a Lisa Leonard bracelet that had my wedding date engraved on the back of it. I loved it. But I lost it… I would replace it in a heartbeat!
Jillmbarrett@Yahoo.com

Sam Andrews - My engagement ring for sure!

Kari - I would like to say my wedding ring is my most meaningful piece of jewelry. But it’s not. Although I do LOVE my wedding ring, I have a tiny little baby ring that means the world to me. My grandma swears up and down that it was mine when I was little, but my parents say it wasn’t, or that they don’t remember it anyway. It’s just a tarnished little gold colored ring with an N on it. [Another clue that it wasn’t actually mine, since my name does not start with an N]. She gave it to me a few years back and said, “I’ve held on to this for you for so long, it’s one of the only things I’ve been able to keep all this time, and I’m so glad you’re old enough to have it now.” I love my grandma, and even though I have no idea where she picked this ring up… I LOVE IT.

Jessica R - I have a necklace with my 2 kids names hands stamped on it. I get compliments on it almost everyday.

Christy - My wedding ring for sure! 10 yrs later I still love to stare at it 🙂

Rebecca - Would love to own a piece of LL jewelry.
My most precious piece is my Mother’s wedding ring.

Stephanie A. - one of my favorites is my wedding ring ! then i would have to say my next is this sweet little gold heart charm necklace that my grandparents gave me when i was little.

jennibell - the most meaningful piece i own is the necklace my stepdad had made for my mother. when she could no longer wear it she gave it to me. i adored my stepfather.

Cora - My wedding ring and a charm bracelet my husband gave me years ago.He has added charms to it for special occasions like the birth of our children, anniversaries etc.

Johanna - One is a necklace my uncle made from a tiger eye rock that he polished on a silver chain… and then you think i would say my wedding ring. But it is actually these seagreen austrian beads that I turned into earrings (and not fancy by any means… but I wear them all the time, with everything). And I think of my sweet brother who brought them back from Austria for me.

Cathy Shealy - My moms birthstone ring she wore at 17 or 18. A gold band that was either dad’s or grandpa’s and last but not least my own wedding band given to me twenty one years ago

Cathy Shealy - My mom’s birthstone ring that she was wearing in a picture of her at 17 or 18. My siser and I inherited two gold wedding bands the same width same size and one was dad’s and one was grandpas so we each got a golf band and don’t know whose was whose. And last but not least my own wedding ring.

Ashley - My wedding band and engagement ring would be my most meaningful. It symbolizes the love my husband and I share, along with the struggles we’ve overcome. It’s a symbol of strength and delicacy to me.

Karen W - The most meaningful piece of jewelry I own is my sapphire ring. My fiance gave it to me before the engagement ring but it means so much more. It’s the first piece of jewelry he ever gave me and I wore it so much it had to be repaired twice that first year. Even thOugh it is something I never would have picked for myself it’s perfect and I will always love it!

Stacey - My husband gave me a ring with our family’s names/birthstones….I love love love it!

ERIKA - A gold braclet my aunt in Germany gave me its the symbol of munich. She gave it for my 6th birthday that I celebrated over there.

Laura M - I own a sterling silver daisy necklace from Tiffany’s. It was pretty inexpensive for that store, but my husband really stretched our budget when he bought it right when we were out of college… but it’s most precious to me because I wore it through all three births. I pretty much wear it everyday for more than 8 years now.

abigail - A cheap heart necklace that my son bought me from his school christmas store last year when he was in kindergarten. it probalby cost $5 but the look on his face when he gave me this precious gift he picked out was the best gift I could ever have received. I love how proud he is when I wear it.

Ellen Patton - I love my grandmother’s wedding band (she got married in 1926). I love that it twists around my finger just like it did on hers.

Karen - I love my Lisa Leanord itty bitty hearts necklace with my children’s initials. Would love to add some of her new gold jewelry to my collection!

Andrea - I used to own a beautiful pair of half a carat diamond earrings which were a gift from my grandma. She received them from my grandpa when she retired from teaching. I loved them and wore them all the time. I made sure to get them reset with screwbacks. It was a good idea, until one fell out of my ear on January 6th. I was devastated, heartbroken and just plain emotional, as I was also scheduled to return to work after being home for 4 months with my daughter.
One week after returning to work, I lost te diamond in my wedding ring, which was my mom’s diamond. Two special diamonds lost in two weeks, while doing the hardest thing ever- going back to work. So, now my other earring is in my ring. I never had the heart to tell my grandma And get sick tho log about it, 4 year later. That one diamond means so much to me, still.

gillianjwoodward@gmail.com - After some thought, I would have to say my high school class ring. My best friends mom gave her, her class ring the first month of our senior year. I thought that was the sweetest thing. My mom never graduated from high school so I never had the chance to have that same type of exchange. So at that point, I decided to make a tradition of my own, I worked 2 jobs while in high school to pay for my ring, It was the first thing of value I ever bought myself. Now that I am a mom, I can’t wait until my daughter turns 15 so I can give my ring to her.

S - probably my wedding ring, not only because of the commitment and love it represents but my hubby choose it out himself so I love it that much more because it really represents him…and I LOVE him!:)

Helena - My Lisa Leonard ring! It has our wedding date and child’s birth date engraved – I never take it off!

jacqui anderson - I love rings …. all sorts of rings! So mine would be the gorgeous platinum diamond band thats my wedding ring and a goregous gold and coral ring that my 6 year son picked out for me that cost less than $15 but he thought i would love it and I do and everytime I wear it, he smiles xx

Jan A - My husband suprised me with a new wedding band on our 30th wedding anniversary.

Alisha - I have a silversmith that I LOVE and my husband and I had her make a (new) wedding band for me that has our initials on it. We took the original stones from my wedding ring and had them put on it. I LOVE this ring. It’s unique and screams my personality and I know no one else has one like it!!!

Debby - That would be my wedding ring, along with two others.
I know the wedding band is obvious but as someone who didn’t marry until I was 31, not only does it represent my Mr. Right, but it took a whole lot of toads to get to that point!!!
The other two also represent my family unit. After the miscarriage of my only pregnancy, my husband gave me an angel charm with an amethyst, the birthstone of February, the month I lost our “Simon”. And he also gave me a charm of a dog, which is our precious shelter mutt that nursed me thru’ that grief and became my “baby.”

val - A cross necklace my husband had made for me years ago… in the middle of the cross is my birthstone, the top of the cross has his birthstone, and the other three parts of the cross each have the kid’s birthstones. It’s one of a kind!

Lauren - My wedding ring is tied with my grandma’s ring that grandpa gave her for their 23rd wedding anniversary

Stacy - Mine would be my wedding ring!

Julie - OH my goodness………….the most precious piece of jewelry that I have besides my wedding ring is a pin my Dad gave to me one Christmas before he passed away. My older sister went shopping with him and together they picked out a different Christmas pin for each one of us (I have 3 sisters!)! But HE picked them……….she had suggested different items through the store but she said HE knew right away the pins were it! Mine is a cute little cat with a wreath around it’s neck and as I am thinking of it right now I am feeling a little teary! It is silver and I am 100% sure it did not cost a whole lot of money back then but to me it is priceless! He passed away 11 years ago and to every year I look forward to getting it out and pinning it on my coat or sweater. It looks old-timey but I don’t care because for some reason people always ask me about it, knowing that it looks old! I tell them it was a gift from the most wonderful man that I knew! MY DAD! Oh Christmas is just that time of year that is SO special! Thank you for letting us have so much fun reading your blog………….your kids have the same kind of childhood that I had and that my boys (I try) have, also! (When you have all boys they just don’t want to sit as much as what my sisters and I use to do for crafts, etc! LOL!) Have a BLESSED CHRISTMAS!

Maria - My wedding ring, for sure!

Jen - I have the ring that my grandfather gave to my grandmother for their 50th wedding anniversary. They were married for 60 years before she died.

Joleen - Beside my wedding ring, it would be my lisa leonard necklace with my boys names on it, love it!!

Tiffany B - Of course my most meaningful piece of jewelry is my wedding ring, cherish it for sure. But if I had to pick another it would be my grandfather’s wedding ring. Love it and cherish it as well! LOVE LISA LEONARD!

Analia - My wedding set is my favorite. It means a lot because I had lost my first ring and my husband got on his knees when he presented me with my “new” ring and made it all so special!

Jen D. - An opal ring from my grandmother!

Elizabeth - My Grandma had this pearl ring that she used to wear and the pearl would spin around (wasn’t supposed to do that). Anyway, I used to sit next to her and spin that pearl around and around. When I got a little older, she had the pearl fixed and replaced but gave me the ring (with the old pearl) I cherish it simply for the memories!

Olivia - my pink watch that my grandpa gave me on our last visit.

rkokes - besides my wedding ring, my favorite piece my necklace from Lisa Leonard. I have the rain or shine necklace, and I LOVE it! My daughter has wanted a necklace like it ever since she saw mine, and I would love to get her her very own. 🙂

Hannah S. - My wedding ring!

Lisa Lichterman - My wedding ring and my moms wedding band are my two most meaningful jewelry pieces. Also a pendant necklace that recited the 10 Commandments that my grandma gave me. It is so unique and special. Sorry…that’s 3. I can’t follow rules well – lol!

Tasha - Other than my wedding ring, I have an inexpensive Avon ring that was my husband’s grandmother’s. She was the coolest grandma ever and wearing it always reminds me of her and how I want to age as gracefully as she did.

Stephanie - My engagement ring of course…but I do have a very sentimental piece that I will forever cherish. When my grandmother passed away I was given her 18k gold bangle bracelet that my grandfather had given to her. She wore it everyday and never took it off. It’s priceless!

Suzi - My wedding ring is the most special to me for sure! A close second is a necklace with my 3 girls’ initials on it (Q, R, S)!

kat - I have two: one is a silver moonstone ring my mother gave me. I was taken away from her when I was 15 and she gave it to me as a graduation gift. We were still on very rocky terms then, but that she thought of me made it special. The other is a butterfly necklace my husband got me. It is the first (and only) piece of jewelry that he has ever picked and purchased for me because he knows how picky I am. 🙂

Stacy - My wedding ring is my most cherished piece of jewelry. A close second is the necklace with my three daughters names on it. I wear both pieces every single day.

Beth in Utah - I LOVE Lisa Leonard. (I’m asking for the charm bracelet for Christmas!!)
My most meaningful piece of jewelry is my engagement ring. Priceless!

Maylene - My wedding ring of course! Other than that I don’t have really any other special jewelry, except a few costume pieces. Maybe someday 🙂

Amy - My engagement ring. I can’t wear it anymore because we were so young, but I look at it every day! 🙂 LOVE Lisa Leonard! I send a *hint hint* link to my hubby at least once a month!

Caterina - My father would wear some amazing rings that had different stones on them. As a little girl I remember studying my father’s hands. Long lean fingers, but strong. Every time he would switch out a ring, I would ask what stone it was or if the ring had a story. I would ask to try it on. So big on my skinny little finger. One ring in particular was my favorite….A tiger’s eye stone surrounded in a gold band. Years later, my father gave me that ring remembering how much I admired it. Every time I wear it, it is a childhood memory that is treasured.

Meredith - Other than my wedding ring, it is an engagement solitaire ring that my son gave me when he was six for Christmas. He was so excited to give it to me. It came in a little red velvet box with a heart on it. He was so excited when he brought it home from school (bought at the student holiday shop for $3), telling my Mom and Sister about the ring he brought them to tears as he did me on Christmas morning. Love my Jack.

donna - I started charm bracelets for me and my girls when we lived in England. I colleted charms from every country we visited in Europe! And of course – my wedding ring 🙂 I love Lisa Leonard!!!!!

Melissa - I have a pair of earrings my grandmother gave me- at the opening of the mall when I was 10, I put my grandma’s name in the drawing and she WON!!! Diamond earrings!

Elizabeth - My most meaningful jewelry are my necklaces that my four year old son picks out for me for all of my birthdays. I have 3 now, and they are perfect. My husband takes him shopping to pick out a new piece of jewelry and he always has amazing taste.

Juanita - My engagement and wedding rings. 🙂

Melissa Hermon - My mom’s wedding ring. She passed away 11 yrs ago and it is such a great reminder of her.

Barbara (WA) - Sadly, my most meaningful jewelry was stolen ~ my grandmother’s engagement ring. I hadn’t been wearing it because diamond was loose. I’d worn it for years and wish I’d gotten it repaired. Actually, twice in my adult life I’ve had my jewelry stolen so now I keep my best pieces in odd places.

anonymous - I think the most meaningful pieces are the ones that I no longer have…I thought I could not part with them as I loved them so much but they taught me that they are just things and the bonds of the people associated with them will always be just as strong with or without the piece of jewelry.

Lennie Jackson - Of coarse I adore my wedding ring. I also have the family tree piece by Lisa that I adore and wear almost everyday. Another piece that I love it the flower necklace by Allora Handmade. I have the turquoise one and it is one of my favs also. Jewelry is amazing!!!

Jana - My mom died recently. My sister and I split her wedding rings, so I have the engagement ring and my sister has the wedding band. I wear it every day and treasure the value my parents placed on marriage. Each time I slip it on I am reminded of long suffering, sacrificial and deep love my parents had for each other and that I strive to share with my husband.

robbie - The locket I wear that has a baby picture of my daughter on one side and her current picture on the other. A sweet reminder to make every moment count as life moves fast.

Kristen - Definitely my wedding band. My husband bought me a beautiful engagement ring that I loved staring at but when it came time to choose a wedding band I wanted it simple and not hidden under the engagement ring. It’s just a plain band, slightly wider than my engagement band, but it’s definitely the most meaningful piece I own.

Meagan S - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is a cross necklace from Mexico. My parents bought it for my grandma who didn’t wear much jewelry but she wore the necklace all the time. When she passed away I was given the necklace. I also don’t wear a lot of jewelry but that necklace makes me feel like my grandma is still around.

Ellie - The most precious piece of jewelery that I own is a beaded necklace made by my four year old over 25 years ago. I wear it at least three times a year since it was made by her when she was hospitalized as a wee one. She is now a hospice social worker specializing with sick and dying children and the necklace reminds me of the journey we shared together and how precious life truly is.

Linda - My Lisa Leonard necklace with my son’s name was my most treasured piece of jewelry, but sadly I lost it.

Durencourt - I got married a little over a month ago and my grandma, who is 89 let me borrow some of her diamonds… I wore a set of earrings with little flower clusters and a matching necklace. The next morning she told me the story of my grandpa giving her those on their first Christmas together, over 70 years ago! When she finished her story she had tears in her eyes and said that she was giving them to me!

Jess - A few years before my grandmother passed in 1995, she gave me a leather lion king watch and I was over the moon for it! ( I was in elementary school) and I still have it in a keepsake box because it was first special piece of jewelry!

Jess - Like most others… my wedding band holds a pretty high value to me! But aside from the obvious, I have a white gold necklace that my husband bought me before we were even dating in college! No one had ever done that, and he had taken my two little sisters and they picked out what they thought I’d love the most. It was such a sweet, thoughtful gesture and I will always cherish it!

Susan C. - By far, my most meaningful piece of jewelry would be my wedding ring.

Robin Anderson - After giving birth to both of my sons, my husband bought me a piece of jewelry with their birthstones on them and presented them to me at the hospital. I wear the necklace and ring nearly every day to remind me of two of the most special days of my life.

Michelle - My wedding ring is the most important piece of jewelry to me. It’s treasured so much!

Tami - My wedding rings of course, but also my claddaugh necklace. Blessings, Tami

Amy - I have a necklace with baby feet that I wore as I prayed for the child I would adopt (before I knew who he was!). He’s here now, and the necklace is a great reminder of God’s faithfulness!

TonyaElise - My engagement ring. It is extra special to me not just for the obvious reason, but because the diamond in it was my grandmother’s.

Tracie - My dad lost his sister when I was in college. For a special gift, he and my mom had her engagement ring reset and resized for me. Every time I wear it, I think of my aunt and how much she loved me.

Keli - my wedding bands, of course!:)

Julie G - My mums wedding ring is my favourite. Unfortunately it doesn’t fit me as she had lovely fine fingers – maybe it’ll fit my daughter when she’s old enough!! Don’t you just love jewellery that can be passed on.
Julie

Jody - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is my wedding ring. I accidentally lost my first one (stupid story), but that summer a few terrible things happened to me and my husband lovingly let me pick me out another one that I adored even more. And after three children IT STILL FITS! Yahoo!

Andrea R. - There’s the obvious ~ my wedding ring. But after that there are two pieces that are tied. I have a mother’s ring with the birthstone of my children & my husband. I also have a necklace that my husband designed for me one year for Christmas when we weren’t supposed to be getting each other gifts. It’s beautiful and well thought out.

Kari - My wedding rings, not because of their value or beauty, because of what they represent….

Lin - My most precious piece of jewelry is the first mother’s day present I got – a silver ring with a shell-shaped grouping of small diamonds on top. Inside it says “Mom” in filligree. My mother gave it to me, saying my then 11 month old daughter had picked it out all by herself. I don’t take it off. Lisa Leonard’s pieces are beautiful.

wendyemorris@gmail.com - I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Lisa Leonard
My most precious piece is my engagement and wedding ring – the one ring that my husband and I designed in 1975 using 9 ct white gold and a small oblong green sapphire – it cost $180 and it was money he had got from selling 20 beehives!!
but i still love anything from Lisa !!
thanks

Helen Shields - My late Nana’s engagement ring, it is too worn down now to wear as she never took it off her finger, I love that I have a piece of her with me. Loving the chance to win, Lisa’s work is divine

Jamie - my family tree necklace {by lisa}

Jamie - wowzers! super generous giveaway! absolutely love lisa’s work!

Kerry - I love her pieces and her story!! My husband bought me a piece last year for Christmas and I love it!!

Kate R - Oh, I love Lisa’s beautiful things too! My grandmother gave me a ring for my graduation and engagement that her mother-in-law (my great-grandmother) had given her. It is a beautiful old filigree piece and very precious to me.

Karyno - Absolutely my wedding ring. But I also have my late grandmother’s engagement ring, and that means the world to me. I wear it every day.

Beth - The most meaningful jewelry I own, besides my wedding rings, is actually from Lisa!
In December of 2010, just 4 days before Christmas, my precious daddy was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Daddy gave us all money that Christmas, and with mine I bought the Little Lady necklace and had “Bethy” stamped on it. (That was what he called me.) I also bought her pearl earrings to match. I wore those pieces for over a year after I put them on…Daddy died two months after he was diagnosed.

Denise - a $1 seashell ring my husband gave me when we were first dating. It’s broken now but I still keep it as a reminder of falling in love!

Courtne Huffman - Besides my wedding rings, when I was 10, my parents were divorced and decided to re-marry. They gave me and my other 3 sisters a little gold ring as a promise to us that we would stay together as a family. It’s way too small now to wear, but something I treasure to this day.

Jennifer - Besides the obvious, my engagement ring and wedding band (family heirloom), I’d say this gorgeous string of Mikimoto pearls my husband totally surprised me with several years ago. He had wanted to get me some for awhile, unbeknownst to me, and got a bonus one April and decided to buy them. The night her presented them to me he was late getting home, I was so mad – boy did I feel stupid when he pulled out a blue bag and I opened the box!

Daina Funk - My sister in law and I were given matching sister necklaces by a friend of hers. We live far away from each other and we are experiencing some really difficult family situations….being able to wear my matching necklace when we are so far away makes me thankful for the gift given to each of us…..
Daina Funk
My engagement ring and wedding ring and one year anniversary rings are a given….

Emily - I have a red and white beaded necklace that was my grandmother’s from the 1930s. I never knew her so it feels special when I wear it close to my heart. It actually broke when I was wearing it at work one day. Luckily all the beads spilled down the front of my shirt. (I was huge and preggo at the time so I had AMPLE cleavage!) I’ve since restrung the necklace with “modern” stringing materials.
Thanks for this awesome giveaway…

Jenny Wenzel - One of my treasured favorites is a tiny diamond necklace I got on my honeymoon…such wonderful memories!

Jena Selph - My husband bought me two rings that stack. Each one has my girl’s birthstones and diamonds alternating. I wanted something special for me to pass down to each of them. Thank you for such a great giveaway! ~Jena

Tricia - My wedding ring, of course!

jennifer - i had a spoon ring that my mother bought for me when i was 13 years old…i wore it until my daughter turned 13 then it became hers, she now has a 9 month old baby girl that i hope one day will be as happy to receive that ring from her mother as i was to receive it from mine…

Mary P - While I treasure my wedding ring, the piece of jewelry that’s closest to my heart is a “necklace and earrings” my son made for me out of construction paper when he was 4. It’s a mess of paper and tape but I will have them till the day I die.

Melissa - I maybe should say my wedding set, but it’s actually a cheap chain with a bunch of charms that have a special meaning. I have a whale, a mickey mouse head with my initial, a hand with the sign language shape for “I love you”, the initials of my kids, and an angel wing because my husband has always called me “the princess of angels”. So there you have it!

Agnieszka - I don’t have any “serious” jewelry. I guess the one that is most meaningful would be a beaded necklace I got in San Francisco’s Chinatown. It brings back good memories of our family vacation. We didn’t have any real vacation in few years so I cherish those memories.

misty - I didn’t get a senior ring because my family couldn’t afford it at the time… the summer after I graduated my grandma had managed to save enough $ to buy me a white gold ring with a small diamond and sapphire for my ‘senior ring’ I can’t believe all of the things my grandma had to sacrifice in order to buy it for me because they just had enough $ to cover bills each month…. I graduated 11 years ago & still wear it today. It means the world to me.

Crystal L - A sapphire ring that was my grandmothers– I wear it everyday. She bought it when she became a teacher with her first paycheck– now, I am a teacher and I wear it everyday to remind me of her and the lessons she taught me.

Jo - A pin my son made for me in grade school.

Ruth - this summer i picked up a bright green necklace made up of big wooden beads and wooden PARROTS. it was from chinatown in bangkok and cost next to nothing but it has become the only piece of jewellery i consistently travel with. it’s always a conversation starter (i quickly learned how to say ‘parrot’ in hindi), and it makes me feel confident and happy 🙂 because bright green parrots, come on, that’s happy!

Erin - A beaded necklace my grandmother gave me that was her mothers. It’s beautiful and makes me feel connected to both of them.

Joy - My favorite piece of jewelry is my engagement ring. It’s beautiful and constantly reminds me that my husband loves me!

Mae - My anniversary band. Through 16 years of marriage there have been a lot of highs and some very dramatic lows. It represents the covenant that we have worked very hard to maintain.
Love that Lisa Leonard! 🙂

megan k - The Claddagh ring my husband got for me when we were dating. Pretty special for its meaning and that he gave it to me when we were “kids”. Love Loyalty and Friendship!!

katie - A necklace given to me in the hospital by my birth daughter’s adoptive parents right after I handed them their daughter 🙂

Kiley - my most meaningful piece of jewelry would have to be my engagement ring. it was my husband’s great-great aunt’s ring that was handed down to him.

Jenn B - My favorite piece of jewelry is an amethyst and diamond necklace that used to be my grandma’s.

Tiffany - My pearl earrings of course. They’re classic, eye-catching, and used to be my mother’s. Who doesn’t believe that jewelry that’s been passed down isn’t the most beautiful?

lora - My wedding ring!

Christie Smith - My wedding ring, I never take it off, it’s with me everyday. I’m very happily married.

Jill - I love my Lisa Leonard family tree necklace!! Would love to win another piece!

Tara - I have a necklace from Dillon Rodgers with both my girl’s names on it…wear it every.single.day. 🙂

Momof2 - Easy question….my wedding ring. 10 years this summer!!! We were married in August and he was deployed through the military the next month. The ring is all I had of him for one year……it is very dear to my heart.

Jamie - I have a ring with my son’s footprints…he only lived 6 hours so I love having a piece of him with me. <3 <3

Renee - Of course I love my engagement and wedding rings best. But next to those, I cherish a ring my Dad designed and had made for me when I was a teenager. It has his favorite color stone (rubies for red) and mine (sapphires for blue). I loved his creativity!!

Ashley - i have this teeny diamond solitaire necklace and earrings that were mine when I was a little girl. I have always kept them and look forward to giving them to my daughters someday soon.

Lauren - My wedding ring, it’s really the only jewelry I own, so I could definitely use this prize. 🙂 I love her jewelry, I’ve had a wishlist on her site for over a year, just waiting for my hubby to get me something. Maybe I’ll need to buy myself something in the end. 🙂

Michele - My Mikimoto pearl earrings. They were a splurge and I save up while in college and bought them for myself. I wore them to my wedding and every day occasions. I love those earrings!

tinaehb3 - my wedding rings! i just ordered my first piece from her…it’s an ornament for my mother for Christmas and it’s beautiful!

s - My grandmother’s watch and my wedding rings.

julia - Three things…my wedding band. It’s by James Avery and I love it. My diamond earrings from my husband’s grandmother. Each diamond is a great, great grandmother’s engagement ring. And my silver cuff my dad gave me.

Laura in LA - A cross bracelet that matches a necklace my mom wears. I love Lisa too, so creative!!

Margo - My “God is Bigger” necklace – reminds me that through Him I can do all things.

Marita - A ring I bought in Germany. I love it, and it brings back so many memories!

Zoe - Engagement/wedding ring of course is the most special, but I always smile when I wear the tiny silver elephant earrings my husband bought for me when he was deployed to Thailand and I jokingly told him to “bring me home an elephant!”

Prudence - I love Lisa too! I got to meet her at The Creative Connection, first year… she bought one of my Lollibag’s, very sweet lady. Everyone is saying wedding band and I do cherish mine also, but I’ll be different and say my Hawaiian bracelet. My hubby is born and raised in hawaii and it’s tradition to have a hawaiian bracelet and pass them down to your daughters. I only have one, but 3 daughters… but with the price of gold now, doubt I’ll be getting any more!

Nicole V. - Silly as it sounds my pearl necklace from my mother-in-law. I always admired her as a mother and the pearls just seem to be a symbol of being a classy mommy with her act together. After I found out I was pregnant with our first child, she said I didn’t need to borrow her necklace anymore but it was time to have my very own.

Breeanna @ a brilliant melody - My wedding ring, not only because it’s my wedding ring, but because it belonged to my husband’s grandma, and I feel so blessed to wear a part of his families memories!

Vanessa Martinez - love my lisa leonard with the word: heal

Vanessa Martinez - I love my lisa leonard necklace wuth the word: healed!

Beth - I would love this!!

katie - my engagement ring is a sturdier copy of my great great grandmother’s ring.

Amanda Larkins - Hands down, my wedding ring is my favorite piece.

Amanda - Last year (and this year, haha) my husband and I were really hard up for cash. We had skimped on all the holidays and birthdays that presents would usually come with. Randomly, and without provocation, he came home one day with a beautiful necklace. It was the first jewelry he bought me in our marriage other than my wedding rings, and I when I see it it makes me so happy to think of our love and life together.

Brittany - My wedding ring, but I also still have the promise ring my husband gave me when we were in middle school. It’s dented and has a chip of a diamond, but I love it.

Sabrina - My engagement ring… my husband picked it out all by himself and it is perfection!

AmandaK - I have a locket from my mom that she had put a picture of herself as a little girl in. Love it, and treasure it completely.

jhdevereaux@comcast.net - I have my Grandmas locket that has my Moms teeth marks on it from when she was a little girl and would try to open it. I never met my Grandma but it makes me feel connected to her when I look at it.

Claudia - My treasure is an aquamarine ring my dad had given to my mom many years ago. She gave it to me shortly before she died last winter. She knew I always loved it. I wear it next to my wedding band.

Eliece - My favorite most meaningful piece aside from my wedding ring is an intertwining pair of rings similar to Lisa’s with my children’s names on them. I wear it everyday.

Tania K - I have a necklace with my kids and husband’s name. Kids around daddy’s name 🙂

Emily W. - My most meaningful pieces of jewelry are the two gold bands with sapphires that my mom gave me when I got married. Sapphire is our shared birthstone, and I was married in September as well. They were her wedding and anniversary bands. They are priceless to me.

rachel beverlin - Definitely my wedding ring! But besides that, the diamond necklace my dad gave me when I got married. Very special!

Kori - My Grandma decided a few years ago that she needed to start cleaning out her closests and drawers. While cleaning out her dresser she came across all of her old costume jewelry. She didn’t want it any longer, but I thought it was all beautiful (okay, most of it). She gave it to me and while most of it is well worn and shows its age I love wearing it knowing that when my Grandma was my age, dealing with all that life brings us at this age no matter what decade it is, that she was wearing the same thing.

Amy Reed - I love my wedding rings and I wear my grandmas ring as well. I love my Lisa Leonard necklace with all our families names.

Erin - Besides my wedding ring, of course, my favorite piece is a charm bracelet with 6 charms on it. Three of the charms…two pairs of baby girl shoes and one pair of baby boy shoes…my hubby bought for me the days we found out which kind of sweet baby we were going to be having a few months down the road. And the other three charms were given to me the first Mother’s Day after each of my three babies were born…all of them different and signifying something special about each child. Love it! Thanks for the chance to win!

Lori - My wedding ring is the most precious, both in value and “specialness” —-it’s actually the only real jewelry I own and I cherish it and the 29 years with the man who gave it to me.

julie - Besides my wedding rings, I would say my grandmother’s silhouette charm bracelet. It has the silhouette of each of her children and grandchildren’s heads with their birthdates on the backs of each.

Anj - Well, my wedding ring of course, but aside from that I would have to say a pair of vintage clip-on earrings. Bright oranges and pinks, most people would probably think they’re hideous!! But they are so “me”, and they remind me every time I wear them to stay true to my style and surround myself with whatever makes me feel fabulous.

Megan J - I have a charm bracelet that wa started when I was young. It started on my first Communion when I was 7 years old. Then I have a charm from every dace recital and every play I was in….The Wizard of Oz, Nutcracker,Annie…then has continued with charms for my wedding and my 2 kids. LOVE it. I don’t weat if often, but when I do- I LOVE it.

Joy - My wedding rings are my favorite!

Marla - my wedding ring…it has my grandma’s diamond from her wedding band

Sandy - I don’t wear a lot of jewelry other than my wedding rings. However, one priceless piece that I have is my grandmother’s class ring from high school.

Barb - My wedding ring <3

Keshet.starr@gmail.com - my wedding ring:)

Shelby A. - My own wedding ring is important to me of course, but my mom passed down my great-grandma’s wedding band to me a few years ago for Christmas, and it means so much that she would share it with me. It reminds me of the strong legacy of love that the women in my family have for each other every time I wear it!

Debbie - I cherish my wedding rings and my grandmother’s pearl ring.

Melanie - I have a metal allergy! So I have a hard time finding jewelry that I can wear without getting a rash. sad trombone. However, I keep on my dresser a ring of my mother’s that she got in high school and I just adore its 70s charm.

Jodi Peck - Hi, My wedding rings, because of what they mean! I also received a really beautiful bracelet from my oldest sister on my wedding day–that
I love. And I also wear my grandmother’s (my Mugga) birthstone ring and when I look at it think of her. So take your pick!

Shannon Burch - My wedding rings!

Jill Denton - I have jewelry that belonged to both of my grandmothers– each piece is very meaningful and sentimental. But the piece of jewelry that carries the greatest amount of meaning has to be my wedding ring simply because it symbolizes the covenant of marriage between me and my husband.

Morissa - My wedding ring…my hubby had it for TWO months before he asked me to wear it! 🙂

Morissa - My wedding ring. My hubby had it for TWO months before he finally asked me to wear it. :)t

Anita - I don’t have much “real” jewelry, and I have to agree with the many others who count their wedding band as their most meaningful–and I’ve worn it everyday for 27 years!!

Marilyn Gregory - I have a charm I bought that has a black heart on it and it has the date 2011.
My Mom died in 2011 and 78 days later my Dad died. What a reminder my charm is when I look at it. They were 93 and 90 years old and had been married for 65 years. It is so sad they are gone, but what a long wonderful life they lived. So when I see my charm I am reminded of that wonderful life!

elizabeth - my grandmothers wedding ring. I love to wear it and when I look at my hand, I can visualize her hand .

Suzanne - I would have to say my wedding ring!! I absolutely love it!

Kristin - My turquoise ring my grandmother gave me. So unique and special to me.

Audrey - My wedding ring, of course! And then my Lisa Leonard Tiny Initials necklace with my 3 kiddos’ initials. <3

Diana Yarborough - A

Diana Yarborough - I had a simple silver bracelet that I loved because it was my present on my first Mother’s Day 11 years ago. I lost it in the last year – the clasp was loose and it must have fallen off. I would love to replace it with a special bracelet from Lisa’s beautiful collection.

Stephany W. - On my 21st birthday, my mom gave me the ring that my dad gave her on the day I was born. I hope to pass it to my daughter on her 21st!

Leann - I have several pins from when I was a little girl. Each pin is a miniature version of a pin that my Grandma had. We would wear them when I would spend the day with her. I love to look at them and remember those special days. I am so glad that I still have my Grandma who will be 90 in January! I would love to use this gift card to buy her a special piece from Lisa Leonard.

Kristi Lindholm - The most meaningful piece of jewelry is my wedding ring. 21 years and counting married to my best friend.

Katie - pearls.
My husband left two weeks ago for a deployment in Afghanistan. Before he left, he gave me a beautiful pearl necklace. It means so much to me.

Deidre Walker - My wedding ring for all that it represents (the wonderful man who gave it to me).

Teresa - My wedding ring would be my first choice. I also cherish my baby locket. My Daddy bought it for me when I was a baby and I wore it 21 years later for my wedding.

Tara Hersh - My wedding ring. It just is so special…

Tina - Besides my wedding ring, which is always special, I have the pair of earrings that my Grammie wore on her wedding day and which I wore on mine. My Grammie had gone up to heaven by then, but she was with me on that day in an extra special way.

Julie, momto7 - I do not wear much jewelry, so my wedding ring has the most significance by far. By I have been eyeballing LL stuff for several years now, and would LOVE to win a gift certificate!

Greta Buehrle - My Great-Grandmother’s ring. I wear it on special occasions!

Angie - The most meaningful piece of jewelry I own is a mother’s bracelet- My husband made it for me on my first mother’s day and added beads each time one of our children was born- my favorite because he put thought and work into it.

Erica anyzeski - My wedding ring 🙂

Gretchen - I have admired her jewelry since you first posted about her stuff. My mother’s garnet flower setting ring. My mother gave it to me after i got married. She wore it for a wedding ring after her original ring was stolen from a house break-in. It’s beautiful anitique gold setting with garnets in a flower style. Dainty, classy and precious.

Donna - My wedding ring, of course, but what is really special to me is the pendant that my grandma wore. It is engraved wtih her name and birthdate….a true treasure for me!

deb - Everyday I wear my grandmother’s amethyst ring. Love it!

tonya - of course, my wedding ring is priceless and irreplaceable, but my hubby gave me a small pair of diamond earrings a few weeks before our wedding. they’re simple and perfect and speak volumes about the man i’ve married 14+ yrs ago.
my favorite “lisa” jewelry is my sign lanuage “i love you” necklace with my kids’ names on it.

Lorraine R. - My engagment ring would be first. We bought a house instead of a diamond and on our 10 anniversary, my love took me away for the weekend and re-proposed and gave me a beautiful diamond <3 Second is my "mothers" ring. I remember my grandmothers ring with it's four beautiful stones representing her four daughters and I knew from a very young age that I wanted a mother's ring some day. Now I have one more stone than my grandmother had. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother, oh and great-grandmother and she passed so much onto me without even realizing it!
I love Lisa Leonoard!!!!!

jill - My wedding/engagement rings are my most important jewelry. Best decision of my life to marry that man! 🙂

Susanna Berry - My husband gave me an antique locket with pictures of my sons in it…most thoughtful gift!

Cindy - WOWSA! Really? I’d just love to win. I had a new baby boy a few weeks ago and I’d love something with his name on it. Right now, my most favorite/special peice of jewelry is my wedding ring. Ive had swollen hands throught my pregnancy and can’t wait til my body is back to normal so I can wear it again. 🙂

Julie - my most meaningful thing is my wedding ring… but i love that my parents bought me pearls as “the last piece of jewelry you will receive before you get an engagement ring.” very special.

Nichole - I have a gorgeous diamond ring that I wear. It has been passed down to every first born daughter. I am the fifth generation to wear it on my mother’s side. I adore it!

Kim - My wedding ring. My husbnad proposed to me in a hot air balloon. I know – I caught a good one :). 23 years. 3 boys later. The ring is still there!

emmeline - Either my wedding/engagement ring (which my husband designed himself) or my grandmother’s engagement ring and anniversary band that I received after she passed away. I can remember being a little girl and admiring her beautiful rings, and I love being reminded of her every day when I put them on.

teresa - My wedding set- given to me 35 years ago…very simple….most women get a new set after so many years… instead of my husband giving me a bigger diamond…each year since we were married he write a romantic poem for me….I would much rather have 35 beautiful romantic poems than another pretty diamond.

jackie - This past year I received my great grandmothers engagement ring, which is a vintage ruby in its original setting. It is beautiful, and a beautiful reminder of her.

Christie - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is definitely my wedding ring, I mean it has the most significance and came from my favorite person ever. But, I do have these amazing puzzle rings that my parents bought me when I was a kid and we lived in the middle east. They remind me of those times together and the amazing opportunity we had to live on the other side of the world. (However, the puzzle rings have come apart and I can’t figure our how to get them back together! HA! So, if anyone has some puzzle ring expertise I would really appreciate it! HAHAHAHA!)

Jennifer R - I would have to say my wedding ring but also the pearl earrings my husband gave me on our wedding day. He sent his brother (the best man) over to the house I was getting ready at and surprised me!

kimmie - i would say my wedding ring! love it 🙂

Jen - A gold heart necklace my husband gave me when we were just two dating 18 year olds.

Antonetta - My mom’s 14K gold charm bracelet that I “stole” from her jewelry box when I moved from NY to Texas. My favorite charm is a desk that has a rotating typewriter in the desk top. She used to be a secretary for a Greek shipping company and my dad gave it to her when they were first married. It is so cute!!! My kids love to play with it when I wear it and ask, “mom, what’s a typewriter?” Funny!

Megan B - My wedding band is most meaningful, but since that is boring, I’ll tell you I also love a necklace I have of a hand making a sign language “X” – for my son, Xander.

Tara - I’d say my wedding ring, for all the obvious reasons. The second piece though, would be my great grandfather’s law school ring that my great aunt and uncle gave me at my high school graduation. I loved the history attached to it, and that they were willing for me to have it. I felt very special and grown up!

Deb L - A gold nugget necklace with a diamond. It is special because my mother took her gold class rings and my fathers gold class rings and had them melted down together to make 3 necklaces for my sister, mother and me. I love it!

Sarah - Most meaningful piece of jewelry? My grandmother’s first engagement ring. A petite diamond-shaped aquamarine stone in a classic gold setting.

Bree - Just a few months before my little boy was born, my husbands Uncle died. He was like a father to my husband, and so needless to say he was heart broken. We gave our little boy the same middle name as hi uncles. After thinking about it, we realized they had the same initials. JWS. The day he was born, his aunt gave me her old “drop” necklace that his uncle had given her. Its gold with his (and my little boys) initials. It touched my heart soo much that she was willing to give that to me, i know it meant so much to her.

Aimee - I think the most meaningful piece(s) of jewelry I own are pieces that used to belong to my Great Grandma. I have her old pearl necklace and recently had it restrung and two of the pearls made into matching earrings. I also have a lovely ring of hers but I think my favorite piece is a little elephant necklace. I love elephants and it makes me think of her whenever I wear it.

Kathie M. - I have a few pieces that are super meaningful…first I have a black brooch necklace that was my Great Grandmother’s! I love it so. Then I have my engagement ring, we were not able to purchase nice rings for our wedding so I have that on all the time. And finally I have a mother’s necklace for my twin boys and it actually has two babies on it! I love those pieces so much!

Molly B - Well, I no longer have my most meaningful piece of jewelry, but that is okay. My grandmother had always promised me her ruby ring, and when she developed Parkinson’s disease, she gave it to me and I was so happy! After she passed away, my brother was struggling with life in general, but then met a wonderful girl, and asked her to marry her. He didn’t have any money, so I offered to let him have the ring to give to her, which he did, and now they are happily married with a beautiful daughter and my brother just finished his Master’s degree! I know my grandmother would approve.
Love your blog, Meg, and hope to someday meet you at a Craft Weekend!

Jamie - my engagement ring and a teardrop diamond necklace from my brother and SIL when I graduated college.

Jenny - I have a gold bracelet with large heart charm on it that has by Grandmother’s wedding and engagement ring (welded??) on to the heart charm. My Grandfather had it made for her for a wedding anniversary and it says “love Stanley” on the back with their anniversary date. She wore it every.single.day and left it to me after she passed away.

Melissa - I have my Grandfather Magnus’ Wedding ring that is engraved. LOVE IT. I love the history and the love behind it. Awww.

Arlene - Thanks for the giveaway, I love Lisa’s jewelry!! My most meaningful pieces of jewelry are my wedding rings and a claddaugh ring my mom gave me when I graduated high school that I still wear everyday!

Lydia - My favorite piece of jewelry is an old, purple cut-glass necklace that belonged to my grandma. We have a picture of her wearing it with a purple polka dot dress in the 50s, a picture of my mom as a little girl in the 60s wearing it with a purple dress, and a picture from the 80s of me wearing it with my purple Easter dress! Last October, my mom gave it to me to wear to Grandma’s funeral, because her only request was that everyone wear purple and no black was allowed! …What a lady!

kristi - I have a ring I wear all the time that says- be happy- on it. it reminds me to find joy, and have a good attitude about things!

Shann - Wow! I love Lisa!! 🙂
The most special piece of jewelry I have is my wedding set. It was my grandmothers. My grandparents married on Valentines Day. Isn’t that sweet? 🙂
Have a lovely day Meg!
Shann

Rebecca - A pearl necklace I have that belonged to my great aunt. A lot of women in my family have worn it. I wore it in my senior picture. And besides all that, it just plain makes me feel classy when I wear it.

Heidi DeGroot - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is my mother and child necklace. My husband gave it to me on Mother’s Day in 2007 and I had just graduated from college the day before. Last year he had our kids’ birthstones added to the inside of the charm. By far this is the most meaningful because my hubby doesn’t usually do things like that for me because he is not a gift person. He would rather take me somewhere and spend time with me or the kids rather than buy me gifts:)

danielle - I would have to say my wedding ring. I am not a diamond kind of girl so I rarely wear my engagement ring!!! I know it is wrong and I am cast out of the girls club…

Leah - I have a simple silver necklace that a friend gave me with a charm that says “Believe.” It’s a great reminder every single time I wear it.

Jen G. - My mommy necklace with my kids’ names. I wear it almost every day!

Stacy M. - My Grandmother’s wedding ring.

Lisa - My wedding ring came to mind first but I also received a necklace from my husband for mothers day and my birthday (they are only a few days a part) from Lisa Leonard Designs. It has all my families names on it. I really love it! There are so many other pieces I would want from her jewelry! Love ALL of it!

Amanda - A star necklace I bought for myself during a pretty difficult time, it reminds me that I’m stronger than I feel sometimes.

Lynn - It would be my wedding ring, followed closley with a Moonstone necklace I received as a college graduation gift.

Beth - It has to be my wedding band!

Kristi Barrett - My wedding ring!

whitneybens@yahoo.com - Definitely my wedding ring. 🙂

Karen D - My most important piece would be my wedding ring. I don’t have any Lisa Leonard pieces but would love to order some new favorites!

Meghan Burch - Aside from my wedding band and engagement ring, I treasure a necklace with my daughter’s name on it and a turquoise necklace I made with beads I bought in New Mexico in college.

Rachel - My wedding ring… it is an antique that came from my husbands family!

Nicole - My best freind who passed away last September gave me a Lisa Leonard necklace that simply states…By Grace Alone. I feel as if she is always with me when I wear it.

Elise - My rings are all very meaningful to me – the aquamarine ring I got for my 18th birthday from my parents, the emerald ring (for my mom’s birthday month) I received for my graduation, and my engagement and wedding rings 🙂

Jana - I wear my grandmother’s wedding ring everyday! I would be lost without it. What a wonderf gift from the most wonderful woman. I miss her so much!

Karen - It would have to be my mothers wedding ring set. It is by no means big or fancy but I just always remember how gret it looked on her small hands. I actually pulled it out the other night and can actually get it on my finger now.

Karen - I’m a Weight Watcher and for every 5lbs I lose my daughter gives me a glass bead for a bracelet she gave me. I’m up to 12 beads now for a total of 60lbs. It centres me when I’m struggling and reminds me how far I’ve come…..I’ve got 8 more beads to go to get to goal.
I’d love to add a piece of Lisa’s for when I reach my final goal.
Karen

Kristin - A handmade necklace from my dearest girlfriend that has my kids names on it. This is meaningful to me because she made it, my kids names are represented and my kids are part of my husband. How’s that for everyone important in one necklace! 🙂

Sarah - The most meaningful piece of jewelry I own is a necklace with my daughter’s silhouette on it (designed by my husband). It also has her initials and birthstone. I love it so much, and I love Lisa’s designs too! I’m sure I would have no problem spending that $100! 🙂

KJL - when my children were born I took an afternoon with my mom and went to a bead shop where I made a bracelet with their names on it. I then added birthstones for everyone in my family…it is a treasure piece!

Liesl - My wedding band because both my husband and I had “P.S. I love You” and our wedding date engraved on the inside. But my other favorite piece of jewelry is my Lisa Leonard necklace with my daughters’ names engraved on it.

Kelly D - my Lisa Leonard brave love necklace with all my boys names on it! love her stuff!

Brady - I love my wedding ring, but on our wedding night, EVEN THOUGH we agreed to NO gifts, my husband had saved up and bought me this little pair of diamond earrings. They weren’t huge or fancy, but he knew I would like them and had saved up for them. They mean so much to me 🙂

Andrea - A ruby heart necklace that my husband gave me (before we married )and said, I was far above rubies in his sight :). I wore it on our wedding day.

sara @ it's good to be queen - obviously my engagement and wedding ring…most precious for sure. also i love my grandma’s ring and a pearl ring that was my mom’s in junior high. also, the ring my husband gave me on my very first mother’s day.
love lisa leonard…what a gem!

Makila - I love Lisa’s jewelry! My favorite(s) are my wedding ring, the sign language I love you necklace my husband gave me when we were dating, my necklace that has the fingerprints of each of my four kids.

Tiffany - My husband’s mom suddenly died at the young age of 54 a couple of years ago. One thing I inherited from her was a silver ring with a “K” on it (her name was Karen). I will always think of her when I look at that ring!

Nicole Francis - I think it would be between my engagement/wedding ring (that my husband picked out for me) and my ruby birthstone ring from my parents when I was a girl. 🙂

Keri - The promise ring I got from my hubby…I received it for Christmas and a couple years later were married!! It’s been 10 great years..:-)

Charly Smith - I can’t pick just one! My garnet vintage ring from my Momma given to me my senior year of high school. My wedding ring…for obvious reasons. My Tiffany’s charm bracelet from my honeymoon in NYC, with an added charm from the following year, titled…it’s a boy. AND my Lisa Lenoard necklace with my son’s name, given to me the day he was born. Yeah…I love it all!

Abbie Swartzentruber - I know everyone is saying wedding band…and of course that is super special to me, too! But I also have the “Mama” necklace from Lisa Leonard…and I AM OBSESSED:) I get compliments on it everywhere I go and wear it all the time. Her jewelry is AMAZING!

Kim Satterfield - my grandmothers wedding rings. she recently passed at the age of 92 and gave me her rings just months earlier. she wore them for 70 years. very precious to me.

lacey poag - such a fan of both you & lisa!!! my wedding rind of course. also my precious gold CROSS silver wide ring from my hunky husband that I wear daily.

Gina T - My wedding ring…it makes me smile when I look at it.

Christy Rose - The ring I wear as my wedding ring is a ring my Grandmother had made out of her engagement ring diamond and the diamonds from my Great-Grandmother’s engagement ring. It is my most prized possession.
I have a beautiful necklace made by Lisa Leonard that my husband kids gave me for Mother’s Day several years ago, it is precious to me, I love her work!

Michelle Whitlow - Lisa’s jewelry is AMAZING!!! My most important piece of jewelry would have to be my engagement ring. My hubby picked it out all on his own & I love it 🙂

Karen - The most meaningful piece I own is my wedding ring. But I have a close 2nd and that would be the mother’s ring my husband gave me years ago. I always wanted one but my children had passed away. When we adopted our oldest my husband gave it to me with he had all my children’s names put on it. Now we have adopted 2 more so I need a new ring. LOL But I was so touched because they were not his children and he had it done anyway.

alamama - my wedding ring. it is just a simple band, but one i love. we lost it for a long time and had to get a replacement. i was so happy when we found it.

Katie Sellers - Though I love my engagement ring, I would have to say my most meaningful piece would be my wedding band. It is a simple platinum band with lots of scratches from wearing it every day for 9.5 years. We had them inscribed separately to surprise each other on our wedding day. Mine simply stated says “Forever my love”!

kris saia - I don’t wear a lot of jewelry — my wedding band, a pair of gold hoops, and my favorite necklace: a very simple gold cross my folks gave me years ago. It hangs on a thick gold chain that my mama wore for many years (a gift from my dad) and its so old, it breaks occasionally and I have to take it to a jeweler to have it fixed. I always feel naked without it while it’s off my neck! But if I won the gift certificate, I’d pick something for my sissy, who loves jewelry more than life itself… well. almost. 🙂

Jennifer Cole - I was given a charm bracelet in junior high (early 70’s) and still have most of the charms on it. I have added other charms, mostly hearts, and it is beautiful! My dad gave it to me for my birthday and he isn’t with us anymore, but every time I wear it, I think about how much he loved me my whole life. I miss him!

chrissi - my mom’s wedding ring.

Vicki - I’d have to say my wedding ring. I love that it’s been on my finger for the last 20 years!

Amanda - My engagement ring…it’s my grandmother’s diamond in a setting I helped to design.

Amy - For a long time it was my Gucci watch because it was the first thing I saved for all by myself and bought. But now, it’s my wedding ring. Definitely!

tiffany gardner - it is my grandmother’s (who i’m named after and never met) ring. all my mothers jewelry and her mothers jewelry was stolen shortly after she and my dad moved and this was one of the only pieces left. my mama gave it to me on my 18th birthday and i plan on giving it to my daughter on her 18th bday.

Tracy - That’s easy! My wedding ring! I also love the charm bracelet my husband started for me on my first mother’s day.

Janelle Shultz - i would definitely say my wedding ring…it has definitely stood the almost 20 years of wear! i remember the day DH proposed like it was yesterday & i remember showing it off!

Naomi - My most meaningful piece of jewellery is a necklace my parents gave me, with my grandfather’s nickname for me stamped on to it.

CindiS - Definitely my wedding ring! 25 years next summer–it’s been fun.
A very generous give-away!

Jennifer - My dads wedding ring that I had resized to fit me

katherine brewer - My favorite is the 1c. diamond solitaire ring my husband bought me for our 30th anniversary…it means the world to me, for many reasons! Love Lisa’s jewelry!!

Sandy - Love Lisa too!! I have a few of her lovely pieces. My absolute most precious piece of jewlery that I own, which was hand made into jewlery, is a necklace made from hardware from a rod that was put in my dad’s back when he broke it. He was creamated when he passed away, the hardware was made out of titanium and survived the creamation, so my brother made us necklaces from it. I will always treasure it!!

Halley - I wear my great, great grandmother’s wedding ring. It has her and her husband’s initials inscribed in it. Someday I will pass it on to my daughter. Would use the gift card to choose something from the new gold line. Thanks.

Emily - The most meaningful piece of jewelry I own is probably my wedding ring, because it symbolizes my commitment to not only my husband, but my kids at well. Lisa’s jewelry is gorgeous. I don’t own any of it, but would love to:)

Emily Wingfield - The most meaningful piece of jewelry I own is a small opal and diamond ring that my father had made for me for Christmas when I was 16. Dad never bought gifts for us-that was moms job. So it was a shock to both mom AND me that he had gone and had this ring made for me all on his own. I am having it fixed up and re-sized to fit my 14 year old daughter because she thinks my dad(her Papa John) hung the moon!

Jennifer - My wedding ring is the most meaningful to me for sure. I cherish it and my hubbie!

melissa erin - oh man. how to decide…love my wedding/engagement rings of course, and also have a charm bracelet with my 5 kids birthstone charms on…love it too.

Amy - I think my wedding and engagement rings are my meaningful pieces of jewelry. I never ever thought I would get married and it is a wonderful reminder of how blessed I am when I see them on my finger every day.

natalie@thesweetslife - my engagement ring! love it and cherish the memories along with it!

Lynn - My favorite item is a little charm I got from my grandmother that has the Apollo 11 logo on it…kinda cheesy but it reminds me of her.

MegM - When I graduated from college my grandmother had my grandfather’s initial tie clip made into a necklace for me. Up until that time, I never realized we had the same initials!

SoCalLynn - Besides my wedding rings, my most meaningful piece of jewelry is a charm bracelet I started over 20 years ago. Every time my family travels to a new place, I seek out a new silver charm as a memento and add it to the bracelet. It is a history of our family’s explorations and sightseeing adventures that I treasure.

Laurie - My wedding ring for sure!! Sadly I can’t wear it anymore because I have rheumatoid arthritis and it has made my joints a bit swollen. I am hopeful that the swelling will go down someday so that I can wear my ring again and not have to get it resized!!

Sonya - My wedding ring for sure…with my Lisa Leonard heart bracelet a close second. It is stamped with “Love”. I love all her pieces!

Jenny - My most meaningful piece of jewelry I own is actually three pieces. I ordered three “love knot” rings that I wear on my wedding ring finder. One is a rope that symbolizes my husband and I being intertwined forever and the other two are solid gold to symbolize each of my daughters. I also gave each of my girls one to show them they are loved FOREVER without end.

Tina Jacobsen - My wedding ring and a ring from my Great Great Aunt.

Susan - My favorite piece of jewelry would difinitely be my engagement ring and wedding band. Everytime I pray, I spin them on my finger. I LOVE Lisa’s jewelry and designs. Thank you for a chance to win!

michelle - My grandmothers engagement and wedding rings.

Amy M - I have a necklace that used to be my gram’s. Every time I wear it, I feel like she’s close to me.

Gayle P - My favorite piece of jewelry is my itty bitty diamond earrings I received on my 16th birthday. They were my first real diamonds 🙂

Larissa - Definitely my moms’s wedding rings.

Dawn - My ‘family’ ring. I wanted a Mother’s ring, but also wanted to include my husband’s birthstone and mine, which are both amethyst.

karen - Aside from my wedding rings, I have an opal and diamond ring my husband gave me when we were dating many, many years ago.

Jill Broberg - Definitely my wedding ring. It is a beautiful reminder of the love my husband and I will share through the eternities.

kathleen - pearls from my grandmother

Andrea - My wedding ring.

Lindsey - Besides my wedding ring, my most meaningful piece is my Lisa Leonard initial necklace that has the initials of my two babies I never got to meet on this side of heaven.

Katie - The most memorable piece of jewelry is a furry pink braclet my daughter gave me when she was 6. It brings back wonderful Christmas memories! I love it and her.

Robin Canter - My one and only piece of Lisa Leonard jewelry has my name and my husband’s name on it. LOVE it.

Holly - My great-grandmother’s wedding ring

Jenn - My wedding ring! It is a constant reminder of my commitment to my hubby and God’s commitment to us! Never ending!

Ana - I love my engagement ring the most because of the effort my husband put into buying it for me. He took a class to learn about diamonds and when he was ready to buy sold his most favorite possession-his mustang car. He loved that car!

Katek - I have a gold link bracelet that an aunt gave me. I remember sitting in church holding her hand in my lap and twisting and turning the bracelet on her wrist. She reached down undid the clasp and put in on my own wrist. She whispered I’m giving it to you.

Alice H - Thank you so much for this giveaway. I have a necklace with my kids names on it that I love. Then I have a charm bracelet from James Avery that a friend of mine got me the day I graduated with a diploma charm and since then it has had many charms added to it.

mary - What a nice generous gift. Lisa is so talented all her jewelry is so beautiful. My wedding ring and engagement ring are so special to me.

Amber - We did the non-traditional marriage route. I was in school, we already had kids, and so on (it wasn’t top on our lists). After I graduated we were moving to AK, and my now husband needed insurance, so we decided to get married. It meant a lot to him that I had a ring, so we began looking and considering options. We knew we wanted it to be as natural as possible. So we chose platinum (my rugged personality has led to many blemishes), and a Yogo MT sapphire, which is pure untreated stone like a diamond. Our family started in MT, so the Yogo MT sapphire fit us. “Forever Yours” lies inside, which is exactly how my husband feels about us. Over the years, however, the stone has loosened and cracked, ironically happening during rough times for us. But symbolic to marriage, as the stone was mended so too did our marriage, through work (hard) and growing. Marriage and parenting are the hardest and most rewarding experiences and I simply love how our ring has been on this journey through all the great and yes, all the challenges with us. Thanks for letting me relive this memory.

Heather Langley - My most treasured piece of jewelry is a flat, gold heart engraved with my great-grandmother’s name on it. I wear it all the time. Then recently, I was cleaning out my jewelry box, which used to belong to my grandmother, and I saw something glimmer just inside the velvet edge in the back – it was an IDENTICAL gold heart with my grandmother’s name on it. They must have gotten the necklaces at the same time! So now I wear both of their hearts at the same time 🙂

MH Toth - My then-fiance (hubby Ross) designed an aquamarine cross as my “something blue” gift for my wedding day.

Liana - My wedding ring for sure– and tomorrow is our 10th anniversary.
Love Lisa Leonard– I’ve asked for a few things from her shop for Christmas!

Nicole Q. - My wedding ring — I never take it off, other than having it checked or cleaned — it’s just a piece of me just like my relationship with my husband! So thankful for him.

Shelley C - My grandmother’s wedding ring. A treasure!

Lisa - My charm bracelet that was a gift from my husband right after our son was born. The first charm is a mother holding her baby with our son’s name and birthdate engraved on it. The other charms were received for special occasions through the years…anniversary, son’s “firsts”, birthdays. Every link is a sweet memory, of both the event and the giver.

Caroline - I have a simple white gold wedding band that matches my husbands. We have been married for 16 years and I have never taken it off! I am a lucky girl….after 3 beautiful daughters together, we still remain devoted. Marriage has been much harder, but also much deeper and richer than I’ve ever imagined. I hope and pray to wear this ring for the rest of my life!

Nicole - My most meaningful piece (besides my wedding ring of course :)) is a necklace with each of my kids initials, a heart for a sweet baby we lost, and the initial of our newest son whom we are waiting to bring home from South Africa! Every time I look at it, I am reminded of God’s faithfulness to me and His precious care.

deb n. - My wedding/engagement ring. They aren’t fancy but they mean so very much to me. Can’t imagine what I would do if I lost them – so I never take them off!

Kimber-Leigh - my husband designed my engagement ring…so it is extra special to me! i also treasure a necklace with 5 gold hearts that my parents gave me as I went off to college (one heart for each family member)…and a bracelet that was the last gift my grandmother gave me before passing away.

Kim - My favorite piece is my engagement ring which has been passed down to each oldest girl in our family. It’s a tiny diamond set in a larger setting to make it look bigger, in that wonderful antique-y kinda way. It was originally my great-grandmother’s engagement ring. She gave it to my grandfather to give to my grandma when he asked her to marry him. My grandma then repeated the tradition…when my father asked for my mom’s hand, my grandma offered ‘her’ engagement ring to him to give to my mom. When my husband (then high school sweetheart) started talking about marriage, my mom offered him the engagement ring to give to me. And now it is my oldest daughter’s turn…I know that any moment her boyfriend is going to ‘pop’ the question. I have already told him about the ring and he loves the tradition!! I’ve already had it cleaned and re-sized for my daughter. I’ll miss that little ‘old’ ring, but oh so look forward to the future that it brings 🙂

Rachel - My most meaningful piece of jewelry? Definitely my wedding ring and next up is my mother’s ring. They both don’t come off… I even talked one of my doctor’s into letting me keep my wedding ring on during one of my csections… by taping it to my finger.

Laura W. - Definitely my engagement ring and wedding band!
I love Lisa’s jewelry and would love to win!

Christy - I love Lisa Leonard and her jewelry. I have put a certain necklace of hers in my shopping cart on her website several times but never go thru the check out process., I feel guilty buying something for myself 🙁
My favorite piece of jewelry is my grandmothers wedding band that was given to me when she passed I was 15 and have held onto it ever since.

Kathy - My favorite piece of jewelery is my Grandma’s monogram pin. I received it after she passed away. It reminds me of her…..she was such a beautiful person.
I love Lisa Leonard’s blog and jewelery and always dream of owning a piece.
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.

Jen - My wedding ring would be #1, but my 2nd favorite would be a necklace my husband gave me with a picture of my two kiddo’s!

Zainab Zaki - The most precious piece of jewelry I own is a delicate gold ring with two tiny diamonds that my boyfriend of 5 years gave me with his very first salary. I think he spent almost all of that first paycheck to get me that ring. He is now my busband of five years 🙂

Heather E - My mother’s day necklace I received three years ago with a picture of my two kids together when they were both toddlers!!!

Amy B. - My necklace with my kids initials on it means a lot to me.

Allison H. - My wedding ring of course! In a close second- a pin of my great-grandmother’s that I had placed in my bouquet of flowers when we were married. In an even closer third- my grandmother’s bracelet. 🙂 Thanks for the amazing giveaway!!!

ikarentee - My engagement ring comes first . . . then a pair of opal earrings from my sister’s wedding . . .

Dani - After my father passed away I got to keep his wedding band. I wore it on a chain for many years. Then one day my mom noticed her wedding ring was getting a little snug, so she gave it to me. I had the two put together with my dad’s on the top and my mom’s on the bottom. I wear it everyday. It makes me happy!

Nichole - When I was growing up my Mom always wore a gold chain with our four baby rings on it. When I had my first son I purchased an antique baby ring and a silver charm of a little boy with overalls and spikey hair just like my son. When my second son was born I added his baby ring to the necklace. This is the piece of jewelry closest to my heart and it’s the one I get the most compliments on.

Molly - The most meaningful item I own is a handstamped necklace with my daughter’s names on it. It was purchased before I heard about Lisa Leonard. But my daughters were adopted at 4 and 6 and they are 11 and 8 now. When I wear the necklace, they love it and they tell me that I am wearing their names next to my heart. I would love all three of us to have name necklaces so we could match. I think that would make them very happy.

michelle Frobes - My favorite piece of jewelry is a bracelet I bought my self on a trip to see my mom’s family. It says embrace the journey. I love to look at it when I wear it to remind me that it is the “journey” that is the amazing part. The end result is never a “given” so you gotta embrace the journey or you miss out on the good things in life.
Thanks for the opportunity,
Michelle

Jen - My mom gave me her engagement ring which means even more because my dad passed away 13 years ago. She also gave me and my sister her wedding band which we had melted into two rings and had our anniversary date and my parents’ anniversary date inscribed inside. Love!

k - It’s a tie between my wedding ring which my husband designed(with the shape diamond I like and my birthstone), and my Grandmother’s wedding ring which was given to me in 8th grade. I put it away for safe keeping and wore it when I grew older. It has the smallest, precious diamond and the gold setting is made to make the diamond seem larger(not sure what that’s called). There is a tiny heart cutout on each side of the base of the setting. Truly unique and sentimental for me. 🙂 Thank you for offering this giveaway! I would love to use it to treat my Mom.

tara - wedding ring. ten year anniversary in two weeks … woohoo!

Kristi K - my most meaningful piece of jewelry is a pendant with my daugters’ pictures on it. they were 4 and 8 at the time (11 and 15 now)……and i LOVE it!!

Anessa - I love all the jewelry my boyfriend has given me but I would have to say I love the diamond earrings he gave me for my birthday one year. I wear them in my second holes every day, Also the pearl earrings my sister gave me when I was in her wedding. I wear those almost everyday in the first holes if Im not wearing some other fun dangly earrings.

Laura Wilder - Besides my wedding rings – it is the Tiny Initials Necklace from Lisa’s shop. I call it my I Love You necklace. Both kid’s love to touch it while I hold them. Love the Lisa Leonard collection.

Debbie S - My mom had my grandma’s diamond earrings made into two necklaces for me and my sister. Something I’ll treasure forever 🙂

Gina - Easy one…my wedding ring. 🙂 Love Lisa’s jewelry!! 🙂

andrea - Other than my wedding band, a nacklace that my husband bought me for our first wedding anniversary. We were poor lol seriously and I was newly pregnant totally freaking out it made me cry maybe it was the hormones. lol

Wendy - I have two. My wedding band of course. Then I have a soldered spoon ring that my mom bought for me 9 years ago at a craft fair. I have tried to wear other rings but I always end up with this one on and just can’t seem to wear others. I love that it was an antique spoon that someone used. I love that my mom bought it for me. I love it! Thanks for the giveaway!!

Catherine H - Probably my grandmother’s gold bangle. It’s timeless and I always think of her when I wear it.

Alyssa Erin - My favorite piece of jewelry is my engagement ring. My husband’s father owned a pawn shop in the 70’s. When he closed it in the mid 70’s, he gave all of the leftover rings to my mother-in-law who (over the years) had the gold melted down, and the stones reset into new jewelry designs. There was one ring however, a European cut diamond set in platinum, that no jeweler would touch/change. She put it in the family safe, and it sat there until 1998. The year it was put up was 1978, the year I was born. I never told my husband the kind of ring I wanted. He was a public school music teacher in a very, very small town, and had no money for ring shopping. I had no idea what to expect, but it didn’t matter, because I wasn’t in love with him for his money 🙂 When he gave me the most beautiful ring I had ever seen, in the fall of 1998, I really couldn’t believe that it was mine… Throughout the past 13 1/2 years of marriage, this ring has been a constant reminder to me of the goodness of God. There have been many times when I needed that reminder… He is my/our Provider. He is a loving Father. He is a giver of good gifts. He does, “Exceedingly, abundantly more than we can ask or even imagine.”

Tiffany - my Mother’s bracelet.
she died when i was 15 (I am now….32)
its gold and i’m not a gold jewelry girl.
but i wear it everyday and think of her daily.

Emily a la Blog - When my husband and I got married, we bought cheap titanium rings. We knew we wanted to spend money on photography, and the event itself. So for our fifth anniversary (last year) Hubbins bought me a beautiful sapphire ring, which I wear now instead of the titanium band. Sapphire is his favorite stone, which he says is worn by royalty (not quite as big as Kate Middleton’s, but just as meaningful!).

valerie - Besides my wedding ring, I have a necklace with two copper rings – on one is stamped “Uganda”, where part of my heart lives, and on the other is “Christopher” – the boy in Uganda who stole my heart. 🙂 Thanks for this AWESOME giveaway!!

Ashley - The pearl necklace my parent’s bought me for my wedding. While my wedding ring is my favorite piece of jewelry, the necklace is something I don’t wear often, and just reminds me even more what a special day it was!

Eleanor - My grandmother gave me a set of pearls for christmas a few years ago. They are very nice and are quite short which is really like, so they look modern and fun when i wear them.

Julie A - It would be a tie between my wedding ring, and a bracelet with my boys’ names on it that my husband picked out ALL BY HIMSELF! I couldn’t believe it! 🙂 Makes it all the more special.

Lindsay - Love my grandmother’s old engagement ring. She gave it to me this year.

S Beggsmiller - besides my wedding rings, I would have to say its the beautiful necklace my husband picked out for me and had given to me on our wedding day. He had his dad bring it to me while I was getting ready and I will always cherish the special moments I got to spend with his parents right before we were married.

Kelly - Of course my first thought is to say my wedding ring but I also have so many other pieces with sentimental value. Too many favorites to choose just one!

BeckyB - That would be my wedding ring. And my mom’s wedding ring. Thanks so much!! (Love Lisa’s jewelry!)

Bailey C - Aside from my wedding and engagement rings, I would have to say a pearl ring that I received when my great aunt passed away. It’s the only time I have ever inherited any jewelry and it was completely unexpected so it’s pretty special.

abby - My husband gave me a string of pearls for my 30th birthday. I LOVE them!

Jennifer - All of it!! My favorites are pearls though 🙂

Rebekah - I have to say that I ordered Lisa’s wedding cake forks for my sister’s wedding and surprised her and her husband and they LOVED them.
My favorite pieces of jewelry are a “love” bracelet and a necklace with my children’s initials!

Emily - Clearly my wedding ring is the most precious, but I also was given the lavalier My grandfather gave to my grandmother while in college.

cindy Singer - Most meaningful would have to be my wedding ring!! After that it’s my necklace from my girls!(lisa leonard) Love Lisa Leonard!!
Cindy

Emily B - Besides my wedding ring, I cherish the special ring my husband gave to me on our 10th anniversary. Every time I wear it, I think of the trials and struggles we have made it through, along with the joy:)

Shawna - My favorite is my husband’s grandma’s wedding ring which she gave to me before she died.

colleen sullivan - That would be my emerald engagement ring…I look at it and I see love.

amanda - Believe it or not mine is a single clip on sparkley earring that was my great grandmother’s. I have it displayed in a printers cabinet tray on my wall. 🙂

Colleen - My favorite piece of jewelry is a charm bracelet my dearest friends game me when I turned 40. The group has been friends since elementary school and we did this for each one of us that year. Each person picked a charm to put on it that had meaning to the two of us. It makes me smile whenever I put it on.
By the way, I love Lisa’s blog and site. Her blog was the first I ever read. I may have to treat myself to a gift from her site this year.

Ali - My wedding ring. It’s so simple, and it’s not even a real diamond, but I love it because it reminds me of how young (and poor) we were when we got married. I would never trade it in for a larger one.

Kindall - I don’t really own a lot of jewelry (all the more reason I need the gift certificate! But I guess so far it is the beautiful pearl necklace I received as a bridesmaid gift from a close friend.

Amy - My wedding rings and a sweet butterfly pendant that belonged to my grandmother. She passed away several years ago but I think of her every time I wear it.

Kristi Thomsen - It’s a tie…my wedding ring and what I call my “Allie band”. A band that my husband gave me when I was pregnant with our daughter.

carrie z - Its a toss up between my wedding bands and a cuff bracelet tgat has both of my girls names on it.

Kara - Of course my wedding ring is the most meaningful piece of jewelry I have, but I would love a necklace with my children’s names, too! Thanks for a great giveaway opportunity!

Candi - Love Lisa Leonard’s jewelry. My most meaningful piece of jewelry is my charm bracelet…with charm from many different occasions, given by loved ones.

jennifer - Besides my wedding ring (a given), my favorite piece is a necklace from Lisa Leonard with my husbands name and my kids’ names. I love it and will have it FOREVER! It was given to me after my youngest son was born – from my BFF – my sister. I adore it and can’t wear it enough!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Stacy B - My wedding and engagement rings are probably my most precious, especially with the stories behind them. Other than that, I really treasure a circle pendant my now husband gave me for our first Christmas together. I was SO surprised and now I get to remember the feeling of us first dating whenever I wear it.

Cory Margrave - I LOVE all of Lisa’s jewelry! I especially obsessed with her gold line!
My most treasured piece of jewelry is a Mikimoto strand of pearls that my grandfather bought my grandmother when he was in Korea. It’s so precious to me.

Carrie - I love her stuff…my favorite is a necklace my husband got me for my first mothers day with our sons name on it. Love it. Then for our ten year anniversary he bought me a family tree necklace with “mrs Claassen” and the date of our wedding. He is pretty great.

Ruth - My wedding ring is by far my favorite piece of jewelry…represents so much more than just a ring. I also have a ring that my husband had made for me out of his grandmother’s favorite ring. It’s chipped up and it would have been cheaper to buy a new ring with a new stone…but having something of his grandmother’s is precious to me.

Jen - I adore Lisa Leonard… and honestly one on my most treasured pieces is incidentally called “my treasure necklace” by Lisa herself… When she first came out with it, I knew I had to have it… For one I LOVE mason jars and two, it has four hearts (I have four boys) it was made for me and my personalized tag has my hubbies name on it…

amalisa - The most meaningful piece of jewelry I own is my grandmother’s cameo ring.

Heather M. - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is actually a Lisa Leonard piece. It is the “Grateful” piece that was given to me by my Mom during a very difficult time in our family’s lives.

ira lee - my most prized piece of jewelry is a locket that i have. in may 2008 i had a baby 4 weeks early and she lived at arkansas childrens hospital for 21 days. my locket is marked with a ‘c’ for her name rayna charlize, we call her baby charlie. it has one of her beautiful long eyelashes inside. we had her creamated and she sits at the end of the hall. but when i feel extra sad about loosing her, i wear that necklace.

Katherine - The necklace my husband gave me while skiing. It’s so beautiful with a tree bowing in the wind and a mountain in the background.

Annie - My most meaningful piece of jewelery i own is a necklace my mother gave to me for Christmas one year. I treasure it so much

Amy K. - I have a tennis bracelet that my Mom and Dad gave to me for Christmas a few years ago. I love it ♥

amber - How awesome! I love all of Lisa’s jewelry! My favorite piece of jewelry is a personalized necklace with my kid’s and husband’s names on it around a heart. I got it for Mother’s Day.

Mary Wilbur - My wedding ring – three intertwined rings – one white gold, one gold, and one rose gold. Not my original ring but very special to me. The three rings mean many things to me: the Trinity; faith, hope and charity; yesterday, today,and tomorrow; and those three words – I love you!

Dana - My grandmother’s gold cross. She wore it everyday till she went into the nursing home.

amyellen - while i was dating my now husband he gave me a very thin small gold band for our 3 month anniversary. it was his commitment to our relationship and his intention to marry me. i have been wearing it for 23 years!

Beth - My wedding ring is most precious to me, but the piece that came to mind is a necklace that my daughter worked SO HARD to me make for me several years ago for Christmas. It is not anything that I would (ahem) choose to wear, but she was so very proud of it. I still get teary whenever I look at it.

Erica Haude - So hard to choose. Besides my wedding ring–it would be either the necklace my husband gave me on my birthday the first year we were dating or the two aquamarine rings (my birthstone) that I got from my parents. first one my dad gave to my mom for high school graduation. second they gave me for my 21st birthday.

Rebecca - My favorite piece of jewelry is my grandmother’s birthstone ring. We shared the same birthday month so I was the lucky one to inherit the ring – it’s an absolutely gorgeous simple setting with a couple of small diamonds. It is very antique looking and I cherish it.

Amy - my wedding ring…like my marriage, it still shines after 15 years!

Terri Wilde - For our 20th anniversary my husband had a necklace designed for me. It is two gold circles that are overlapped. They look like a venn diagram. I taught 1st grade for many years and my husband remembered that I told him that a venn diagram taught the children about what differences two things have and the part where the cycles overlap show what the two things have in common. My husband had “three” diamonds set into the overlapping part to show our mutual love for one another representing our past, present, and future together (“three”), our love for the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (“three”), and our love for our “three” children. It is my most meaningful piece of jewelry along with my wedding band of course. We eloped to Marysville Kansas (from Lincoln Nebraska) when we were in college. We were both students and didn’t even have money for wedding rings. Our witnesses at our wedding let us borrow their rings for the ceremony and when we saved up enough money we bought simple wedding bands for each of us. My husband thought of THE most romantic way to surprise me with my wedding band but that is another story. I wish I had a picture of my Venn diagram necklace! People comment on it all the time. Even after 30 years of marriage I am still thanking God every day for bringing my husband to me.

Terri Lynne Barrington - I recently purchased a necklace from Amy Cornwell. The charms have the initials of each of my children. It is my fave right now.

Ann - I have two pieces. First, my Grandmother’s wedding ring. It is beautiful, but I love it because when I look at it I can still see it on her hand. I also have a charm with my Grandma’s fingerprint. She left fingerprints all over my life, so it is fitting that I wear her fingerprint around my neck. I was very close to both of my Grandmothers.

Becky - My wedding ring for sure. We have been through a lot in our marriage, but that ring is still on my finger 🙂

Mollie - My favorite piece of jewelry is a necklace my husband brought me back from Africa.

Julie J - Besides my wedding ring, my favorite piece would be a bracelet my 2 teenagers picked out and gave me for Christmas last year.

Amy - My mother’s engagement ring. She gave it to me when my father died. I didn’t initially like the setting and considered resetting it, but my mother said “and you can’t change the setting because dad designed it.” I had no idea! Now this simple solitaire set on a wide gold band is my favorite.

Tobi Duffy - The most meaningful piece of jewelry I own is my mother’s bracelets that she wore everyday and now I do. I carry her with me in my heart and on my arm everyday.

Karen - It’s just a piece of costume jewelry but it was my great grandma’s and I love it!

Renae - I’ll say my engagement and wedding ring for obvious reasons. However, when I read the question my mind immediately went to my Lisa Leonard necklace for a few reasons. 1) my boys’s names are on it, 2) I chose to put the word “remember” on the back of it, closest to my heart, to remember the baby that I lost between my boys, 3) I bought it with money from my in-laws when I finally got my master’s degree in 2009. After my brother passed away in 2007 I never thought I’d finish. But my family, along with my very supportive professors, encouraged me to keep going and right up to the 10 year mark, I finally did it!! Thanks for the chance to win Meg!

Jade Cook - i wear the same necklace everyday. simple single diamond in white gold. it’s the necklace my husband had made for me when our 1st daughter was born. he gave it to me in the hospital the day she was born. it’s my “thanks for having my baby” necklace! and i get super excited to give it to her one day, when she has her first baby. =)

Ginny - a pair of diamond earrings my parents gave me for my high school graduation that my dad picked out for me just a year after he almost died from a brain aneurysm. I wear them when I need a little extra bit of strength some days. And yes also my wedding ring 🙂

sophie - Definitely my wedding ring. We had no money so we got a simple band for $35 at a craft show. My husband wanted to get me a new one for our 15 years anniversary but no way!

Talia - A bracelet my mom gave to me. I wear it daily and it always puts a smile on my face. I admired it as a child and to have it on my wrist now means the world to me.
A lovely give-a-way for sure!

Kallie - My wedding band! It doesn’t match my engagement ring at all-but my husband knew how much I loved it and bought it for me. 🙂

Rachel Matilda - I would say the most meaningful would be my wedding band 🙂

Jess Mead - I only have one, but it’s a good one. My wedding ring! 🙂

Rachel - I love, love, LOVE Lisa’s shop. But I love her story and her family more! I started following her blog before I knew she created such gorgeous jewelry (and before apparently the rest of the world got wise and realized it too – loved being one of the early ones 🙂
My most treasured piece of jewelry is my wedding set – passed down from my husband’s grandmother. I love the beautiful love story behind it – a happy marriage and couple who loved eachother dearly. Proud to wear this heritage on my hand!

Gabrielle - My husband surpised me with a beautiful ring when he found out how much I like tanzanite. Sometime later, my hand got caught in a door and the ring bent to where it had to be cut off. The person in the jewelry department wasn’t able to snip the ring, so my husband (who was very upset that I was in pain), grabbed the dykes, grimaced, and snipped the ring right off. I wear the repaired ring frequently and both memories – the gifting and the rescue – are so special to me.

Sara Miller - Of course my wedding ring would be one of my favorites, but I would have to say the ring I got from my mom on my 16th birthday. She redid one of her old rings she had gotten from my grandma and the center stone is a diamond from my moms original wedding ring.. My grandma passed away on Tuesday after a 2 year fight with cancer.. so the holidays will be a little tough this year…

Amber - My wedding ring. It’s custom mokume gane made by Newman’s Design Mine as a set with my husband’s band. It makes me smile every time I look at it.

Charlton - My wedding band/engagement ring is by far my most precious. It rarely comes off my finger!

Megan - My wedding ring, not only because it symbolizesmy husband and I’s marriage but because my husband had it made from my great grandmothers ring!

katie s - Fun!! My husband gave me a black pearl ring on thin gold wire back when we dated in high school (uh, 15 years ago now), but the cute wire it was on finally gave in and broke…for our first married V-day he had it made into a necklace that I love. He rarely surprises me with anything (and isn’t into Valentine’s day) so this one was a total surprise!

Gram - My wedding ring and my mother’s birthstone ring. She and I were born in the same month so after she died, it came to me by default.

Tiffany - Hands down, my wedding band. Thank you sharing the Lisa Leonard Luv.

Becky Jones - The most meaningful piece of jewelry I own would be the wrap around diamond cluster that surrounds my solitaire…my hubby and I had a summer before we married where we called off our engagement-ok, I called it off-cold feet…when we got back together {thank You, Jesus!}he wanted to return my solitaire and get a whole new ring-but there was so much sentimentality-we had a rich history together and I didn’t want to throw that away- so we decided to enhance {old and new rings} as we moved on into the future…very sentimental to me..life and love is tinged with both beauty and pain…WOW, thanks for the amazing giveaway!! Merry Christmas everyone!!

Jennifer - I’d have to say it’s my wedding ring! But, I also made a mother’s pin at a mothers of multiples (I have twins) meeting. There are beads to represent the gemstones of all my children’s birth month.

Karen - My wedding ring (10 years and counting till forever!) and the many many pieces of macaroni jewelry made by my kids!

Holly - My mother ring. My husband gave it to me the first Mother’s Day after our last baby was born. It has the kids’ names and birthstones around the ring and I love it.

Audrey Jimenez - That would be my great grandmother’s ring. It belonged to my mother then it was passed down to me. I’ve had it for over 20 years and still enjoy wearing it. When my daughter gets married I want the ring to be her something old and blue.

Dana - I have a necklace that has a christmas picture of the kids on one side and a flower on the other. I love it!

Donna G. - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is my engagement ring. It was my grandmother’s ring. My husband new that I wanted it, and even when my mother passed it along and told him he could change it up a bit, he knew that it was perfect just as is…didn’t even need to be sized!

DawnBeery - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is a gold band that my husband got me after I had a miscarriage. I wear it under my wedding band.

Linda B - My wedding ring, of course.

Whitney - My wedding ring!!!

Deanna Hunt - Definetly my wedding ring.

Shay - Yes, of course, for those that are married…it should be your wedding ring! But…as others have stated, second to that I am anticipating that my most favorite piece of jewelry is going to be the Lisa Leonard mom necklace that I JUST ordered for myself for Christmas last night!!! I’ve been wanting one forever, and it was on sale, plus I used the 20% off code from – you!

Carrie - My in-laws (MIL, SIL’s) all have a Hope/Faith/Love ring. So when my husband & I became engaged, they gifted me with the same ring. 🙂 And of course, my wedding ring! Would love to own a piece of Lisa Leonard jewelry! Merry Christmas!

Heather in Ohio - I love Lisa Leonard too and have a few of her pieces, which are meaningful to me. But my most treasured piece has to be my grandmother’s gold nugget pendant. It’s a family heirloom! Thanks for doing the giveaway!

Bekah Decker - Besides my wedding ring, my most meaningful piece of jewelry I own is a diamond heart necklace my husband gave me the day he told me he loved me for the first time:)

Leslie J. - My wedding ring is MY personal most meaningful piece of jewelry. However, the piece of jewelry that probably means the most to me is a simple silver band. It was my grandmother’s wedding ring. It shows it’s age, the design is barely visible around the edges. It is not fancy or frilly, there are no diamonds. This ring symbolizes her 10 children, becoming a widow too early, her struggles, her perseverance, most of all, her love for us. I am proud beyond measure to have this ring. She was 88 when she passed, and her 88th grand/great grandchild was born shortly after. We are now at about 120+. All because of this simple band.

jody - My own wedding ring obviously but also my mom gave me her diamond when I turned 18 . My second favorite is a pearl necklace . My parents gave me an inch every year until I was 18.

Penny - That would have to be my wedding ring and the cross I wear everyday. Both from my husband!

Amanda Swope - The only 2 pieces of jewelry I wear are my favorite. My wedding rings and my mother’s rings.

Valerie K - Obviously my engagement and wedding rings are pretty important, but second to those, I have a necklace that was given to me by my aunt and uncle as a high school graduation gift. It’s a very simple oval sapphire pendant. It’s very pretty on its own, but after I opened it and oohed and ahhed, my uncle told me that the stone itself was originally set in a tie tack that my mother had given him from the jewelry store where she worked up until I was born. My mom really loved working at this small, downtown jewelry store and I have fond memories of going there as a kid. I wear it all the time!

Anne-Marie - My engagement ring!

Lisa A - My wedding and engagement rings are kind of a given….but even more special to me are the earrings that my husband gave me after the birth of our first daughter. every time I put them on, I remember exactly how I felt the day she was born! I hope I never, ever, never, ever forget that feeling.

happygirl - I have the pearls my grandmother, my mother, and I wore at our weddings. We all have long marriages. My grandma was married 62 years when grandpa passed. My mom and my dad just celebrated 57 years and my husband and myself just celebrated 30. I think these pearls are blessed. 🙂

stephanie - a bracelet that has my kids names and my wedding ring, of course:) btw i ordered that darling little pewter bowl from lisas shop to give as a gift. It came and is so darling…i want one for myself!

Meg - I’m sure everyone has said this, but my engagement ring is my favorite… its just all of the memories that go with it from our engagement, wedding and most importantly our marriage!

Shannon Holzem - A braided friendship bracelet my daughter made me. I wear it everyday.

Katy Jo - My charm bracelet. It was started when I was in 2nd grade and hasn’t had anything added to it in years. But looking at it makes me smile. Plus I love the sound of all my charms clinking together 🙂

Terri Fretwell - My favorite piece of jewelry is a dragonfly necklace my son bought me for mothers day. He was only about 6 years old and he knows how much I love dragonflies. My first child was stillborn and there is a connection with dragonflies and him. Melts my heart. I will cherish it forever.
Thank you for always having such an intersting blog and for the fabulous giveaways you and your friends do.

stacy - My wedding ring. It is a combination of my engagment ring and a diamond band that was my grandmother’s. I asked for it when I was a very small child and many years later was passed on to me. She always wanted me to have it made into something else. a necklace, earrings,etc but I saved it and had it reworked to go with my engagment ring.

gina - We were in Memphis looking for an engagement ring. None of the jewelry stores were open on Sunday. We found a pawn shop/jewelry store run by an older couple with strong New York accents. I love that my engagement ring comes with this colorful story of the pawn shop, the older couple, their accents, her beehive hairdo. When I tried on the sapphire and diamond ring, it fit perfectly and the lady said, “Darling, it’s stunning!”. Love that ring. I don’t wear it every day like most people so that when I do wear it, it feels extra special. ; )

Deb M - My wedding ring set and my grandma’s wedding ring.

shar y - my grandmother’s SMU class ring from about 1930. It’s too small for me but it is very symbolic as she was a female and got a scholarship way back then! She ended up not finish her college career because she got married but just getting there was the point. I love LL!

Julie - My wedding ring.

Shannon - my engagement and wedding rings. They are so perfect and simple and reflect so much on our journeys in our marriage.

Elise - Definitely my wedding and engagement rings <3

Katy - I would say my wedding ring!

Aimee - my mother’s simple rosebud band that my dad gave her…he passed away when I was 18 and she has passed it along to me and then to my daughter.

Cory - A ring my grandmother gave me for high school graduation that
she had received at her graduation.

Tracy - I have a piece that is so special to me and I get comments on it all the time. It’s called a Thumbie. My papa was the most amazing man and so very special to me. When he passed away, the funeral planners had this brochure about Thumbies. They take a thumb print of your loved one at the funeral home and send it out and then you receive a round emblem necklace with their thumb print on it. I rarely take it off – only to put fashion jewelry on – because I hold him so dear to my heart!
My wedding ring is also very special to me but for obvious other reasons because my husband is amazing as well!!
I love Lisa’s jewelry and would love to have a piece!! 🙂

Mrs. B. - My wedding ring!

Marla - I have 2 that I cherish the most. 1 is my wedding ring and the other is my grandma’s class ring. She graduated in 1932 from Liberal H.S. out in western KS. I have the original box that it came in also. My uncle let me have it after she passed away and although it isn’t very pretty and isn’t worth anything, to me, it’s priceless. I also have both of my grandma’s mother’s rings that they wore when they were living. They are both very similar and simple and I love them!

Amy - My wedding and engagement rings

Lindsey Jo - gotta be my wedding ring. it’s the only thing i wear EVERY day. it’s unique and classic and i love it.

Tim - Well the only two pieces of jewlery I own are my wedding ring and a watch!

Aimee - I have a beautiful pearl necklace given to me by my mother on my wedding day.

Peggy in TN - An amethyst (both our birthstone) ring my mom gave me that she bought when she was 19. We share the same birthstone and I have always loved it!

Jen N. - Definitely my wedding ring.

Sara D. - I was just given my grandmother’s engagement ring. She passed away 6 years ago, and that beautiful little vintage reminder means so much to me, fits perfectly, and is just my style 🙂

Toni - Probably my wedding rings along with 2 eternity bands I wear on my right hand that represent my 2 boys.

Heidi - My husband gave me a ring and necklace set when our daughter was born. I love it!

sharla - I have a necklace with my boys names on it that I love. See so many great pieces in lisa’s collection!

Toni :O) - My beautiful wedding ring. It’s almost 20 years old but the love I have for it has definitely grown over those many years.

Erin - My engagement ring, for obvious reasons! We’ve been married almost 9 years and I still get chills when I think about him proposing and putting that ring on my finger.

lorraine tuohy - my most precious piece is my moms engagement ring, its small and delicate and i just love it!, what makes it so special, is she gave it to me before she passed. She said she wanted to see me enjoy it while she was alive . It’s a constant reminder of her love for her family.

Trinda - Of course, it’s my wedding ring, but I also have a opal and pearl ring my husband gave me when our first daughter was born. It’s my birthstone and our daughter’s together.

Sandy W - Definitely my wedding ring.

Robin Dennis - My dear friend gave me my favorite necklace. When my second son left for the military, she gave me a chain with a tiny beautiful compass with my sons’ initials on circles hanging next to it. She said that way, wherever my boys are across the globe, they’ll always be close to their mother’s heart. I haven’t taken it off since she gave it to me.

Rebecca - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is my wedding band. My husband and I just married but it is a constant reminder of the promises made that day to eachother. He is such a blessing to me.

Kim Bernhardt - I love all my pieces of jewelry that were my grandma’s. Some of it is just costume jewelry but when I wear it I feel so connected to her. I want to collect pieces that I can pass down to my family and Lisa Leonard makes high quality pieces that can be passed down.

jaimie - A birthstone necklace of my 4 kids….and my engagement ring.
Thanks for the opportunity! Love her stuff 🙂

Kirsten Dehmlow - When I graduated from high school my great aunt gave me an amethyst ring. My aunt had originally given it to my great-grandmother for her birthday many years ago. After she died my great aunt wore the ring. I love having this special family heirloom!

Maegan C - My favorite piece of jewelry is an antique cameo bracelet that was my mom’s when she was a teenager! its beautiful and reminds me of her when i look at it!

Leanna - Most meaningful piece of jewelry is the vintage flower pin given to me by my mother, it belonged to my great grandmother. Special.

Sherry - I have two favorite pieces actually — a small pearl ring my dad gave me on my 16th birthday and my wedding band. While my wedding band is a simple band of silver, it was handcrafted with a hammered textured by one of my husband’s artist friends and given to me by the love of my life. Lots of love in that ring.
And, I *love* Lisa Leonard’s jewelry and blog.

Emily B. - So love all of her jewelry–thanks for the chance to win! My most meaningful piece is definitely my wedding ring…because it symbolizes one of my greatest gifts and the best person I know.

Kristi Rediske - My wedding ring is really the most important and special piece of jewelry, the problem is about 18 years ago the diamond came out when I was shopping and I did not realize it until I got home at the end of the day, i have not been able to wear it since, money hasn’t been available to replace it. It would be fun to order something special from the Lisa Leonard jewelry line. Hope i win!

Jennifer Christians - My wedding ring is so special to me. It signifies a time when we truly had “nothing” monitarily. BUT I felt like I had everything. My husband asks me often if I want something new or different or bigger, and I insist that the original one is perfect and always will be.

rachelle - A necklace my husband had made that spells my name in symbols. I love Lisa’s designs and have an initial necklace that is becoming a favorite.

Jen T. - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is my engagement/wedding ring set. Not only because it’s my wedding set, but because it belonged to my grandmother. My grandparents were married for 49 years until my grandpa passed away. Grandma is still alive and kicking at 94 years old 🙂

C. Ward - The bright yellow pipe cleaner bracelet my son made ten years ago in preschool means absolutely everything to me.

Sarah - I have two, my mom’s wedding rings. When she passed away we almost forgot to get them but luckily a caretaker did. I wear them to keep her close.

Tiffany W. - The last Sunday my now fiancé was the minister at a church in Pennsylvania, many of the members of his congregtion shook his hand, shared gifts of blessing, and wished him off well. But one member in particular, an elderly woman who was dedicated to her attendance in the Bible Study that he had led there, wanted to show her appreciation of his time and ministry to their church in a most beautiful way. As he stood in a receiving line, shaking hands, exchanging hugs & laughs, she shook his hand and slipped an object into his hand very discreetly. He didn’t look at the item right away, but instead stuck it in his pocket until he retrieved it when he arrived home. Much to his surprise it was a diamond ring! She had given him her diamond engagement ring – even though she was still married to her husband! My fiancé called her to make sure that she had truly meant to give this meaningful item to him and she said “yes, because it is the only thing of value that I own & it is all I have to give to you.” He held on to this ring and shortly after he and I began dating, he shared this story with me. I was astonished by the beauty of the vintage piece and jokingly let him know if he ever wanted to marry me, that this would be a perfect ring to propose with! And little did I know, he remembered this request! And after we became engaged, we called the woman who gave him the ring to tell her what he had done with her ring – she was so thrilled! We are getting married in March and will be sharing this beautiful story of ministry, gifts, and love during our ceremony 🙂

Michelle Etheridge - My wedding ring as it symbols the covenant we made 22 years ago

GB Jost - I own 2 pieces of jewlery that are near and dear to my heart (besides my wedding ring). First, is a pin that my mom used to wear when I was litte. I can still remember the day she gave it to me–such a sweet memory…the other piece is a pearl drop necklace that belonged to my sister-in-law. She died about 3 years ago, but I loved all of her pearl pieces, and I cried when my brother brought me some of her pearls to keep.

Jermaine D. - I’d have to say my wedding ring, hubby and I designed it together!

Jessica Anne - my wedding ring 🙂

Michele - My most meaningful is my Grandma’s engagement and wedding ring set. Her original set, my aunt has the set that Granma got on her 25 th anniversary. I love it and only wear it for special things cuz I cherish it so. As far as Lisa Leonard…..well her stuff is so cool and I have wanted to treat myself to that bar bracelet and have her write let it be on there. I need to be able to see those words….often.

nora - I’m kind of a Lisa Leonard nut, too 🙂
Aside from my engagement/wedding rings, I wear LL’s open circle bracelet everyday – it’s engraved with my kids’ names on one side and their nicknames on the other side.

linzi - my dad suffered from a really bad stroke and can no longer speak or write. When I was growing up dad would always be the one to write out my birthday card or christmas card, nevr just with “love from Mum and Dad” but always covered with funny stories or words of wisdom or praise or love. I now have a necklace with some of his handwriting copied from an old card on it. Even though we can’t quite communicate as easily now, when I get upset about it I can touch the necklace and feel his words and know that all the important things in our relationship have been said already and are stored in our hearts always

Emily - I have two besides my wedding set. A necklace made out of my mother in law’s engagement ring. She had it made for me a few years after my father in law passed away. I also cherish my grandmother’s wedding band that I wear on my right hand. She and my grandfather were married for 66 years before he passed away!

Jamie - My wedding ring! We were young and in college with little money so it is small and simple and I still love it after all these years!

Carla G - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is my wedding ring. For obvious reasons, of course. But also because it was lost for nine years . . . and we FOUND IT! Shortly after we moved into our 100+ year old home, I dropped it down a heater vent that was in the second story. We searched and searched the vent, my husband got creative with flashlights and video cameras suspended on ropes, we even hired people to search the ductwork. We finally gave up and I resigned myself to the fact that I would never see it again. Nine years later, when we were having some work done on the house, one of the workers found it in the ceiling of our basement!

Allison - I have two favorites. A heart necklace which was the first piece of jewelry my husband bought me when we were dating. And the second is a necklace and earring set from my Grandma. We shared a birthday and she picked out the necklace and earring set and set it aside for me to have before she passed away.

Jen Calcott - A pearl necklace my Dad gave me when I got married

Routhie - I have my Grandmother’s engagement and wedding ring set. I barely knew her, but my Dad wanted me to have them after I had my first daughter. Hopefully I can pass them on to one of my girls someday.

Ronda - My wedding ring.:)

keely - My wedding ring, of course. Although this year, my dad made a ring for my sister and I out of our mom’s jewelry. She passed away a year and a half ago.

Jen - I have two! My wedding band of course and a sapphire ring that my parents gave me when I graduated from high school. Both are very special.

Katie - My beaded pipe cleaner bracelet my son made for me 🙂

AnnMarie - My engagement ring, not because of the diamond in it but because my husband had the band custom made with his sign and my sign supporting the diamond. It symbolizes the start of our beautiful family, us two supporting our growing family.I look at it every day and I cherish it!

Kelly - Wow, what an amazing giveaway. Her stuff is all so wonderful but I’ll admit that jewelry is something I have a hard time spending money on for myself. My husband designed my wedding ring and even more than it’s looks, what it symbolizes makes it a treasure especially for a girl who waited what seemed a very long time of singleness and “what is your plan, God?” to get one. Also, my mom gave my sil and I a charm bracelet a few years ago. It has all Christmas charms. We all (me, mom, sil) wear ours in Dec. each year! My mom gave us the charms throughout the year at different times and then at the end of the year we had a full bracelet to wear. The last piece of jewelry that is really on my mind is a piece I lost yesterday. 🙁 I am really hoping it turns up. It is just a plastic “crystal” bracelet but it looked great with everything and I mostly care about it because a dear high school girl who was my student helper when I was teaching gave it to me and it just reminds me of that precious girl. Have called all the places I was yesterday and left my name and number. We’ll see. Kelly

Martha - My cross necklace a friend made me

Lela Pohlmann - I have a ring for each of my kids that has their name, birthday and birthstone on it. They stack and are on my left hand next to my wedding ring. They never come off!

Kelloe - oh the love!!!! My fave piece of jewlery has to be this funky beaded hippy-ish necklace my mom used to wear in 7th grade 🙂

Anna - My wedding ring takes first prize, but I have a little necklace with my kid’s initials that I love too.

Amy Hartman - I have my great-grandmother’s diamond ring. Priceless to me.

Christian @ Modobject at Home - My husband has given me a piece of jewelry to mark the birth of each of our three children; those pieces are so special to me along with my antique engagement ring and wedding band.

Meredith G - That would definitely have to be my wedding/engagement ring! I don’t really have any jewelry that’s been given to me that is reeeeeally special. So when I was thinking of an answer, the only thing I could think of is my wedding ring. It’s my favorite piece of jewelry! 🙂

ChristineW - My mother passed away in February and I kept one of her rings that is so very special to me. It was a ring that was designed by my dad and made from one of his rings. I remember my mother opening up a HUGE box on Christmas Day, only to find another box and another and so on until she finally opened a small box with a bunch of heavy rocks. Right in the middle of the rocks was this ring. A diamond in the rough! 🙂 So while I no longer have my mother with me on Earth and circumstances have long separated me from my father, I feel I have both of them with me every day when I wear this ring.

Shaun - My grandmother’s opal that my husband made inot a necklace for me. It was the first gift my dad bought for his mom with his own money. She wore it everyday thereafter! My wedding and engagement rings go without saying!

Jenna - My wedding ring and my grandma’s wedding ring.

stephanie - Wedding rings. : ) I also have a birthstone ring with a stone for each of my children, myself and my husband that I love and wear all the time as well. : )

tracy rampersaud - I have 2 pieces of jewelry that I treasure! One is my grandmothers high school graduation ring and the other is a pearl bracelet my husband gave me while we were dating! I love your blog!

Heather - My most beloved piece of jewelry is a heart necklace that my mother gave to me when I graduated High School. My mother received it from my father on their wedding day. The necklace was given to my father by his mother. I wore this necklace on my wedding day. My grandmother and I were extremely close and I miss her everyday.

deb - A gold cross that we bought in Hawaii. It was way more than we could afford, but we bought it anyway. When I wear it, people ALWAYS stop me, and comment on how beautiful it is. The entire cross is designed with the state flower of Hawaii, with a flame of the Holy Spirit through the center. A wonderful witnessing tool!

Deanna Winne - I’d have to go corny and say wedding ring of course.

Carol S. - A pair of pearl earrings with a small diamond that my kids and husband gave me on my 40th birthday.

Jeannette from Plant City - My engagement ring because it was the ring my husbands father gave his mother when he asked her to marry him, he was the love of her life. They were married only a few short years and when she was only 4 months pregnant with my husband they were in a horrible car accident that left her as in incomplete quad and his father did not survive the crash. They told my mother in law that she would die giving birth so she shouldn’t try to carry the baby to full herm. Needless to say 41 years later I am married to that baby boy and she has and probably always will be the strongest woman I know to fight the fight she has all these years. (they said she would never walk again and she taught herself how to) I know it’s a long story but it’s the history of why I am wearing this ring and she’s not and why it is my most cherished piece of jewelry.

Melissa - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is a necklace that I received after my grandmother passed away. She wore it everyday whether she was fishing, gardening, shopping or going out. Her husband, my poppy, had the necklace made for her. He used the diamonds from her engagement ring and her mothers wedding ring. I love that I am wearing two generations of love around my neck daily, and some day I will pass it down to my daughter!

Annelies - Favourite piece… I think two bracelets that I have, from each of my 2 grandmas. One is silver and the other one is some kind of faux gold, they happen to look very much alike. I’m not wearing them for fear of losing them, but they remind me of my grannies (that both passed away) all the time !

Becky Rodd - Wedding ring of course for all that it symbolizes in my life and Jared’s ( my husband). I also love a bracelet they my sil gave me that has a widows mite in it. Such an awesome reminder to give all that we have to God. Thanks for this giveaway. Love Lisa Leonard and don’t have any of her jewelry…YET! 🙂

Cindy - I have to say my wedding/engagement rings.

Julie Wearmouth - My favorite piece is my wedding ring which I’ve had for 31 years 🙂 and I have a charm bracelet too that has a bunch of charms that all have a special meaning. Thank you!

MC - I have a couple pieces that mean a lot. My wedding ring first for obvious reasons then a cross necklace my husband gave me for our 10th wedding anniversary 10 years ago. Then most recently my family gave me Lisa Leonard’s faith, hope, love necklace. I love it. Thanks for making this give away available. Merry Christmas.

Candi - I’d say mine is the opal (my birthstone) ring that my mother gave to me for my 16th birthday.

stevie - my engagement ring. my hubby spent a month researching rings and diamonds and he picked it out all on his own. he did an awesome job!

Nancy - My engagement ring, it orginally belonged to my husband’s grandmother. She gave it to him to give to me!

Jules - Hi Meg,
I was going to say my wedding ring / engagement ring, but actually the most meaningful this is my granny’s engagement ring that I inherited when she passed away. It is a blue sapphire and diamonds (very Kate middleton haha) and my husband proposed to me with it so it is my second engagement ring! I don’t wear it all the time as it is too fragile (and gold) but it is lovely! Fingers crossed I win as I have my eye on one of the name necklaces – would love to get it for my mum!

Sheri - Awe – I love her work. My favorite piece is my wedding ring of course 🙂 Thanks so much for the opportunity to win 🙂 xo

Lari - One that means a lot to me right now is the Africa necklace my mil got me last year for Christmas…she gave it to me with a sweet note about how she was looking forward to meeting her Ethiopian grandchildren…we’re still waiting but I think of them every time I wear it.

Lia - Engagement ring! Reminds me of A very special day!!

Amanda Owens - Definitely my engagement ring that has the diamond from my mother-in-law’s engagement ring. When my husband’s Dad died, she wanted to pass along the diamond and I couldn’t be more honored to have it. It’s beautiful! – Amanda O.

Ariella - Definately the matching rings I share with my sister

Tiffanie - My wedding ring would be the obvious pick for me. My husband did such a great job with picking it! I would LOVE to win a Lisa Leonard gift card as we are having our first baby in February and I have been looking at her website to get gifts for my Mom and Mother-in-law with our baby girls name on them but my hubby just got laid off. Thank you so much for the chance to win!

Julie - Mine would be my engagement ring/wedding band from my husband. My engagement ring is a single solitaire symbolizing our love and the wedding band has five diamonds in it. one for each of my husband’s kids from his first marriage. Now I need a third band with two diamonds for the two children we have been blessed with together!

Caitlin - I don’t wear (or own) much jewelry, so it’s not hard for me to pick the most meaningful! It would have to be my engagement ring. I simple gold ring with a single pearl. It was my grandmother’s ring, and my now husband chose to give it to me when we got engaged. I love it’s simplicity!

Jenni - Well, the wedding ring is the obvious answer. But there’s another cool piece I have and truly love. It is a sapphire and diamond pinky ring (her mother’s from the 1920s) my grandmother gave me when I turned 18. She felt I was a woman and needed some real jewelry. Of course, at 18, I was thinking, “when am I ever going to wear this?” but I did think it was beautiful. She sadly died shortly after this very birthday. I ended up wearing the ring as my “something blue’ on my wedding day. I missed her terribly, but I felt her presence because of the ring! To this day, I have it locked up somewhere safe and only plan on pulling it out again on a VERY special occasion.

Vanessa (Brock Rocks) - A ring that belonged to my mother before she died.

edkarnes@gmail.com - I wear an antique diamond ring that belonged to my great-great aunt who took care of my grandmother after her parents died, that she then wore, that my aunt wore, and after me, my daughter will wear. A couple of years ago, I had all my rings checked to make sure that the prongs were secure and this ring was the only one that did not need any work. They don’t make them like they used to!

Carrie @ The Boonie Life - A necklace that my Grandad got in the Philippines when he was there in WW2. It is made out of wood with little ivory birds.

Jennipher b. - My parents wedding rings.

Jennifer - My engagement ring. I really wanted a sapphire instead of a diamond, and though my husband and I looked a dozens of stores, I couldn’t find exactly what I had in my head. He surprised me shortly after Valentine’s with the most beautiful ring after tricking me into believing he hadn’t been able to find the perfect ring. It’s exactly what I wanted and couldn’t put into words. Totally the best job he’s ever done picking out jewelry for me!

Lindsay - Would have to say it’s my wedding ring.

Melinda V.P. - A tie between my wedding ring and a simple silver bracelet that my daughters picked out for me all on their own for my birthday last year. When I wear them both together, I feel like I have my whole family represented on one arm!

Jen B - My most important piece of jewelry that I wear is my Mom’s wedding ring I wear around my neck in remembrance of her.Someday I will wear it as my own wedding ring but until then around my neck it shall stay:)

jessica - my wedding rings. my husband chose them all by himself and they are perfect.

Sunny Haynes - It would have tobe the diamond heart necklace my husband gave me when we were dating!

Cathy - my wedding band and engagement rings. Also, my husband brought me a beautiful emerald ring back from Greece and i love it

Laine - First is definitely my wedding ring…when we put our rings on at our wedding over 10 years ago we said, “Hereto I pledge thee my faithfulness.” Still get goosebumps thinking about that! But second, would be my family tree necklace from Lisa Leonard! I wear it just about every day. Only bad thing is that I’ve had another baby since I got it and her name isn’t on it. But still, that is my VERY favorite besides my wedding ring. =)

wendy - my necklace with a honeybee charm on it. my grandpa was a beekeper, and he recently passed away, so i bought that necklace to remember him by.

Nikol - My wedding ring and a necklace I made out of my son’s hospital bracelet that I never took off while he was in the NICU.

mpoggie - Other than my wedding ring? A necklace with a silver pendant cut to look like Kansas. My husband gave it to me when we were living in the desert and I was feeling particularly homesick. Now we’re back and I still wear it nearly everyday– as a celebration 🙂

Valerie @ Chateau a la mode - Without a doubt it’s my wedding ring. It represents 28 years of marriage to the most amazing man, 4 children and many, many, many blessed wonderful memories!

Caroline Simas - My 10th anniversary band with 5 small diamonds…because for our 10th anniversary we did not go on a fancy trip, but rather a trip to the hospital to deliver twin girls…after having two sons. My sweet man gave me the ring with 5 diamonds representing the 5 people who love me the most…my husband and our four children. I think of it every time I look at it:) so special! LOVE Lisa Leonard’s jewelry and would love to win!

Aby Gittings (soon to be Baskette) :-) - My engagement ring. Getting married 12/29 of this year. I’m 48 and he’s 47 and he’s waiting his whole life. Never been married. And he picked me. And he picked the ring.

Aby Gittings (soon to be Baskette) :-) - My engagement ring. Getting married 12/29 of this year. I’m 48 and he’s 47 and he’s waiting his whole life. Never been married. And he picked me. And he picked the ring.

Debi - My beautiful wedding ring!

Katie - It’s a tie between my wedding ring and an old ring my mom passed down with my parents’ and sibling’s birthstones.

Amanda M. - Its a tie between my wedding ring and the bracelet my son made for me in preschool. I do love that bracelet… I do love my wedding ring too!

holly - My most precious piece of jewelry is the necklace my ex-husband gave to me the first Christmas after our son (now 22) was born. It was a golden heart locket, and held two tiny photos of our son. But what give that piece of jewelry character of it’s own is the tiny teeth marks our son left when he bit the locket. PRECIOUS!

Cheri Simpson - My favorite piece of jewelry is my mom’s wedding ring. It is a simple gold band, but it means the world to me!

Janel - Thanks Meg! What a wonderful gesture and gift, wow!
All my life my grandmother wore a gold ring with green peridot and diamonds. It was gifted to her from her sister whom she adored and cared for in her end days. She always wore it on her middle finger. Many, many times while visiting with her I would ask her to take it off so I could try it on. And I would always make sure to ask her if I could have it when she passed from this life. It not only reminds me of those moments from child to adult, but how much I cherished her and how grateful I am she lived a long and happy life. She had so much wisdom I carry in my heart. This would be my most cherished piece of jewelry. That and a pearl pendant gold necklace from Zales i bought myself when I was in high school. I had it on layaway FOREVER…. 1980 I think. I still have it and hope to pass it on someday.
Merry Christmas!

Kristy - So I would have said my wedding ring of nearly 20 years but I lost it this year! It wasn’t fancy but it was mine and I loved it. So now I would say my James Avery charm bracelet. I have collected many charms over the years my favorite of which are the baby shoes with my kids birthdates engraved!

margo black - My favorite piece of jewelry is my engagement ring because I never have worn alot of jewelry ever before and I feel like it is always the perfect touch to make me feel fancy on a normal day. However before I got my engagement ring I got a ring from my mother on my 21st birthday that had previously belonged to my grandmother. I had made it very clear that I wanted it but I NEVER, NEVER thought in a million years it would be something to get before my mom passed and then left to me. I was shocked to get it and have never taken it off since!

Jea - A ring my dad gave to my mom when she gave birth to me,… which i have now inherited.

Christyn - My wedding ring and a ring I got while studying abroad in Russia, that says in old Russian, “Savior keep and protect me.”

Morgan C - My grandmother’s wedding ring, I wear it every day on my right ring finger!

Lisa - My favorite piece of Jewelry is my mother’s bracelet! Along with my children’s first name on the bracelet I added there birthstones and I wear it everyday! I would love to purchase one of Lisa’ s necklaces for my mom with the grandchildren’s names!

Amy M. - The Tiffany necklace my grandma gave me for my college graduation.

Danae - Definitely my wedding ring–it’s the most beautiful thing to me!

Wendy - My wedding rings and then my mom’s engagement ring. My dad gave it to me when she passed away.

Brenda H - A necklace my husband gave me with the birthstones of our 3 kids – I love it.

kelly - well….of course it’s my wedding ring, but other than that it would be my sterling captured heart necklace from lisa. it has my husband’s name and my two kids. i wear it all the time. they are always with me.

tammy - I have three and i never take them off. on my right hand, my grandmother’s wedding ring. on my left hand thumb, my mom had a wedding band made to match my dad’s wedding band for when she worked in the garden (so she could keep her diamonds sparkling!) and then ,of course, my own wedding ring. three generations of wedding rings worn daily by me 🙂

Shannon - I got one of Lisa’s necklaces with my four kids names on it – just a few days shy of my fourth son’s birth. Love it. And, I have already had a gift waiting in my cart on Lisa’s site…..this would definitely come in handy!

Jen - My braided white gold wedding band. My husband and I have matching ones. I love looking at it and thinking all that it’s been through since it was first put on my finger 11 years ago.

Bernice - Aside from my engagement and wedding rings, my husband gave me a necklace with two hearts on it – one silver with an aquamarine stone and one carved turquoise one to represent each of our two boys. I think it’s special because of that and because my husband took the time to design it for me.

jen - looks like it’s already been said but my wedding ring is my most precious piece of jewelry also. i don’t have much other jewelry, besides costume jewelry. it’s precious to me because it’s from my husband and obviously reminds me of our life together!

Yolanda - Hmmm. That one is tough. I would have to pick a tiny pearl necklace my grandmother got for me. You add a pearl each year.

Laura - Necklace with mother and daughter birthstones that my husband gave me on the day our daughter was born.

Brit Harris - My wedding ring. It symbolizes the covenant I made to to my husband before our Lord.

Bekah M. - My wedding ring and band are so very meaningful to me, but another special piece is an inexpensive charm necklace with charms of California and New York to represent where I live and where my sister lives. She has a matching necklace and we use them to keep each other close over the long distance.

Jess - my “cora” bracelet…a sweet reminder of my sweet girl. 🙂

Amanda C. - A necklace my husband gave me when I had our son.

Shairee - My Grandmothers wedding ring. Love it.

Amanda - Top of the list would be my wedding ring. After that, I have necklaces from my mom, sister, best friend and my late grandmother. I love them all!

Candy - My wedding ring, I never take it off.

eapawsat - My wedding rings!! Extra special is the fact that my rings were made from gold from my mother’s, grandmother’s and great grandmother’s wedding bands.

mollie's mom - I don’t own the ring anymore that came to mind when I read this. My parents gave me a sapphire and diamond ring a long tiime ago – sometime during my high school years. Sapphire is my birthstone and my daughters as well. For some reason she loved that ring when she was little and always wanted to try it on. One time, before she even started Kindergarten, I told her I would give it to her WHEN she went to college. She was so happy – I’m not sure she even knew what college was 🙂 Then somewhere along the way she started saying Mommy is giving me this ring IF I go to college. I would correct her and say “WHEN” you go to college. She went off to college a couple years ago and had completely forgotten about the ring. I pulled it out of the safety deposit box a few months ago and gave it to her on her 21st birthday. She had forgotten and was surprised and thrilled to get it because she was in college and 21. So, while that ring is not fancy and was not super expensive initially she says that now it is a tradition in our family to hand that ring down. So while I treasure rings from my husband and have a beautiful diamond and have inherited special jewelry the fact that she and I have started a tradition with this ring make it my favorite.
I love Lisa’s blog and her story, too.
Marcie

Jenn A. - Well, I know everyone probably said their wedding ring, but I just love my engagement ring because it’s unusual-the main stone is an emerald-cut sapphire. It is very special to me because it represents a time when we didn’t have a lot of material possessions (we couldn’t afford diamonds) but we didn’t let that stop us from moving forward!

mrszuithoff@yahoo.com - my wedding ring. my husband is not naturally a romantic, but he designed it himself. love!

Kaye - Wedding ring!!

Cory - I would have to say my parents wedding bands. Although they were divorced, my father always loved my mother, even though he could not be the man she needed. And before he passed away he sent me their wedding set. He was a WONDERFUL father, and so it was precious to me that he had saved them and sent them to me.

Laura - I had received beautiful diamond earrings and a diamond pendant necklace from my father on my graduation from college. 16 years later I still wear the earrings everyday and planned to give them to my daughter on her college graduation. Unfortunately, two weeks ago my house was robbed and all they took was cash and ALL my jewelry. All I have left is what I was wearing and on that day I was not wearing my father’s gift 🙁 At least I was wearing my wedding rings!! But I lost all my sentimental pieces from my husband and mom. I’m sure there is a silver lining somewhere. They can take my jewlery, but they cant take my memories or my faith.

Charlotte E - My wedding ring and a ring from my parents.

Suzanne - A pearl ring that belonged to my grandma who passed away when I was in middle school. It is the only piece of jewelry I got of hers. I wore it on my wedding day, and then I had it turned into a pair of earrings to pass down to my daughter.

Gina - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is most definitely my wedding ring. I love having a visible symbol of the love between my husband and I. It holds such memories…the day he gave it to me, the day we said “I do.” It’s one of very few material possessions that I don’t think I could do without! I hope to get the gift card so I can have a piece of jewelry with my son’s name on it!

Kate - The most meaningful piece of jewelry I own is definitely my wedding band. I’ve never taken it off since the day we wed.

Maria - My wedding rings = Love

Jenni - My wedding ring because the main stone was my mother-in-laws and she gave it to my husband on her death bed and told him to give it to me. So special!

Lauren B - my most meaningful piece of jewelry is the diamond heart ring my dad gave me when he promised he would always guard it for me 🙂

heidi c - My grandma sent me all of her jewelry, and even though it’s just costume jewelry and nothing valuable it’s priceless to me because it’s the same jewelry I played dress up with as a child. 🙂

shonda - Would have to be my wedding ring.

angie - a leather bracelet with the word faith stamped into metal (Lisa Leonard style before I even knew about her) that a friend gave me in the months leading up to brain surgery. gave it to my mom to wear during surgery which she happily returned to my wrist afterwards.

Alisha W. - My beautiful wedding ring 🙂

lisa willis - My engagement ring! It’s actually my second one because my first one was stolen a couple years ago, but I love that my husband bought me another 🙂

Monica - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is a blue and white stone ring that my daughter gave me for Christmas when she was in Kindergarten. Each year at Christmas time, the school provided a store for the kids to shop. My daughter was so excited for me to open my present. She said, ” mommy, I picked it because it was only $5.00 and the blue stones match your eyes!” She is now 12 and when I dress up, I still wear my ring……. She thinks it’s cheesy now but I will never forget when she gave it to me.

Rachel B. - I have a pair of gold earrings that my father-in-law gave me for Christmas 2001. He passed away February 2002. I love wearing them and thinking of him!

Ann Marie - My favorite piece of jewelry is a toss up between my engagement ring or the ring my fiance gave me on our first Christmas together 7 years ago. My engagement ring is a symbol of completing our family (we have a 4 year old) and our future. The ring he gave me at Christmas reminds me that 7 years ago he knew his love was deep enough after just 5 months of dating that I deserved something as special as that. I’m reminded of his love for me every day.

Kim - My wedding ring means so much to me.

Naomi Williams - My wedding ring of course, but I have another ring that my father had engraved with my name on it when he was in Ecuador. The silversmith misspelled my name and happened to spell it in a way that my father always would lovingly mispronounce my name as a nickname. When he asked them to fix it to have my real name on the ring, they merely engraved over the nickname so both are on the ring. It is a charming “defect” on the only piece of jewelry my father has ever given me and I truly adore it!

Amber H. - Totally cliche yet absolutely true. My wedding ring is the most meaningful. An amazing symbol of love and commitment from my main squeeze!

Christy - Other than my wedding rings I would have to say my mothers ring is the most meaningful piece of jewelry I own. Imy husband surprised me with two interlocking silver bands with my girls names on them for Mothers Day one year. I am not a fan of traditional birthstone mother’s rings so I was thrilled that he had went out of the way to find me one I would love.

Michelle - After my mom died of cancer, I got her mother’s ring and my sister got her wedding ring. My brother was going to clean the mother’s ring for me, and lost it. My husband felt so sad about it, he bought me my very own mother’s ring with our three children’s birth stones. I love wearing it!

Cindy - Small diamond earrings that my husband gave me for my college graduation when we were dating. When I showed them to my mom, she said, “Diamonds are forever”. Indeed they are!

julie - my most treasured piece of jewelry is a beautiful diamond ring my great aunt gave me. she had no children of her own, but she had several nieces and nephews to choose from and she chose 12 year old me. it was such an honor. i rarely wear it, but when i do, i feel like a million bucks.

Shelly Primm - Oh my, I love Lisa’s work. My most meaningful piece is my grandmother’s costume jewelry. She could wear big and gaudy pieces that made her look like a Queen! While the others wanted the “real” stuff, I wanted her “fake” pieces. They warm my heart!

Janine - Of course my wedding ring, but there is also a necklace my husband gave me on my wedding day. It is small flowers with a crystal in each flower. As I looked back at my grandmother’s wedding photo (after my wedding) I noticed she was wearing a similar necklace in her photo. It was a complete coincidence because my husband didn’t know, but it makes it all the more special to me.

Melissa - My wedding ring… It’s beautiful & means so much to me

Stephanie - my pearl necklace that my boyfriend (now husband) bought me for my high school graduation. I wore it for my prom and my wedding.

Jennifer - My favorite piece of jewelry is actually my wedding band. It is just a plain white gold band but the meaning that it holds is what makes it so special to me.

Amy - Definitely my gorgeous wedding ring. And a necklace with three stones my husband bought me when I had my daughter–since there were now three of us!

Kristin S - Just one? How bout three?
1. My favorite aunt passed away when I was 16. She had no children and I received her jewelry. My favorite is a gold ring with a big coral circle on top. I played with it when I was little and love wearing it now.
2. I borrowed my mom’s gold charm bracelet sometime in high school. She had added charms since she was a little girl. I’m 41 years old and still have the bracelet. I think she knows?
3. When my grandmother passed away, she requested three of her rings be given to her three granddaughters. Two were super valuable with lots of bling and the other a simple gold ring. Her children fought over what we granddaughters would receive and I received my favorite; the simple gold band she wore as her wedding ring every single day. To me it is a huge treasure.
Sorry for three but I couldn’t choose!

kettie benson - i would say my wedding ring…a symbol of a lifelong commitment to my best friend!

Sarah - Oh goodness! Obviously I have to say my wedding ring! And then my necklace with my kiddos names on it. I have the Lisa Leonard “let love grow” necklace and I LOVE it. Not only because it is so beautiful, but because of the message it means to my heart because marriage isn’t always easy…

cassie - A necklace my husband gave me when we were first married. I feel in love with it one day at the mall and was completely surprised when he gave it to me for Christmas 🙂 unfortunately, the chain broke and the pendant is sitting in my jewelrybox. I’ll get a new chain.. someday 🙂

Elizabeth Ann - My husband took the diamonds from my grandma’s 25th anniversary ring and made a custom weddning band for me that he gave to me on our furst wedding anniversary at the place where he proposed. It’s super special 🙂

Amy Clutter - I love my ‘mom’ necklace – a different piece for each of my children.

Tiffany - Oh, best giveaway EVER! I’m in love with Lisa’s work. I wear the necklace she gave in the swag at CW all the time. I also ordered some personalized jewelry for my sister-in-law for Christmas that I can’t wait to give her! Besides my wedding ring, my most loved piece is a simple heart necklace my husband gave me when I finished my masters program. It was special since it is the only other piece of jewelry he has given me, and when he signed the card he signed it from my kids too. One of which wasn’t born yet, so it was special seeing his name signed on the card too.

lauren - I was not blessed with a great marriage so I have no wedding jewelry to treasure. I do however have three wonderful children who gave me a lisa leonard bracelet for mother’s day that bears their names. they are my treasures.

Sarah{Handbags*N*Pigtails} - My favorite piece of jewelry is a gold locket my boyfriend bought me when we were 16 and 17. He had it engraved to say “Always my sunshine…Love,Eric” on it. I married that boy 5 years later and we now have two beautiful girls, 7 & 9(tomorrow). I plan to pass it down to my oldest some day.

Gina Maserang - I have the beaded baby bracelet my husband wore in the hospital when he was born. White beads with black letters,spelling Maserang, and blue beads on either side of the name. Funny to me that they put beads on a baby’s bracelet back then (1965). Now they are just paper.

ang - Wedding Ring!!

Andrea Siebert - a necklace with all of my kiddos names on it 🙂

Ashley - my grandma’s wedding ring. it was given to me after she died. i wear it every day. 🙂

jerusalem - I love our wedding bands because they are both “found” and unique. I found mine the day I was supposed to get my wedding portraits made almost 16 years ago. Instead it rained and my mom and I killed time, hoping it would pass, in an old flea market. I found my ring in one of the small booths for $60, of course buying a vintage ring meant that me and my husband and I were not able to have matching ones. Later on, when things were tough, we had to pawn Nathan’s plain ring to help pay an electric bill, so for years he has worn a $5 silver ring in it’s place. Almost 15 years to the day I found my wedding band, I found one, identical to mine, for my Sweet Man by way of my brother (someone had given it to him.) Last year on our anniversary I was finally able to give my sweet man a matching ring.

maureen - my late grandmother’s wedding ring 🙂

Barbara Youngren - I have many pieces of jewelry I Iove… and, of course, my wedding ring is my absolutely most treasured piece. The other one is strange, but it is a tandem bicycle with diamonds set in the wheels. My husband and I loved to long-distance bicycle and we have ridden a tandem for years. On our large group trips (500 or more), many of the husbands take off and leave their wives behind in a show of testosterone, but my husband is committed to me riding on the bike with him… and he thinks it’s great to have me close to talk to. So… if he wants me to share his bike with him I will wear a tandem necklace proudly!

Jennifer@beautyinbloom - Next to my wedding ring, I would say that I hope a piece of Lisa Leonards jewelry will be my new favorite! I would love to own her stuff but just can’t afford to right now! Thanks for hosting this giveaway! xoxo

Sarah - My grandmothers 1/4 carat diamond ring that my grandfather gave to her after his four year deployment to France during WWII. Almost as treasured as the shoe box of love letters he sent he during that four years. That ring lovingly sits on my 15 year old daughters right ring finger. Her name is Nettie, named after my beloved grandmother who wore it on her right ring finger until she passed a month before my Net was in my belly.
I love your blog! I have 4 children close in age proximatey. You are brilliant!

Michele H - My husband gave me a pair of earrings that have been worn for 6 generations in his family! They’re not gaudy or spectacular. They are simple and special. Love them.

Lynne Selte - My most treasured piece of jewelery is a St. Christopher medallion that my Nana wore every time she came over from England for a visit. I was not blessed to live in the same country or even continent as my grandparents. But the distance did not hinder the close bond I had with my Nana. Her and my Grandad were able to attend every graduation and wedding of me and my 5 siblings with visits when we were younger. On every visit she wore her St. Christopher medallion as he is the Saint of travelers. When I was little sitting on her lap I use to rub the medallion between my fingers asking her to tell me about it. Well, 2 years ago at the age of 93 my Nana joined my Grandaddy in heaven and she left me her medallion. It definitely is my most prized possession. I wear it every day and know my Nana is always with me. :0)

Becky - Definitely the sweet, simple wedding ring we picked out as two poor college kids. No matter how far we have come, I will always cherish the innocence and passion that are behind that ring.

Katelyn B. - Mine would have to be the pearl earrings from my grandmother I have had them since I was 9 years old and they mean so much to me!

Meggan D. - My wedding rings. My engagement ring is a sapphire..both of our birthstones and he proposed on my birthday! I swoon every time I look at it!

Stephanie - Definitely my wedding set. I had only a small “promise ring” that my husband gave me while we were dating, and wore that for the first 12 years of marriage. Then Christmas 4 years ago hubby surprised me with the set I have now: vintage looking, and so me. It makes me happy that he picked it out for me after 12 years. He still thought I was worth it! 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂

shannon - My wedding ring. 🙂 Would LOVE to have the camera necklace!

Blythe - my watch. the one piece of jewelry I have that I didn’t expect to get. my husband bought it for me on my 25th birthday. Wow!! Almost 15 years ago.

Niki - My wedding ring and diamond earrings that my husband gave me. I wear them everyday. In second place is my necklace from craft weekend that Lisa helped us make. It is so special!

Rhondabrooke5@yahoo.com - My husband gave me a cross after our 1st daughter was born. Other than my engagement ring it is my favorite!

Jenny L - I would have to say my most meaningful piece of jewelry would have to be my wedding ring, but a close second would be my necklace with all three of my kids’ names and their birth stones. I just love that necklace!

Gina DeHoogh - I have a charm necklace with all of my kids, their birthstone, and a cross on it. LOVE it. I love that people ask me about it, and I get to tell them about my 4 kids. 🙂

Angie R. - I love, love my wedding ring! 22 years married to my best friend. I have a few Lisa Leonard necklaces and I love them too!

Jenn - my wedding ring…love

KirstenP - My wedding ring is especially meaningful because it’s simple and elegant, and because my fiancee took me ring shopping a couple days after we got engaged and let me choose my ring. And now, 33 years later, it would still be the ring I would choose.

Amber Hopkins - My wedding ring!

Stephanie - Ooh so many awesome Christmas gift ideas!! My most meaningful piece of jewelry is a promise ring that my boyfriend gave me when he moved 2 states to live in the same town as me. I wear it every day.

Emily - My wedding/engagement ring and 5 year anniversary band. Just celebrated 10 years!

Kristin Joy - I have my grandmother’s wedding band. It is a significant reminder of love & commitment, the good old-fashioned gritty kind.

Katrina - I have a piece of Lisa Leonard jewelry that’s my favorite – a necklace with a charm of my initial, and a charm reading beautiful. It was a gift from a sweet girlfriend of mine, and it reminds me every day that I AM beautiful, even on bad hair days! Would love to be able to gift something as meaningful to another friend!

Meagan - I treasure my wedding ring. My husband definitely picked out something even more perfect than I could have imagined. A few years ago, I lost the diamond and was beside myself. My mom offered the diamond from her original wedding set to replace it and even though we did eventually find my diamond (ahmazingly!), I haven’t had it switched back.

Julia - I would say the bracelet made from the silver clasps of my great grandmother’s Bible. It even has her initials engraved on the inside. I wore it on my wedding day!

Kat - My favourite piece is one my Hubby organised from the Vintage Pearl.
It has all four of our children’s names and a quote that I love on it.
I absolutely love it and was so touched that he organised it as a surprise.
I always get lots of comments on it.
I have been looking at Lisa’s jewellery for a while and plan to get something for my friend and Sister for their 40th b’days. Still deciding!

amy j - hands down, my wedding ring. treasured!

Heidi - Well I would have to say I think a lot of my jewelry is special, love it all.

Erin - The cross necklace my Dad lovingly picked out for me all on his own. He was so proud.

Lisa - Well, it is most definitely my wedding ring. Not because it is the one with which my husband proposed to me. No. That one is gone. Funny story: When my husband and I knew we were going to be googly-eyed for each other for the rest of eternity, we just set a date. We didn’t go “ring shopping”. I told him I just wanted a simple solitaire, but I felt so awkward about finding a ring and telling him, “I want this one, please.” (Even though the years have made me much less demure, and I can tell him what I want quite directly now.) So, one morning at sunrise on the roof of my parents home (we were home from college break) he read the scripture in 1 Corinthians 11: “Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.” and opened a little box with the most perfect ring. Perfect because he picked it. And perfect because it was a perfect moment. Not-so-perfect because over the next 12 years it would prove to be a little nerve-wracking: It was a suspension setting which means it basically floated on the ring and I was constantly making sure it was still there. After a few adjustments/tightenings through the years, a jeweler finally told me, “You know you could look down one day and that diamond could be gone.” So we made the decision to have the very modest diamond reset in another setting. Fast forward: Jeweler split that diamond right. In. Half. IN HALF. So–I have a new ring, but no matter. It still represents to me that we are one, and though alone we are whole, we are not complete without each other. So, that is my most meaningful piece of jewelry….
…but a new necklace would be nice!
P.S. Another funny story: I was a Lisa Leonard for 22 years until my husband gave me his last name!

Morgan - wow-what an awesome give-a-way! the most meaningful piece of jewelry i have is a tiffany’s love knot bracelet that my parents gave to me and my 2 sisters. we each got them at different times in our life, but now each have one. i work full time at the hole in the wall gang camp and my little sister was on summer staff this past year. we blindfolded all the staff for a trust walk and she was very nervous and hated it. i went over to help guide her, she felt around on my wrist for it. you could see her relax when she found my love knot. none of us ever take it off.

Karissa - A necklace engraved with the initials of my 3 kiddos and a pearl charm for the fourth baby we lost.

Kirsten J - Hands down, it is the charm necklace with my grandparents wedding photo (on a farm in Kansas, circa 1936). And have I told you Lisa Leonard necklaces make and excellent year end class gift for a teacher?

Jennifer - My wedding ring and 10 year anniversary band.

Kimberly - I love my engagement ring! I picked it out, but I love the memories of finding just the right one with my husband, and how he actually cared so much to shop with me and buy it for me when we got engaged!

DLG in Mich - My wedding band was my grandmother’s. It goes perfectly with the diamond that my love gave me. They are both equally dear to me.

Angela - I adore my wedding ring, and would pick out this exact ring again 13 years later.

Michelle A - A pearl necklace from my grandmother is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry. Every birthday I celebrated, she would buy a pearl to add to it. so sweet.

Angie M - My wedding rings. So important to me.

Mindy - Aside from my wedding ring it would be a slightly tacky, but very well loved Christmas tree pin that was my grandma’s. I wear it each year with pride 🙂

Shannon - The most meaningful piece I own isn’t something I wear everyday. It’s my grandmother’s opal and diamond ring that was given to me after she passed away. Just knowing that I have something of hers that meant so much to her means the world to me! Thanks for the chance to win a gift card to Lisa’s store. All her products are amazing.

Anne in SC - Love my Tiffany heart. Wear it daily. It means so much to me because I bought it for myself during a very trying time. It is significant of so many things.

Jessie - My wedding ring would be my top. I also have a Lis Leonard charm necklace with all four of my boys names and I wear it everyday. I love having it on. There was a time when I wasn’t sure if we would have any kids and I love the sweet names on my neck a constant reminder of God’s blessing!

melissa ann - I have two pieces that belonged to my late mom.
1) Her wedding ring. It’s seriously just a chip of a diamond, but so sweet nonetheless.
2) A diamond-chip encrusted watch that my Daddy got her before they were married. She jokingly called it her “engagement watch” since he never gave her an engagement ring. (They married rather spur of the moment.)

Mia - What a great give away!
One of my favorites is a gold wishbone pin with a diamond at the tip. My grandmother gave it to my mother to wear on her wedding day; and my mother gifted it to me to wear on my wedding day. Am so grateful to have two young daughters who will (hopefully) pin it to their wedding dresses one day!

Bebe - I have to say my wedding rings! Love LL!

Bebe - I have to say my wedding rings! Love LL!

Tawny - My Tiffany heart. I have worn it for 8 years.

Melissa - after we adopted our daughter, my husband bought me a ring with her birthstone in it. the day she gets married, i’m going to give it to her.

Hannah O. - Meg! You have some pretty amazing sponsors! This would make a perfect Christmas gift for my mom AND sister, then I’d buy myself a pretty little necklace too 😉 my charm bracelet is definitely my most precious piece of jewelry, my mom has been buying charms for me and my sisters ever since we moved out of the house!

Jessica w - One of my favorite pieces is a Lisa Leonard bracelet from my husband that just says “loved.” My husband passed away this year from cancer so it is even more special now.
I love her pieces, they are beautiful.

Jody H - What a wonderful Christmas surprise this would be! My favorite piece of jewelry is a ring my aunt wore when she was a teenager. She’s been gone for over 25 years so it’s special to me.

Karey - My wedding ring!!!

Amy@littleforalittlewhile - Awesome! I was tickled pink when we got some swag from Lisa at craft weekend, us lucky girls! I am totally digging that new charm bracelet. My most meaningful piece of jewelry is actually nothing quite fancy at all. It’s simple and has three charms on it. Two of which are my children’s initials, and the third is a birth stone for our baby we never got to hold. I wear it when I need to carry them with me, like when i’m in labor or having a challenging day. It’s significance fills me and it makes me smile to carry my babies close to my heart. So glad I didn’t loose it at the craft house after all 😉

Sarah - Other than my wedding rings, a necklace my husband gave me the first Christmas we were dating and a “special occasion only” necklace from my grandparents for my college graduation.

Amber - I have a lisa leanord neckalce with the mason jar full of hearts…it has charms with both of my daughter’s on them. Love it and wear it all the time! My wedding ring is right up there too 🙂

Jennifer - My great grandmother (who is now with Jesus) gave me a heart locket necklace that was given to her by my great grandfather. I love wearing it close to my heart. Sure do miss that sweet lady!

Dara - my most meaningful piece is the diamond that my grandmother left me. I had it reset into a simple setting on a nice chain and I love it!

Stephanie Y - My wedding ring tops it, but also a necklace I got from my husband with my three children’s names on it. Thanks!

Dawn - My wedding ring, of course! 🙂 I so love Lisa’s jewelry!! So pretty. 🙂

Hole - A pin that was my great grandmothers photo in it . It belonged to her,and she was a teen in the photo…..

Kristi - This is awesome! I love all of her designs. And my most meaningful piece of jewelry is my engagement ring. I recently lost it overnight and it made me realize all the more how important it is to me. Such a symbol of the role my husband, marriage, and family play in my life.

katchen - When I was sixteen my grandfather sat me down at the kitchen table and gave me “the I love you ring”. It was given to him by my grandma, to her by her dad & to him by an aunt. You just have to promise to give it away to someone you love. It is an old white gold diamond ring & when I wear it I am comforted always. I plan to give it to my daughter.

Kim walker - My wedding ring of course.

casey - when my husband and I were dating, our first yr anniversary he gave me a ring that was specially made for me. It said FAITH, LOVE AND TRUTH. And 11 years later I am still wearing it (c;

lorena - A silver bangle my husband surprised me with. I always wear it and I love the clinking sound it makes when it hits my watch throughout the day. I always think of him when I hear it!

Karla S - I have a set of my grandmothers pearls that were given to me after she passed away. The set has so much meaning to me and they are my favorite pieces to wear.

Bethany - My wedding ring is my most meaningful piece of jewelry. I do love the Lisa Leonard necklace from our Craft Weekend swag earlier in November–she’s so talented!

Tonya S. - Definitely my wedding ring!

Amanda Fuentes - My grandmother’s locket.

Sarah - My grandmother’s engagement ring… she loves telling the story of how hard my Grandpa worked for it 🙂

bauman.wl@verizon.net - A necklace that my son bought me in 1st grade at his “holiday shop” at school. it’s so cheap, but i love that thing…

Deborah - My favorite piece of jewelry other than my wedding ring is a necklace that my husband got me last year from Lisa Leonard. I was so surprised and excited when I got it…I love it! It has my name and my husband’s name….love. I am always looking at her site to see what piece I can wish for next :).

Rachel - My family ring. After many struggles with infertility we are blessed with a boy and a girl! My husband gave me a ring with their birthstones for our tenth anniversary.

Janel - my grandmas wedding band that i wear next to my own!

Christy B - My most meaningful jewelry item is a necklace charm which has my daughter’s face on it, she passed away from cancer so I love wearing it close to my heart.

Courtney - besides my wedding ring, it would definitely be my necklace that has all 6 kids names on it!

mary - my wedding ring. both my husband and i endured so not so good marriages before we met, the ring he chose for me symbolizes our never ending love and friendship. we began as friends and that is never ending

--Deb - A remarkably easy question–the most meaningful piece of jewelry I own is my grandmother’s diamond ring. Not only is it beautiful and the only thing of hers that I have (she died when I was 9), but my mother chose to give it to me because she thought her Mom would have wanted it that way. Not to mention that she lost it on the beach on Martha’s Vineyard once, decades ago when my Mom was little, and my grandfather (rather miraculously) found it by scooping out a huge, double-handful of sand and letting it filter through his fingers. (Talk about family legend.) I love everything about that ring. But, Lisa’s stuff? That sure is pretty, too!

Lori Austin - The necklace my husband gave me for Valentine’s Day the year I was pregnant
with our daughter. He gave it to me knowing I would give it to her someday
when she is expecting her first child.

Terri Peters - My wedding rings because I’ve worn them for nearly twenty years and through all 4 of my children’s births.

melissahoop88 - My favorite piece of jewelry is my white gold diamond earrings my parents gave me for my 18th birthday 6 years ago. And I love LL! I want to buy my mom something of hers for Christmas!

Shauna - the necklace I wore when I got married (garnets, seed pearls, gold and silver beads) that is now in a sandwich bag since my daughter broke it. And my replacement wedding ring (the first one slipped off and got lost in a restaurant when I lost weight when I was pregnant) from my hubby.

Kim K. - It is absolutely my wedding/engagement ring. I love it still…25 years later 🙂

Shannon - my wedding ring and band cuz that’s where it all began 😉

Sheri Flatt - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is my wedding ring.

melissa - my most meaningful piece of jewelry is my wedding ring for sure! I would love to win a gift cert, those necklaces are beautiful! 🙂

Marcie - Besides my wedding ring… my most meaningful piece would be the rings my husband bought me with each of our three kids birthstones.

Tami Sickels - I have to say my wedding ring but not because of the reason you think. My grandma gave my husband her wedding band from my grandpa and my husband had a diamond put on it. So that is why it makes it extra special because I know it was given with love to my grandma and to me.

Angela B. - My wedding ring and a mother’s necklace my mom gave me for my birthday a few years ago.

kristy - My wedding ring…. but half the time it won’t fit over my knuckle! 🙂

Kristine - I love my grandmother”s earrings…she got them as a gift from my grandfather…
Love Lisa’s designs…bracelets the best!

jamie - My wedding ring:)

Emily - Aside from my wedding ring, it would be the locket my grandparents had engraved for me.

Kellie - This is not going to sound very original, but I have to say my wedding band. Letting my husband put this ring on finger was the best decision I ever made. 🙂

Amy - a necklace my husband gave me on our one year anniversary. with a teeny tiny diamond inside of a heart… 🙂 LOVE Lisa Leonard’s charm bracelet!!!

Rachel Walser - I love her stuff!! I have my mom’s wedding band that my dad gave her, with his inscription to her on the inside. I wear it when I wear gold jewelry since my wedding band is silver. I love that she gave it to me.

LibraryGirl62 - I <3 Lisa as well...and can't afford it!My favorite piece is one my kids gave me for Christmas-so sweet!

Cass M - My great grandmother, grandma and mother all had the diamond in my wedding ring …. so I guess that would qualify! 🙂

Ashley E - I love the ring my Aunt gave me as a older child (aquamarine in the middle of it), and I love the cross my parents got me as a teenager.

Maureen S - I love Lisa’s gold line that just came out. My new favorite necklace is her gold chevron. My favorite older piece of jewelry is a pearl necklace my husband gave me for Christmas. It’s just the perfect hint of vintage. Just thinking about them makes me giddy.

Tonya Lynn - For my 18th birthday I received a diamond ring from my grandfather. He passed away just 5 days later. I still wear the ring every single day.

Heidi of Operation Organization - most meaningful? all the antique rings i inherited from my grandmother .

Kirsten - While my husband has gotten me several pieces of special jewelry, my wedding band is my most precious piece!

Tracy Fisher - the two Tiffany bands my husband bought me for the birth of each of our children. they were the cheapest thing in the store. and all he wanted to do was give me a “little blue box”. we had no money. but he saved… and bought them one at a time. i cherish those rings for the kids they symbolize and the husband that is behind them. -tracy

Brigid - My most treasured? The painted clay hearts that each of my kids made for me when they were younger for Valentine’s Day.

Allison - Of course it’s my wedding ring – for obvious reasons – but the second most meaningful piece of jewelry I own is my grandmother’s wedding ring. My grandfather gave it to me along with his mother’s wedding ring a few months before I got married. The center stone in my grandmother’s ring came from my great-grandmother’s ring (she died when my grandpa was a child).

Merlin - A necklace that my brother made me. He died 22 yrs ago as a young man and I treasure that gift made with love.

Marilyn M. - My redone wedding ring and an antique sterling silver charm bracelet from my mom.

Grace @ sense and simplicity - It’s a toss up between the two necklaces my husband gave me for our 25th and 30th anniversary – love them both.

Courtney - My favorite piece of jewelry is a bracelet my mom had made for me. She took all her gold pieces and had them melted down and hammered into a cuff bracelet. I just love that it signifies my mom’s life.

Maura - A tie between my wedding ring and my grandmother’s wedding ring. I wear hers on my right hand.

Carrie h - I actually love my Lisa Leonard necklace that my husband gave me after the birth of our first child. It has her nickname on it that we were calling her before she was born. He surprised me with it!:)

Kirsten - wedding ring! but i also have a necklace with the initials of everyone in our family…that is a close second.

Kelly - my wedding ring

Angelina - Definitely my lisa Leonard necklace my hubby gave me as a push present. The necklace has an owl and we decorated my son’s room with some owls 🙂

Lori H - oops, that was supposed to be wedding RING

Jennifer - My grandmother’s wedding ring…I used to hold her hand as a little girl and just stare at her ring….and dream of wearing it someday. It’s really beautiful. She gave it to me two Christmas’ ago…she’s 88 and lives in a nursing home now–she said she’d rather I wear it now and enjoy it. Every time I wear it, I think of her and my granddad…he worked so hard to buy her this ring. It’s a tender reminder of the love they shared.

Lori H - My wedding is doubly special…it is made from the gold from my husband’s grandfather’s service medal.

Jamie - I love Lisa’s jewelry also! I have a bracelet from her with my kids’ names on it that I was ALL the time! But, I think the most meaningful piece I have is a heart charm necklace that says “I LOVE YOU” that belonged to my grandma…the grandma that always made sure we had a cookie in our hand.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Jolie - My wedding ring certainly! It is so symbolic of our vows, and my husband picked it out. There is nothing fancy about it, but I love the man who chose it for me!

mollie d - It’s probably pretty cliche, but my grandmother’s pearls. My dad got them for her in Japan when he was in Vietnam and I wore them on my wedding day

Allison - my wedding ring, it belonged to my great aunt. i told my husband before he proposed that i didn’t want an expensive ring, so he suggested we use my great aunt’s wedding ring that i inherited. 🙂

sam - I have a cross necklace that was my great-grandmother’s. When I was younger, I was allowed to wear it on special occasions. When I got into high school I had the chain shortened and have pretty much worn it every day in the 30+ years since.

Jenn N - What a treat to read the comments here and such wonderful stories and memories. We sure are a sentimental bunch 🙂
Of course my favourite piece of jewellery are my wedding rings but I also wear my Lisa Leonard silver Heartstrings necklace with my children and husband’s name on it almost every day. Thank you for the chance to add to my small collection.

lindsay - wedding ring my husband had made especially for me 🙂

Tracy H - I have a 3-string pearl necklace my grandma gave me when I got married…..she wore it at her wedding 60 years earlier. Something I will always cherish!

Kim - My mother’s college ring from the 1950’s. I feel her with me when I put it on.
Thanks, Meg!

Angie - I have a ring with my children’s names stamped on it. It was a Mother’s Day gift just after my son was born. I love it!

arcampbell@me.com - The most meaningful piece I own (aside from my wedding band) is actually a Lisa Leonard necklace with 2 of my children’s names on it – but I had another baby 2 months ago so I need a new one!!!

Autumn - Wedding ring 🙂

Julie Cox - My wedding ring and engagement ring of course, but after that comes an orange antique bracelet that my Grandmother who is from the Netherlands gave me that her Grandmother had given her. One day I will give it to my granddaughter.

Sara Torbett - Definitely my wedding ring! It is an antique and my husband picked it out completely on his own. 🙂

Alisa - I am a sentimental girl. I LOVE my engagement ring. It is the one my husband picked for me. To think of him going to the jewelry store and choosing what he thought I would love (and I did!) just makes my heart sing.

Cate O'Malley - I love her stuff, but it’s never in the budget. My most meaningful jewelry are two necklaces I have, one with each of my children’s first initials on a small round disc.

Leah - I love Lisa Leonard’s jewelry. It’s so beautiful. My favorite piece of jewelry is probably my silver heart bracelet my husband bought me many years ago. It’s simple and unique. Just what I like.

Erin - My wedding ring.

Nancy - My wedding ring is my greatest treasure.

Rae - My wedding rings. Took me forever to find the right guy. So blessed.

Heather Callahan - I adore Lisa Leonard and her jewelry! My favorite piece of LL jewelry would have to be a silver bracelet I purchased shortly after my daughter was born. She arrived almost sixteen weeks early, weighing only one pound and twelve ounces. We weren’t able to bring her home right away and I wanted something that helped me feel close to her. I ordered one of LL’s silver bracelets with all of my daughters birth information. I wear it every.single.day. My daughter is four now and doing wonderfully and I get comments on my bracelet all of the time.

Brenda - This is difficult for me to choose I lost me mom & gramma within 3.5 months of each other I wear the pearl necklace my gramma gave me for highschool graduation and on the same chain a pendant my mom had made for my 2 sisters and myself.

Michelle - I have a LL necklace with my kids on it that my hubby gave me for Mother’s Day and I adore it! I just found out that she has faith jewelry and I am drooling. So hard to pick.

Holly Spangler - I have a charm bracelet that was started by my grandma; She put those lovely old silhouette charms on for each of her grandchildren. Then my mother inherited it and added charms for each of her grandchildred (who all happen to be my children). I inherited it when she passed away last spring, and it is cherished for sure. My daughter already talks about adding charms when she gets it someday. 🙂

Tracey - Mine would def be my wedding ring and then a silver charm bracelet my husband got me several years ago.

Amy - So hard to decide…of course my wedding and engagement rings; then there is my Lisa Leonard necklace with my kids initials; a bracelet of my mothers; a pearl necklace my husband won on a radio contest; diamond earrings made from my grandmothers’ rings…too hard to pick!

Shawna - Without a doubt a charm bracelet that my husband had made for me after our first child was born.

ChrisA. - It would have been my wedding ring which came from my husband’s great aunt (over a 100 years old). Unfortunately, I lost it when we moved a few years ago. Therefore, my most meaningful is my mother’s ring that my husband gave me for my birthday one year. Beautiful, beautiful jewelry. Thanks so much for the chance to win.

Holly - Any jewelry from my grandmother. I wore her pearls at my wedding, and she left them to me. Love Lisa Leonard!

April - I have a white gold ring with an onyx in it from my mom. I hope to pass it to one of my daughters eventually. I love all of Lisa’s jewelrY.Thanks for the giveaway chance!!

amy - a thin, simple silver band that belonged to my great-grandma. it is nothing fancy at all but has been worn by several amazing women in my family and i can’t wait to give it to my girl one day.

Patricia - I have a bunch of pieces and they are what I wear almost all the time. My engagement and wedding band of course. of course! 100% of the time! 🙂 My husband gave me a diamond heart necklace for our 9th anniversary…the thought he put into it makes me smile whenever I’m looking at it. It is my go-to necklace that I wear every day. Sometimes I change it up though….with a necklace from my son. That he picked out for me for Christmas about 5 years ago. He was 4 years old. He literally picked out the “biggest jewelled” piece he could find at a little boutique. My husband tried to convince him to choose a different one that was less “spectacular” but he would have none of it! I laughed when I opened the present that Christmas morning because I immediately knew what had gone on just by looking at it. I still wear it proudly…and my son always notices right away when I’ve chosen to wear it somewhere special! 🙂

Lisa - My most meaningful piece of jewellry is the Lisa Leonard necklace with my boys names on it. I love her stuff and would LOVE to buy more!!

Mae - My two silver rings… that I gave myself! Two years after I started selling my artwork on Etsy, I decided to quit my “day job” to become a full-time artist. When I made the leap, I bought two handmade rings that say “to go into the world” and “to be brave” (words from my first painting) to remind myself that dedication and bravery pays off.

Sarajane - My wedding ring of course and my grammers wedding band next to it.

mary - Mine would have to be the necklace my husband gave me after he graduated from pilot training: a set of my own wings! He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes shortly after and can’t fly anymore so it means so much more to me now. Love Lisa Leonard and her beautiful jewelry!

Lisa - My most memorable piece of jewellery is my brother’s cross that was given to me after he passed away…

Leadia Jarvis - Since I was the only one of my grandmother’s grandchildren that didn’t have a sister, she chose me to inherit the gold locket she wore as a child. Inside are teeny pictures of her and my grandpa. The outside of it has a dent where she bit it when she wore it as a little girl. Totally special.

Meg Pitts - My favorite piece of jewelry isn’t actually mine. Kind of random…it’s sitting here on my craft desk (it needed a repair). It’s my mom’s locket from my grandmother. My grandfather sent it to her during WWll and it has a photo of himself on one side and my grandmother on the other. I’ve always loved that necklace and what it meant to my grandmother.

alicia @ la famille - well, don’t you just have some FUN giveaways lately!!! my favorite piece of jewelry is probably my tiffany’s horseshoe necklace from my honey for my 30th bday this last august. that little blue box was a material-dream come true! 🙂

nicole i - my wedding band with the inscription “as you wish”

mistycoatsluvs2scrap@yahoo.com - thanks for the great opportunity…love lisa too. my most favorite piece would have to be my diamond earrings. the first and only gift my husband was able to surprise me with. my husband is not a shopper, not really a gift-giving kinda guy so this was major. and he used his first commission check to buy them…took the entire check. 15 yrs. later and I can count the times I have taken them out for more than just a cleaning, they never come out.
thanks again!

Kirsten - The most meaningful piece of jewelry I have is a ring that my grandfather gave my grandmother on their 40th wedding anniversary. It is small and gold with tiny diamonds, but I know he saved and wanted to give her the best. My grandpa passed away in 1999, but his gift of love lived on when I wore it as I walked down the aisle on my wedding day in 2005.

Kate - Whoa…you’ve been doing some pretty amazing giveaways over here. Apart from my wedding rings…I’d have to say the necklace my parents gave me for high school graduation. It’s a VERY old coin from Masada, Israel set to hang on a silver chain. I love that it is so unique, and I love that my dad picked it out for me during a business trip to Israel. I’ve got my eye on a couple of gold pieces from Lisa’s shop…so, pick me…please!

Nancy - Besides my wedding band, I have a ring that my Grandfather gave my Grandmother for an engagement ring. They had an arranged marriage that was a lasting love.

jennifer f - Hey meg! Long time reader, first comment 🙂 so my dearest piece of jewelry is my bracelet. My mama Cece just went into the nearer presence of Jesus this summer. She was a bsf leader for over thrirty years and along that time the members of her class gave her a charm for each book of the bible they completed. She was able to do Isaiah the same year I began bsf . It was so special to finally share that with her. So when she passed away this summer my grandpa gave me her charm bracelet. I’m honored to have it, but blessed beyond measure that a lady like her shared almost e very day with me for 18 years of my life. I treasure this because when i wear it I feel her near me.

Lisa - I have a charm bracelet that has a charm on it with a picture of my daughter when she was six months old.

Lu W - My grandmother gave me a sterling silver guardian angel necklace and I feel her presence every time I grasp or glance it.

Jody - After my wedding ring…my necklace with all of my boys’ names on it…I wouldn’t go without it!!

Karie - Other than my wedding set, I have a sweet white gold and diamond ring that is identical to the rings my mom and sister wear everyday. I think of them everytime I look at it 🙂

Nicole Franks - Like many other readers, its my engagement ring and band. Can’t leave home with out ’em…actually never take them off 🙂

Adrienne - My mothers wedding band!

amelia - Other than my wedding ring, I love my earrings from my grandpa and the necklace from my grandma. I will always keep them.

shelley - my wedding ring. it is the only jewelry i own!

Anne - A necklace with a charm representing each of my three sons. The charms were originally part of a grandmother’s bracelet belonging to my mother-in-law. It’s very special with lots of history and meaning.

Sarah - My wedding rings!

Rachel - A necklace with my birthstone that my husband got for me just after our first child was born. My birthday, our anniversary and then our son’s birthday are all that month.

Donna - My favorite piece of jewelry is my wedding ring followed by my grandmother’s wedding ring.

Lorie - My sister gave me a beautiful heart necklace that I love!

Lindsaywillman - I cherish my jewelry that was given to me or belonged to my grandma. I have her wedding set and some topaz jewelry and I love it so much. I also love the pieces I’ve bought for myself to represent my kids. Would live to have another Lisa Leonard piece to add our new baby girl’s name to. She’s due tomorrow! Thanks for the chance to win.

Kati - My most meaningful piece of jewelry is a bracelet with my son’s name and birthdate on it. My sister got it for me….I have since had a daughter…and need to get something with her name and birthdate on it.

Kate B - My father gave me a beautiful pearl bracelet the day of my wedding. It means the world to me.

Melissa - Yay for Lisa Leonard is right! I am a big fan of her necklaces, bracelets, and her blog. All so beautiful! My most treasured piece of jewelry is my wedding ring. I am so lucky to have an awesome husband.

Caroline - Hands down my wedding rings! Well, in all honestly, they are the only jewelry I really wear since having kids:) My son is just getting old enough to start wearing it again now that he won’t rip my earrings out of my ears anymore! HA! OH, but if you count the elastic hairband that is always around my wrist, I’d have to rate that right up there with my wedding rings – I’m such a Mom!!!

Jeannine - My engagement & wedding rings are the most important rings I own. And, well, they’re the only rings I own. I can’t pick between them! I guess I should drop a hint to the husband that one of these days I want another one 🙂

Gretchen P - besides my wedding ring from my late husband, it would be my grandfather’s wedding band. I wear every day. He was such a special man, a POW in World War II. He taught me so much, and I miss him every day.

Rebecca - Besides my wedding ring, it’s a necklace in the shape of Africa that my husband gave me while we waited (and waited and waited) for our sweet son to come home from Ethiopia.

janet @ ordinary mom - A diamond necklace my husband bought me the Christmas after our youngest was born (she is now 6). It has 3 diamonds and was the first and only true SURPRISE jewelry purchase he made for me. And he did such a great job. Since getting pregnant I can’t wear my rings much anymore or I have reactions and rashes. But this necklace? It never comes off. 🙂

Staci A - I would have to say my wedding rings. They’ve been passed down through my hubby’s family.

the domestic fringe - I have a 4 Leaf Clover charm that my uncle gave my grandma when he was in the service. She wore it every single day since and we’re talking like nearly fifty years. She told me before she died it was mine, and now I have it, although I wish she was still wearing it.
~FringeGirl

barbie - the most meaningful piece that i own is my antique turquoise promise ring from my boyfriend. i never take it off. 🙂

Eva Scott - Besides my wedding ring, a lady gave me a charm that said MOM. I was feeling kind of down and she didn’t know it but felt like the Lord told her to take her own MOM necklace off and give it to me. She had no idea how I was feeling. I was overjoyed to say the least!!

Amy K. - I have never thought about which ONE piece is most meaningful to me, and now that I am thinking about it, I realize I am very lucky!! I have my grandma’s diamond stud earrings, of course my engagement & wedding ring, and also a diamond pendant that my (divorced) parents had made for me using the diamond from the engagement ring my dad gave my mom. They gave it to me for my 18th birthday & I was completely surprised.

Tina C - Of course my engagement and wedding rings. But also on that finger I have added a silver band that my daughter created in a jewelry class. The three rings symbolize the love and eternal bonds I have with both my husband and my children.

Jessica - My most treasured piece of jewelry is a faux diamond butterfly pendant given to me by my 6 year old.

Tracy - My most meaningful piece of jewelery is a charm bracelet that I’ve had forever. It has charms that so many important people on my life have given me. I wear it all the time and I love it!

jen - Love love love her stuff!!!! So perfect! My favorite piece of jewelry is my wedding band. It served as an engagement ring and wedding band for a while while my husband was deployed and then a traditional engagement ring was added later…I take my engagement ring off at night, while cooking, etc, but the only time that band has left my finger is when I’m in the hospital having babies. And then he’s the person that puts it back on my finger. I love it.

val - undoubtedly a circle shaped pin that a parent of a student of mine gave me after my grandma went to be with Jesus. It was her mom’s pin (who had also passed away) and she wanted me to have it to give me comfort. Sweetness!

Julia - My favourite piece of jewelry is the one that is on Lisa Leonard’s site that I drool over…no really, i wear two rings and that is it…my engagement ring and my wedding band. Besides that the only other fun jewelry that I wear is whatever my daughters create with their beads and paper and craft supplies. I even have to wear those to church…the fashion statements I make are amazing!
Anyways, I read your blog lots and this is the first time I have ever commented. I am no long a blog unindentified blog stalker! Thanks for your fun blog posts and I love reading about craft weekend! And I hope my girls can play volleyball like your daughter one day!

Angie Rathbun - My grandmother gave me a ring my grandfather gave her on their 30th wedding anniversary. I wear it on my right hand as the perfect compainion to my wedding ring. Together they are a daily reminder to not take for granted the gift of marriage.

Stephanie - My wedding ring of course!

Christy K - The most meaningful piece of jewelry I own is an amethyst ring given to me by my late grandmother, or Baba as I called her. My Gido (grandfather) was an amazing artist and during the war he was captured and put in a work camp. One of the supervisors at the camp admired his art and really wanted to own a piece, however did not have the money to pay for it. Instead, he traded my Gido a large piece of amethyst for one of his paintings. My Gido brought that stone with him all the way from Europe and once he and our family were settled here had it set into a ring. I wear that ring proudly and will forever treasure the story behind it. Thank you SO much for this opportunity… I have always wanted one of Lisa’s necklaces and would love to win! A very happy Wednesday to you!

Meredith W. - I wear my engagement and wedding rings every day and love them. Simple and classic. One of my most sentimental pieces is a gold necklace with an abacus on it that my grandmother picked up on one of their Navy travels to Hong Kong. She had many granddaughters she could have passed it down to, and I felt special that she chose that piece to give to me.

colleen from alabama - Wedding ring. I was 31 years old when i got it… I had waited a looooooong time and knew exactly what i wanted. I described it to my husband and he got it perfect. It is an emerald cut set sideways with a baguette on either side. To this day i have never seen anything like it. We’ve been married just 15 years and it still is my FAVORITE EVER!

Yvonne C - I would have to say my wedding ring. But after that is a bracelet I got from my grandma. It is silver with blue flowers and so special since it was given to me by my grandma from her collection.

Kelly - I treated myself to a charm necklace that I had been wanting. It was right around the time my husband and I were told that we the liklihood of having another baby was slim to none. I bought a necklace with charms thinking that it would make the thought of our complete family become more real. Little did I know at the time this was all happening that I was pregnant! Not only pregnant, but pregnant with twins! God is so good! Being able to add two more charms to my necklace was wonderful! I wear my five charms proudly!

Tanya - I have a bracelet that is for an inititative called “Bullets to Bracelets”, where Ethiopian women are taking bullets found on the streets and turning them into bracelets and a way to make a living. How could you not love that… <3

leslie - my key chain that has lots of charms and pennies from the year i met my husband, married my husband and the years our kids were born.

jen - The most meaningful piece of jewelry I own (besides my wedding rings) are my grandmother’s wedding rings. She died about 17 years ago but I still feel close to her when I slip those rings on my finger. I wear them often.

Gina - It would have to be my mother’s diamond that she had made into a necklace for me!

Michelle - My watch … A gift from my husband… I never take it off.

Emily Clark - A cross with my grandmother’s maiden initials on it, a gift she received upon high school graduation. Out of 8 granddaughters I was blessed with it.

Melissa - I don’t own much jewelry, but the piece I wouldn’t go a day without is my wedding band-I love it and love my husband more all the time!

Stephanie C - My grandmothers ring 🙂

Lachalle - I have a small ring my mom adn dad gave to me when I was alittle girl . Look forward to giving to my oldest daughter now . (still waiting til shes a littl ebit older yet ) I love our Lisa Leonard Jewels too !
~L~

Rmichaels63 - My wedding ring. The main diamond is from a ring of my mother in laws. There is also a super sappy proposal story that goes along with it, but that is for me! I took the ring about a year ago to a local jewlery store in a grocery store(not a good move) to have it resized. It came back in horrible condition and I couldn’t let them touch it again to fix it. Fast forward to today……I am a nanny for a jewler and he out of the blue asked me if he could take it to work and clean it for me. His wife brought it back to me this evening fixed and beautiful!

Stephanie Z - wedding ring…but really, the band that we got years later…one diamond for each of our children…

Trindin Cavalier - Shortly after building our home we were robbed on Christmas Eve..while we were at the local children’s hospital donating the items my students donated. All of my jewelry was stolen except my wedding set. The next day on Christmas my godmother gave me her 10 perfect diamond wedding ring from a man she divorced. She didn’t put her name but I knew she was trying to replace some of my stolen items. Fast forward 4 years later..same aunt shocks the family with news of her breast cancer…she died in 5 weeks. A year after her passing I had the ring made into a new ring to symbolize changes I made in my life…she would be so proud of who I am today. Every time I touch the ring I think of her watching me from above. It has been 6 years since Auntie Bonnie left this world and I miss her so much!
Thanks

Robin W - Definitely my wedding ring. It was my husbands grandmothers wedding band, so it will always have significance!

Heather - My favorite piece of jewelry is & will always be my engagement ring/wedding rings. Still SO precious to me 16 years later…

Nicole B. - I have a beautiful butterfly pin that was my Great Grandmother’s. Since she had already passed when I got married, I wore it on my petticoat-thing (is that what it’s called?), and then I wore it in my hair at my brother’s wedding – keeping her in the celebrations.

shepea - I have a mother and child necklace that my husband gave me when our kids were small, back before we could really afford it. It still means a lot to me and is very beautiful.

Seriously sassy mama - My favorite piece of jewelry are a pair of earrings my husband got me when we were in high school. They were only a dollar. I only have one now, but I love it just the same.

Nicole - The most meaningful piece of jewelry I own is the ring I wear on my right hand, always. It is a reminder that the Lord is always with me, even if one of the stones is missing.

Beth Ann - My wedding ring & the band that I got when my daughter was born. I was 28 when I had her, I intend on giving it to her when she is 28 or when she becomes a mother herself.

Amy G. - When my husband came home from his first deployment, he bought me an eternity band to match my wedding ring set. We had only been married for 6 months when he left, and he was gone a year. We renewed our vows with that band, and every day when I put on my rings, I put that one on last of all: the best for last. 🙂

Jennifer W - My engagement ring…my husband bought it on a college tour of Europe in Amsterdam and had no plans to buy it before he went. He had all the girls on the trip hold out their hands and then he picked the hands that looked the most like mine to size the ring. I never had to have it sized…it fit perfectly!! 🙂

Christine - My favorite piece is a heart shaped necklace with a picture of my mother and father inside it. Used to be my mom’s 🙂
Also I love love love Lisa’s jewls, and I think I will purchase something for a friend this Christmas, even if i’m not the lucky one!

Angela - I own a ring that is compromised of my parents wedding ring and a pearl my mother gave me when I was 16.

Karen Levsen Giddings - That’s easy. I have a a heart thumby necklace of my husband’s thumb print. I wear my cross with it because I know that he is in heaven. That is my favorite.

Emily - Hands down a necklace from my son. We moved across country a year and a half ago and it was very hard on my, at the time, 3 year old. Our first day in our new house he found a rock in the back yard and started carrying it in his pocket daily. He carefully took it out every night and put it back in his pocket in the morning. Last Christmas my husband asked him what he wanted to give me for Christmas and he said he wanted to give me his “treasure rock” so I would always feel safe with his love. My husband had this treasure from our backyard made into a necklace and it is by far my favorite and most meaningful piece of jewelry

Christine - After a long road of infertility I finally got pregnant with our little boy. I found out just before our anniversary so as an anniversary gift my husband gave me a necklace with a bean on it. The bean represented new life. I cherish it so much, I wear it all the time and it is such a sweet reminder of how precious that little life is to our family. 😉

Denise W - My little nephew picked out some little red earrings for me one time because of my love of the CA Angels baseball team and he makes sure that I wear them to all the games we go to – which is no small feat since I live in Nevada and they play in Anaheim California :)They mean the world to me.

Kate - The most meaningful piece of jewelry I own is my father’s ring. It was his father’s Navy ring, and my father wore it most of his adult life. I remember it on his hand, like a part of him. I never saw him without it. He passed away 2 years ago. As I sat with him at his bedside before he passed, he asked me if there was anything of his I would like. Without hesitation I asked for the ring. It just IS my Dad. It is too big for me, so I either wear it on my pointer finger or keep it by my bed. I treasure it, I like knowing it is there, sometimes i just twirl it between my fingers. The Navy seal is pretty much all the way worn off, it just looks like worn gold with a strange bit of etching, but to me, it is beautiful.

Sarah - I have my grandmother’s pearl and gold flower pin. It is one of my most favorite treasures!

Courtney - I have a braclet that some special friends got me for my daughters memorial, I love it more than anything.

jeanine - Wow they look like art museum pieces. I would love to do a doggy closeup.

Mandi - When I got married, my sister bought me a canvas of “The Art of Marriage.” It has things like never being too old to hold hands, never going to bed angry, giving each other a safe place to grow, etc. I look at it every day and strive to make my marriage my number 1 priority.

Christin S. - A singer sewing machine that was my great grandmothers.

Deeanna - My grams last letter to me and afghan she sent with the letter.. I pull it out when I miss her.. I can still smell her perfume :).. Makes me smile..

Kimber Gill - My most treasured piece is our wedding album 🙂

Amanda K - My favorite treasure is my engagement ring. After trying on rings together my husband surprised me with the most elegant custom ring he commissioned from a local jeweler. It’s beautiful. I love that I get to wear it everyday.

Katrina - I can’t pick just one favorite treasure. I treasure all the pictures in my home equally. I always get compliments and comments on all the pictures in every nook and cranny. Love them all.

kim - I would love to win a canvas from mpix!! I’ve been wanting one forever, but it is just not in our budget right now. My favorite treasure in my house other than my kids and husband is a blanket my grandma crocheted for me before she passed away.

Jenna B - No question, it would be my grandmothers hummingbird door stop. Random, I know, but it solid iron and survives all of my moves! Always makes me feel like I too, can survive being in new places.

Shannon - My favorite treasure is my “If Grace is an Ocean, We are All Sinking” chalkboard in my kitchen. Daily reminder.

Nanette - Right now it is a picture of my 3 boys on the 4th of July…from 2 years ago when my youngest still had rolls of baby fat under his navy blue shortalls…all waving flags, smiling and hugging. It has been front and center on my entry way table for the last few years and always makes me smile and remember how fast they grow!

Caroline - Hope I’m not too late! My treasure is my well loved 30 year old brown blanket that my infant son now loves to cuddle in.

ileana carlile - oh, I treasure my son’s artwork! I would love to win this canvas!Thanks for the chance. And yours are gorgeous!

melissa - mine is some paintings of sone cows my dad painted on wood…and a pink and white quilt my grandmother made me as a a little girl!

Sam Andrews - It’s hard to pick one treasured item in my house. I really love my antique wood bowl collection, my two Windsor chairs from the 1800’s and my antique blanket chest.

Kari - I have a box that I call my “Keep It Forever Box” It has all my little things I have collected over the years and don’t want anything to happen to. My Best Friends bracelet I had with my BFF at age 7, who is still my BFF. The foot prints from my half baby brother who I’ve never met. I’ve never seen pictures or anything. I’m not even sure how I ended up with them, but I highly treasure them. It would take forever for me to list everything in that shoe box and it’s meaning, but that box is definitely my favorite thing.

Christy - My grandmothers china. It’s all chippy from her many yrs of use and love.

Karen Brock - My grandma quilted a wedding band quilt for all of her grandchildren. I remember my Grandma fondly when I look at mine. She has passed on now, but I am lucky enough to have 2 additional quilts she made for me, which I will pass on to my twin daughters one day. It is a wonderful way to share a memory of her with my daughters who were never able to meet her.

jennibell - my favorite treasure in my home is a buffet that was my grandmother’s. i rescued it from my dad who was going to use it as a workbench!

Trena McNulty - so, so, so many…my MIL’s anniversary ring, my MIL’s birthstone ring…my great grandmother, Mamma’s farm table and chairs…my dad’s panda bear from his child hood.

Stacey - I would say the scrapbooks I have poured my heart and soul into creating for my kids.

Kasey - My favorite treasure is my antique bedroom set that my mom refinished for me when I was 12.

Jan A - I finally captured a good picture of the grandchildren all together. They would look great on a canvas!

Sharilyn - My favorite treasure is an old pair of binoculars that belonged to my father-in-law for many years. When he passed away 5 years ago, we inherited them along with a photo of a much younger Dad holding his two sons (my hubby and his brother) and these binoculars hang around his neck. The history of this display is priceless and timeless!
sharilyn sheerin

Alena - I love mpix too. I would love to win a canvas, I know exactly which photo I would choose.

Christina - I would have to think long and hard about that question. I’m trying to think of something I love and that makes me smile every time I see it. I have some things that belonged to my Grandma that I am so happy that I have, and I have some beautiful pottery that has Scripture on it, that I love. 🙂

jen - What a fabulous way to display your little treasures! Would love to win this one!;)

Bri - I would LOVE to win this!!!! My favorite treasure in my home are a set of two photos I have framed on my dresser, each one showing the moment I first held each of my babies on the day they were born.

It was made in the 1930’s!
I love to play it as well as learn about it’s history…

Tammy Larson - My favorite treasures are my photo albums and all the pictures around my house.

Jess - My favorite treasure is an old armoire that was passed from my grandmother to me. I’ve taken it to every apartment and finally our house!

Amy L. Weber - We have a huge, long home-made harvest table with quirky spindled legs that our very talented neighbors made and had on an yard sale. We hadn’t even moved into our house, but we snatched that table up right away. It’s the perfect piece in our dining room and is lined with antique, chippy painted benches.

Renee - My favorite treasure right now are the doodles/drawings/sweet art created by my children. They are priceless!

Keli - My first ‘hutch’ i bought by myself at an auction (for $20) when I was in high school and completely redid…stripped, painted, sanded, antiqued. It still is an inspiration for decor (and future decor) at my house!:)

Posey - My favOrite thing is a wooden bookcase, my great grandfather made for my grandfather! It even has his old pencil sharpener attached to the top shelf.

Andrea Catherman - My greatest treasure is a a vintage Kodak camera. My grandfather bought it for a whole &10.00, it was the first camera my grandparents ever had!! I have it now and it still works. I even have the original flash for it. I don’t keep it out because with 7 kids I am so very afraid of it being touched or dropped. I would take a picture of it and hang that. Then I could see it all the time and remember why I became a photographer!!

Laura - My favorite treasure is an antique mantle clock my dad bought on the day I was born. He even took it to the hospital. It’s my birthday clock.

melissa - my favorite treasure at my house is a set of three nesting tables i found at a yard sale, they work anywhere and have held many fun little collections

Lisa Perry - My favorite treasures are my chandeliers around my house…some old that I painted & rewired, and one new French looking wire one that just looks old. I have everyone one of them on a dimmer switch so I can keep the lighting soft in a room if I want 🙂

Emily - I treasure anything handed down to me from my mom that came from her mom. My grandma was a depression era woman, so nothing was wasted. I have a box full of her hankies that she embroidered and washed by hand for years. And her jar full of buttons. The list could go on and on.

michelle myers - Mine would be the mason jar collection I have. 🙂

carrolllane@gmail.com - My favorite treasure is my collection of treasures from various “treasure walks” with my daughters through-out the years. It is a small collection of the most interesting acorns we’ve ever found and they sit on a small, antique shelf that my Mom gave me. It had been her father’s and no it’s mine…with treasure from my girls.

Melissa - My favorite treasure is an antique hutch that I painted turquoise. I saw it in the back of a gaming cafe and asked the owner about it. He said his ancestors had brought it across the ocean when they immigrated. He said he didn’t really care about it and I could have it. I was beyond ecstatic. I get a lot of compliments on it, and it’s my favorite piece of furniture. The inside of it has that old musty smell, which I actually really love. It smells like history!

Crystal L - my favorite treasure is an old printer’s drawer turned shelf– I like to put all the cool little shells and rocks the kids come in with on it.

Lizz - Oh it is hard to pick just one treasure…I think right now my favorite and most recent treasure is my 90 year old grandfather’s Kodak Hawkeye Brownie camera…with film still in it! 🙂

Ashleigh Slowik - I think my favorite treasures in my house are my belly castings of when I was pregnant with each of my 2 children. They capture one of the very most magical moments in my life!

Carrie - My wedding ring, for all the normal reasons & because it is the only piece of real jewelry that remained after a fire destroyed our home & belongings.

Mae - holy happy giveaway batman! i would probably say just the plain old porcelain white dishes from my grandma. i miss her so much and despite the chips and wear, love having that little piece of her in my family now – connected to my kids who never had a chance to meet her. sappy!

Christy - Family is my favorite treasure, but I’m pretty fond of my vintage turquoise couch!

julie - My favorite treasure is an old quilt I got from my husband’s grandma. No one else in the family wanted it and it had all my happy colors and florals patched all over it. LOVE!

Tara - My favorite treasure or treasures are all my paintings made by my hubby!

Corby - My favorite treasure is my family and all of the photos that I capture of them!

Breeanna @ a brilliant melody - My favorite house treasure is the pictures I have up of my grandma of when she was a little girl.

Zoe - Family photos, letters written between my husband and I when he was deployed, mementos from my babies’ newborn days.

Amy - My favorite treasure is my collection of old cameras. I started with cameras from my grandparents and parents and have added to it over time.

Jessica Jackson - My favorite treasure is a vintage buffet I inherited from my grandparents. It’s a mid-century piece that I love to death.

Eliece - I treasure my children’s artwork. I’ve framed their best from when they were little until now and hung it all in our laundry room which is the first room we enter from our garage. It makes me happy even when there’s loads of laundry to be done!

Shannon - My kids stuffed animals. Sounds funny but a couple of them were mine when I was younger and are in ok condition still. Every time I see one lying around it makes me smile and think of when I was growing up!!!! I treasure them the most next to my kiddos n hubs!!

Carey Sims - My favorite treasure is my grandfather’s railroad watch. My grandmother had given the watch to my brother in secret to avoid fighting within the family. When my brother passed away the watch became mine. I will always treasure it because it belong to two great men.

ZW - My favorite treasure is my collection of milkglass that used to belong to my grandmother. 🙂

Roxanne Tucker - I’m a huge mpix fan! My favorite treasure are the Shisa Dogs, small figurines that traveled home with me from Okinawa, they sit facing our door “protecting” our house. 🙂 Happy Holidays!

Erin E - My favorite treasure is the desk that my dad made for me when I was a little girl. It makes me smile to see my daughter now sitting at the same desk!

lisa currie-gurney - I think my favorite treasure around our house would have too be a wooden rocking chair that use to be on my grandmothers porch. When I was a child, each spring she repainted it a dark hunter green, weather it needed it or not. She would rock each evening in it, and say Hi to the neighbors passing by. Not only is it special because I remember her on her front porch, but because she did this short, little rock in it, and she used it so much, (no one else was allowed to sit in Memere’s chair), that she wore it out, and it now rocks the very same way. She has been gone for, 25 years, and I still feel her rocking in it each time I use it.
Hugs From My Heart

Tera Baldwin - My family!

Heather M. - My children are my best treasure. Other than that it’s hard to say, maybe all my old photos and my little treasures from when I was a baby.

Jill Denton - All the little things in my house are so special to me– one of my favorites is a little chunky wooden bird that belonged to my grandmother.

Kara Abbey - my favorite treasure is: my books!! i have a whole library i have been collecting since i was a little girl 🙂

Cherene - One of my favorite treasures is a black and while panda lamp that I found at the flea market. I paired it with a beaded shade and it looks like he is wearing a asian inspired straw hat! I love it!!

bigjim73@cox.net - That’s an easy one———–my family!

Nichole Goldworthy - My three kids!!

Stacey - My favorite treasures at my house would be my kiddos, so I have three treasures 😉

Janet Thomas - One of my favorite treasures is an baby doll cradle that a friend of the family made for me when I was 5. He put so much time and effort into it. I thought one day my little girls would put their baby dolls in it, but since I have 2 boys, I’m going to have to wait for granddaughters to use it.

Teresa - My favorite treasure is my dresser that belonged to my Great-Grandmother.

Deidre Walker - My favorite treasure(s) are my children…so the item(s) that I “treasure” the most are their pictures at candid moments. While no picture pro like you, I do take lots of pictures of my four children and have them displayed (on canvas or large black and white prints throughout my house…to help me remember all of the moments that I cherish the most and to be a reminder of how blessed I am to be their mother. If I lost everything in my house, I would be the most sad about losing our pictures or the memory cards where they are all stored!

Mistelle Hollister - All my photo’s. I have lost my father so I know photos is a way to remember loved ones who are no longer with us.

Chris Goss - My favorite treasure in my house is my grandfather clock.

Sundee - My favorite treasure is a pooh bear snow globe my sister gave me a super long time ago.

Kyley and Ammo the Dachshund - My favorite treasure at my house is my dog! A photo of him would be so cute on canvas!

carolina - My fave treasure is A vintage kodak brownie and I put it in my luving room.

Julie - sounds silly, but my favorite treasure is my couch… because it is where i get to snuggle my husband and children!!

Lori - My favorite treasure (s) are my husband and daughter.

Elisha J - My favorite treasure is my antique brooch that belonged to my grandmother.

cody ash - my favorite treasure is our Coke glasses. Something about the memorabilia from Coke just never dies in my book.

Leah - I have a quilt that my great-grandma made…it is threadbare in places, but I just love it!

Amy - My favorite treasure is the fire escape pull my hubby got from a building he demolished….it sits in my kitchen ready for my fires! 🙂

Miriam - My favorite treasures are the little love notes that my husband has written over the years. Would love to have a canvas made of him and my children.

Kristi Barrett - This is really cheesy, but my favorite treasure in my house are my children and my husband!

Chris - My favorite treasure at home is a picture I took in China when I went to adopt my daughter.

Emily - Gosh that’s a tough one, deciding my favorite treasure…probably one of the pieces of antique furniture I inherited from my grandma:) I thought your canvas was an actual gum ball machine until I looked closer. The canvases from mpix look amazing. The colors are to die for!

Amy M - My greatest treasure is my horse. Or my dogs. I can’t play favorites between them. 😉 And I’ve been itching to get a beautiful canvas done of my horse since I bought him…this would be perfect.
I’ve just recently started using mpix for my picture printing, and I have been VERY pleased.

Heather D - I love gallery wrapped canvases! I know the quality can vary greatly so I’ve been looking for a reliable company to use. Thanks for alerting me to mpix.

sonya - We have moved across states so much in the last 4 years that I haven’t really collected much but there is this figurine that looks like me that I like to photograph on all the adventures we have. I also treasure my fabrics that I have collected from France.

Rachel - This may sound cheesy . . . I have a lot of antiques from my parents that I do treasure because of the memories behind them – but ultimately my treasure is my family. Four very loud kids and one great husband.

Charity - I can’t pick one!…All the wonderful things crafted by my family!

S Beggsmiller - My favorite treasure in my house is my grandfathers old camera that he gave me. He was a professional photographer, and since I am the oldest grandchild and LOVE photography, he gave a couple of his cameras to me. They are amazing and have such wonderful memories attached to them.

kris gilbert - My very favorite treasure at our 100+ year old home is a newspaper that was found in our wall when we were renovating. It had my maiden name written in cursive at the top of the page. We found out after searching the title of our home, etc. that my great uncle had lived there for a short time span well before I was ever born. THAT blew my mind (my grandparents had passed away and my father was too young to remember it) ~ it’s just the coolest thing to know that someone from my family lived there prior to my husband & I.

Amy - Any letter/note/card that my children has made for me!

Melissa B - We recently had our family portrait done by Blue Lily (based on your recommendation :-)) Not only did they rock, but they captured my family beautifully! I would love to create a new treasure to my mantle to include their awesome work of my already treasured family.

Terri Lynne Barrington - My collection of snowglobes are my favorite treassure. Each one is so magical in its own special way.

Audrey - My favorite treasure is my grandfather’s organ. I inherited the organ when he passed away. When I got married 20 years ago I hauled it with me to California. Since then I’ve been hauling it with me through all our moves(military). I don’t know how to play it and I’ve lost the speaker somewhere along the way. It still sits in my living room and I love it. I love the memories it brings me. Maybe I will fix it and learn to play it so I can leave the same memories behind.

Charlton - I LOVE the quilts my grandmother and great grandmother have made and given me and my daughters.

Michelle M - My photos of my husband and kids are my favorite treasures! I love mpix!

gina - My favorite thing at my house would be my family. My canvas would probably be a picture of us on vacation. We love vacations.

Sandy W - My grandma’s vanity is my favorite treasure. I remember sitting at it when I was a little grl and putting her powder on my face.

Heidi C - Newborn’s feet, wrapped in his sister’s hands 🙂

Jenna - The baby quilts made by my mom and two grandmas for my sweet baby boy.

Julie Wearmouth - My favorite treasure is an antique cross stitched sampler I bought from a sweet little woman at a flea market. It’s very old and beautifully made.

Karen - My very favorite treasure is a child size ice cream parlor chair that belonged to my grandma. She got it when she was a little girl and kept it until she passed away. It was a different color almost everytime I went to visit her and I think every grandchild sat in that chair at some point. Every time I walk by it I think of her. I love mpix too!! Pick me!

Katie - Oh, I love those canvases! My favorite treasures are my children and their artwork on my walls!

Caroline Simas - My grandfather’s original oil paintings and the four portraits of our children. LOVE the canvases!!!! And the ap! Thanks Meg!

Katie - My favorite treasure is an old swivel rocker chair my grandma and I would sit on and read books. Now it’s in my daighter’s nursery and I get to rock her on it and read books together.

Jessica Wheeler - Pastor Shane gave me a red and white quilt when we first got married and I LOVE it:) lots of sweet memories::)

Staci - Love our collection of children’s books! Having taught for over 15 years…..there are many treasures in the children’s lit dept. around here! We rotate each month with the arrival of the basement bin of our “holiday books”. We ALL l-o-v-e this part of our home.

Laura - Besides my family…I’m currently enjoying all the Christmas decorations that I’ve enjoyed my whole life and now sit in my home to share with my own daughter, especially a Christmas quilt my grandmother made for me when I was a toddler.

Jenn A. - Gosh, I think my favorite treasure at my house is the scrapbooks I have made, because they capture all of the life that we have lived in this house (and even from before).

Ashley B. - My favorite treasure is a small ceramic turtle I painted (glazed) – my younger brother and I both love turtles, so it’s sort of our “thing,” and we live across the country from each other, so it’s my tangible connection to him.

betsy - I bought my condo as a single girl at age 27. I filled it with mostly hand-me-downs from my parents, sister & my favorite Aunt when I first moved in. My favorite treasure is a 9-foot painting that came from my Aunt. The picture is hard to decipher, but mostly just includes a lot of metallic paints. It makes for a great backdrop for photos and is always a conversation starter. Wherever I go, it will always make the move with me!

Gina Maserang - My favorite treasure is a porceline figurine of hands given to me by husband. I hated it when he gave it to me and thought it was a last minute-couldn’t find anything else-valentine’s day gift. Then we got in an argument a few years later and I picked it up and threw it. It cracked. He then told me that he looked everywhere for it because I always tell him I love his hands (worn, hard working carpenter hands). It proudly sits on our dresser, crack and all. (The crack is important because w/o it, I wouldn’t know the meaning of the gift.)

shannon - I LOVE mpix! My most treasured things are family photos and mementos of all of the sweet times we have had together as a family.

Stephanie - My boyfriend and my bunny. I’d probably print a canvas of them!

Jenven - My kids drew “self portraits” in preschool & they totally fit their personalities – our son drew himself with lots of zig zag hair & zig zag teeth-definatley our high energy child! Our daughter drew a HUGE circle head with a BIG smile-she is full of joy & always smiling! They are now in Kind & 1st grade and I have wanted to make a collage of those drawings & their preschool pictures. I would love to put them on MPIX canvas’!

Jennifer - I’ve always said that if I had to take one thing from my house and leave the rest I would take our photos. I have photos of my childhood, my husband’s childhood, our daughter’s birthmother’s & their families, and of course, tons of photos of our daughters. Photos are so precious!

Dawn - Definitely pictures of my 4 sweet girls & husband. Photographs mean a lot to me & represent such special memories.
Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂

Maureen Troop - My favorite treasure(s) at my house are the people who live here with me…my 3 boys and my husband!

Kim walker - My first bed that my husband and I bought together. It is now in my son’s room.

Shay - This means something completely different to me at this season of my life. I do love stuff, as others have stated, but my family and I sold 90% of everything we owned to move to the mission field 2 years ago. Talk about changing your perspective. In my house that I live in now, on the field, there is not a whole lot of “stuff” that holds much meaning. It’s hard not to say my husband and kids are my greatest treasure, but to that I would have to add my Bible, my journals that I’ve filled up here, and our family photos that we painstakingly packed to display here to make it feel more like “home”. Those are the things I wouldn’t leave here without.

Joy - My favorite treasure is the shell mirror that I made from my collection of seashells from Galveston. Wonderful hours of beachcombing are conjured up in my memory every time I look at it!
Just absolutely adore your paint tray and bubble gum maching canvases!

LibraryGirl62 - OMG! SO in LOVE with MPIX!!!!! I did my daughter’s senior pics myself and the quality and price are amazing! My treasure (after my kids) are two rusty peeling 1970’s metal lawn chairs my grandma gave me. Everyone hates them, but I cherish them 🙂

Kate - My favorite treasure is always changing. Today it is the birthday crown my son was wearing in the kindergarten line at school. He is already taller than his peers and his crown made my sweet, shy boy stand out even more. I have six kids and have never had a canvas made– thanks for the chance!

sherri - photos of my four kids when they were little, that’s my biggest treaaure. my baby girl is almost 18 and i love to look at the old photos.

traci in virginia - My one favorite treasure would have to be the cookbook my Mother assembled for my sister and I many years ago. She adds to it each Christmas. It is huge and has all the family favorites and beautiful pictures of her handmade quilts. Such a treasure and I know the time she put in to making it for her “girls” 🙂

Amy Hartman - My great-great-grandmother’s blue enamel cookstove. We don’t have it hooked up, but I store art supplies and books for my girl in the oven and warmers and on the cooktop. I’ll be decorating the very top for Christmas soon…snow, glitter, little trees and deer.

Jill - My favorite treasure(s) in my home are my four kids. We’ve moved so many times since 2003, roughly every two years give or take a few months, and they are the only thing that has remained consistent, even tho we did add a kiddo with every out-of-state move except the last one. LOL
They are both my blessings and my treasures. They have brought me pure joy in stressful moments and have helped me to see the beauty in the new “adventure”. I have learned so much from watching them and how the have struggled or adapted each time. I only hope that someday
So yes, of all that is in my home, it is my children that are my favorite treasure(s)…

beth - I’d have to say favorite treasures are my photobooks and scrapbooks. I need to put them in a fireproof safe or something. I don’t know what I would do if I ever lost them!

Karie - Family photos…for sure 🙂

Stephanie - My favorite treasure at my house is my vintage salt-n-pepper shaker collection.

val - favorite treasure?…an old bench that i got in a free pile at a yard sale. i just keep moving it around…inside and out.

Lisa - I love my desk from graduate school. It has lots of character and lots of memories.

Wendy - Love your new print! So many yummy things here … but one is an old ceiling light in my hall that I was told came out of an old movie theater. Old stuff makes me smile 🙂

Michele - I have a scrap metal peacock in the yard that I just love. That and my collection of Nicaraguan pottery would be my favorite things.

Heidi - I love my red dresser. Grandpa bought it for $5 at an estate sale and I repainted it. I heart it so much.

Stact - My most favorite treasure in my home is my family and our family photos. I would love to have a canvas of one of our family photos. Love your blog! It makes me smile everyday!

Hope Craven - My favorite treasures are watercolor paintings by my MIL. She now has dementia and is unable to paint, so all the paintings she has given us over the years, mainly in the form of cards, are irreplaceable.

rkokes - My favorite treasure is an afghan my best friend crocheted for me years ago. I love the purple and off-white colors, it is SUPER soft, extra long, and nice and heavy so it doesn’t slide off.

Katherine - It’s hard to pick a favorite. One of my favorites would be one of the original keys to my home. It’s so intricate and special.

carrie - My treasure is my family… all the rest is just stuff! But it is great stuff, and helpful stuff, but I’d hands down choose my family over the ‘stuff’! 🙂
I do love your bubblegum picture! I would like that exact print!
Thanks, Meg!

mary beth - The old family Bible of my grandmother’s with all the records hand written in that beautiful handwriting that noone can do anymore….thanks for such a great giveaway!

Kate Smith - My favorite treasure is small ceramic statue of a mother reading to a child. It’s very simple and plain. What makes it special is that my father-in-law bought it for me about 10 years ago, the Christmas before he died. He wasn’t a very emotionally expressive man, but I knew that he had bought that little statue just for me as a way of telling me he approved of how I was raising his grandchildren. It is a gift I love dearly.

MamaBear - The family cookbook we put together for my mom’s 70th birthday. A work of labor and love, but so worth it. Full of YEARS of treasures.

Angela - When we had to evacuate due to a hurricane a few years ago, I packed one suitcase and then all my photos and scrapbooks. I guess they are my biggest treasure.

Steph T - Fav treasure?
Hmmm… Probably my picture printed games cabinet.
Mid century modern lines and a big ole picture from our town fair pasted to the front!
It’s on castors and I always think I’d roll it right out of the house if there was a fire. Lol

Chas Holmquist - My favorite treasures are all the personal family photos I have taken.

Annie - Hi Meg,
One of my favorite treasures is a wooden piano jewelry box that my grandma gave to me when I was a little girl. It sits on my dresser filled with old jewels.

michelle - probably my 3ft barnwood angel that hangs over our fireplace- fav treasure!!

Dani - OH! I really would LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I was just telling my husband that all my pictures are going to waste because I don’t display them. This would make me so happy!
My favorite treasure…. I inherited a cedar chest when my grandmother passed away a few years ago. My Uncle Danny made it. He was killed in Vietnam and I was named after him. Having it at my house makes me feel like I have a special part of him (besides my name!)!

cailan - My favorite treasure…the letters my husband and I wrote back and forth to each other when we were courting. I also love my vintage typewriter 🙂

Lauren Fortney - besides my husband and my girls, there are several pieces of furniture my dad has made for me that i treasure so much. the time and love that went into making them are priceless! i love mpix!!!

mandi@herbanhomestead - Oh my goodness! It is so vivid I had to scroll back up to see what print you were talking about. I totally thought it was the real thing on first glance!
My treasure is my great grandmother’s butter churn. It is a small glass and metal one and I adore it. I like to make my own butter too, so the connection is there, you know?

Jessica - I have this piece of scrap metal that my friend welded my name onto. It was an odd gift at the time but over the years it’s really grown on me. I have it above my bedroom door.

Valerie Alexander - Hmmmm…My favorite things…Most definitely my many many albums of photos, both old and new. Friends, family, adventures, my little ones. Priceless! Oh how I would love to win this giveaway!!

Danielle - Favorite treasure would have to be my 3 kids (although they are all out of the house now – maybe that’s what makes them a treasure!!).

Nicole Q. - Favorite treasure — that is so hard; right now I’d say some of my kids drawings that I have framed. I’m amazed with their talent and the pictures really show their love for life.

Shelby A. - I have so many treasures! One of my very favorites is a drawing of our family that my little boy did right after I had my daughter when he was 3 years old. It shows the four of us as sweet little stick-figures–all smiling and happy!

Clara Field - My favorite treasure is the smooth stones I’ve collected over the years. I would love to win a printed pic! WOW!

Vera - A hutch that my grandfather painted with flowers on it. It was the only thing I wanted from my grandparents’ house when they passed away, and it makes me happy every time I walk into my kitchen!

jena - I treasure my personal artwork too. I took a picture of the temple my husband and I were married in and I proudly display it in my front room.

Heather - My mom passed away last year so my treasured items relate to her. A necklace with a little makeup still on it. Recipe cards in her writing. The valentine hearts that she’s sewn for me once a year. It’d be so great to put a collection onto canvas.
LOVE your gumball machine!

Amy - I LOVE Mpix. I will never go back! My favorite treasure is a big jar of my grandma’s button collection.

Leah G. - Based on your ad over on the side of your blog, I ordered some Christmas presents and prints from mpix. I can’t wait for them to arrive! My most prized possession I wear every day- my lovely wedding band set. My boyfriend (aka- hubby of almost 10 years) made only $50/week when we got engaged. How he worked it out to buy me that precious diamond, I do not know, but I absolutely love it and what it represents!

Staci Hutyra - My favorite treasure at my house is a picture of my daughter holding her baby brother.

Jen - My favorite treasures are family quilts made by my great-grandmother, mother, and myself.

Bethany Case - My favorite treasures at my house are the stuffed frog my friend gave me before he left for Iraq the first time, and a blanket my grandma made me.

Trae Kendrick - My favorite treasure is my Granny’s and my Papa’s Bibles. They are well worn, but they are priceless to me!
I love, love, love the picture of the gumball machine. Seriously adorable!

Megan B - I have a mosaic of a gorgeous tree that my husband got me on a trip to Jordan. It is stunning and I love that he met the local people who made it.

Gretchen - Gosh! Hard to choose. At first i thought of my Mason and Ball jars given to me by my Mom and Mother-in-law. Then my old wooden sewing spindles; old boxes; baskets. Too hard. But, my most treasured are my family pictures. Ones from me growing-up and my kids. Those are the most precious. So, i would probably have to use a favorite photo and that just starts another mess trying to decide which one. 🙂

Laine - Other than my family (and all the bazillion pics I take of them), my favorite treasure is a cross-stitched and then quilted alphabet quilt that my mother made. She was on bedrest in the hospital with me for months and on medicine that made her hands shake constantly and yet she made that for me! And several handsmocked dresses. It’s amazing. If you want, you can see a pic of it in this post about my school room. http://www.justlaine.com/2012/11/the-school-room-before-and-after.html
BTW, that gumball machine print is incredible. LOVE it.

Becky - My favorite treasure at my house is the antique secretary desk that I purchased from my grandparents estate sale. My grandma always treasured it, and made sure we were very careful around it. I am the same way, now that it is in my home (especially with my busy kiddos). I immediately think of her, every time I see it.

Becky Jones - Of course my greatest treasure is Jesus..then the sweet hearts in our home…materially, I treasure a simple old journal that I gave to my precious Grammy and Pap back when I was in college {20+ years ago}..they wrote out their daily devotions for one year in there as well as their daily prayers for the whole family..name by name…the end is in my Pap’s writing “If we go home to Jesus first, give this to our dear Becky-girl”..they went home and I treasure each page of that book…soooo precious…thanks for the beautiful giveaway..I am thinking of a canvas of one of those journal pages next to a photo of Gram and Pap! 🙂

Jen - I have been looking for a company like this for ages and just stumbled across THE ONE on your blog. Thanks! My most treasured item at home, aside from my family, of course, would be my dad’s old torquoise jewelry from the sixties, which he acquired after returning from the Vietnam War. The rich history is just the begining of the sentiment…

nessa dee - My favorite treasure has to be my son, August’s, quilt, My daughter, mother, grandmother, and mother-in-law all helped to make it.I take a pic of my son with it evry month.
http://nessadeeart.blogspot.com/2012/10/2-months.html

northern cottage - I’m totally drooling over your canvas!! Incredible…I would love to have one for this cottage! You asked about a fav treasure…oooh that’s a hard one but I’d have to say a round top wooden trunk brought from Europe by my namesake great grandmother and passed down to me…it now holds treasured momentos and collections from my kiddos.

Johanna - My greatest treasure would have to be my son! In light of the fact that today is my brother’s birthday who passed away 11 years ago, I see that this little life I have been blessed with is my greatest treasure! Soaking in every moment with him.

Kirsten J - Ok. Here’s what a dork I am: I saw your twitter post and thought that gum ball machine was real!

Kim - Favorite treasure..that’s a hard one. I have 2 recipe cards handwritten by my grandma that I love. Maybe a picture of one of those printed on a Mpix canvas is in order!

the whyte house - an antique radio that i inherited from my dad. i turned it into a dollhouse for my daughter last year. it makes me happy that she has something from her grandfather that she can pass down, too.

Corny - A Wand-Uhr (wall-clock} from my Grandmother I got from my Dad after he past away.

Lee Welch - We found an old ceramic chicken feeder in the rafters of my Grandfather’s garage/shop. We didn’t know that there were ceramic ones. Of course, all of the new ones are plastic. My father who is 76 only remembers metal ones so this one is pretty old but in excellent condition with a sweet little etching of a chicken on it. It now lives in my house, moving around to different spots but always a conversation piece.

Rosslyn Weigelt - Mr treasure is my family and the history we have together, captured in thousands of photos and displayed in many crafty ways around our house. Really adore your watercolor canvas, striking image! Love the colors.

Krista Wiehle - My favorite treasure is a quilt passed down from my great grandmother. It is huge and has tiny squares…lots of love went into making it!! 🙂

Jenn B - My favorite treasure at my house is an old vintage cobalt blue glass pitcher from my Grandma. It is shaped in a rectangle and has a little indent for holding on the side.

JustMommer - It’s so hard to pick a favorite treasure, my house is decorated in a vintage style, but one of my favorites is an old candy scale we found in Kentucky. It reminds me of getting a special treat at Monkey Wards, they would measure out the candy using great big aluminum scoops, dropping the candies piece by piece to get the weight just right and then pouring the candy from the big scoop into a tiny white paper sack. I keep seasonal candies in the scoop, candy canes for Christmas, jelly beans for Easter and the yucky black and orange peanut butter chews at Halloween. Nobody ever eats them, the rest I always have to refill. Love your gumball canvas!

Bree - My favorite treasure at my house, is a old Vase/Bowl from my great grandmother, its gold and cream with hints of pink and red. Just Beautiful.

Megan - I’d have to say I treasure all our family photo’s the most!

Kat G - Besides my family, one of my favorite treasures is my collection of 11 wooden hand-craved Santas that I display on the mantle every December.

Carrie - My favorite thing is my bed…we all love to snuggle up in there and watch tv or read. I just love it so much.

Eleanor - I love my cowboy boot collection. MHHHMMMM I wear a pair almost every day. 🙂

wesandruthb@gmail.com - Oh Meg you are so FUN and thought provoking hmmmm…
If in a fire, obviously family and albums would go first
then my Dad’s journals which I have, they are a
legacy of love and faith.

jessica - An old child size wooden rocking chair that my 2 sisters and I sat in when we were little. Now my girls sit and rock in it 🙂

katy - Besides the obvious “my family” answer…I think my favorite treasure is the print in my dining room that used to be above my parents’ bed.

Jamie - An old green and gold mirror from an antique store.

KatieD - Pictures are definitely a treasure. Love all my scrapbooks and memories they hold!

Kattastik.wordpress.com - Photographs and my children’s artwork. Especially the drawing of our family my six year old recently drew. Love it!

Elizabeth.cannata@csulb.edu - My favorite picture is of my wedding after going through a hard divorce. My youndgest son was the ring bearer and the oldest son was the best man. It was such a beautiful day with everyone so happy. We haven’t been able to print the photos from 3+ years ago because we both got laid off. Thanks for the chance to win something!

Jen Allred - The handmade cradle my grandfather made for my mom when I was born.

Nicole Francis - A toss up between my uncle’s old maps and my grandma’s star of david bowl! 🙂

Jennie P - My 3 boys, all who blessed our lives through the gift of adoption!

Mallory - My greatest treasure in this home, is not actually inside, but outside. We are moving this spring and I would love a big canvas of the yard/view we will be leaving behind as everything we own will be coming with this, that view will not.

Amber - One of many favorite treasures is a print of a St. Bernard walking next to a young girl, carrying her bag around his neck with the mother looking on beyond the white wooden gate. The wording reads, To school well fed on Grape-Nuts. Advertisement of long ago. I grew up with this print and St. Bernards, so when I moved out I was thrilled to be given such a family gift.

Marcie - Besides my three kids and hubby… the thing I most treasure in my house would have to a baby lion stuffed animal that my dad had given to me when I was born. I slept with it every night when I was little and now my oldest daughter sleeps with it. I love that she has a little piece of her grandpa, who is no longer here.

Amanda - it’s great to inherit these kind of treasures from family. in my house my current fave is an old wash stand with red chippy paint – and an old mirror that matches with the same paint. love a pop of red!

Kathryn - My favorite treasure is my three little girls and my wonderful husband 🙂 And next, my marked up, full of notes Bible that has changed my life forever. Praise God! And thank you for the giveaway. I really enjoy your blog!

Rena - My harp is my favorite treasure in my home. Although I don’t get to play it as often as I’d like, it still looks beautiful just sitting there. 🙂

Linda - OH such a hard question. there are several things I love, but among them is an old wire basket from my grandfather that we used when we gathered the walnut from his orchard. It brings back so many childhood memories of my family.

Kate - It’s tough to choose just one thing…I’m a bit of a collector of sentiment. 🙂 Right now, I’m loving a little Christmas trees with vintage glass ornaments from my mom. I love the aesthetic of it and the memory of collecting the ornaments with my mom. I love these canvases…what an awesome giveaway!

Jody H - We have my grandmother’s mirror hanging in our living room. It’s over a hundred years old and I love it!

Mary - My father’s firemen’s helmet (the metal is dented after 31 years of service) sits proudly on our bookcase.

Melissa - My favorite is an old picture of my grandma and grandpa when they were young and a picture my husband and I recreated of theirs. My very favorite pic of the two of us. I would have it printed on canvas.

Christy p - Hard drives with pics of my kiddos, wedding, childhood, etc!

Sara - first and foremost would be hubby and the littles…. but after that…i think my stash of old gold frames.

Jen - My favorite treasure is hard to pick–not because there are so many but because life of late has been hard and has shown me that stuff is just stuff. That may not be life-shattering to most but I am a person who loves her stuff. That being said, I love my mom’s green glass collection because it reminds me of her.

Trisha - My favorite treasures are probably my signed cookbooks – by Martha Stewart and Daniel Bouloud. I would LOVE to win a canvas – I just finished repainting and freshening up most of my house, and want to have a canvas made of a photo from our family photo shoot in the spring.

Lee Hatcher - I love the first quilt I ever made. It’s draped on my favorite chair
I love the look and sliding under it when it’s chilly

Melissa - My favorite treasure is the globe my parents bought me when I graduated from college. Still love it!!

Katy - A black and white photo of my Grandparents walking into a wedding all dressed up and smiling. It’s a timeless photo.

Megan - PICTURES! Hands down, my most treasured item.

Meaghan - Doll bunk beds my grandpa made me for Christmas when I was a little girl – now played with by my two daughters. Or maybe the old vinyl and felt jewelry box from my grandma that still smells like her. Couldn’t pick one over the other. 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!

amber - Awesome!! I do adore both of your canvases. I have been wanting to try out mpix. My favorite treasure in my house is probably the quilt that my great grandmother made.

Kayla - Hmmm….that is a tougher question than I would think. My people are my favorite treasure. Maybe the little blue vase that Rainman and I got in Venice?

Amanda Eudy - Favorite treasure in my house? Probably the ceramic cat I rescued from my grandmother’s house when she was moving. She painted it when she lived in Germany, and my mom has the matching kitten. It makes me feel like my family is close every time I look at it, even if they are far away!

Timalee - My current fave right now is all the ornaments hanging on our tree. Some of the ornaments my husband & I bought together as newlyweds. Some we have collected as vacation souvenirs over the years. Some have been received as gifts from dear friends and family. Some are special finds, or old toys I just couldn’t part with. Now we are adding new ones that the kids make and pick out each year. I love pulling them out every year and telling the kids stories about different ones!

Ann Marie - Besides all of my photos it has to be a box I’ve made for my daughter. It contains a book that was my dad’s when he was young (she’s too young to get it yet), the hospital bands from her birth, her first hair cut, etc. I relive all my favorite memories with her when I open it up.

Janelle - Way too tough to name a favorite treasure! Maybe a little statue that my dad gave me as a child.

stephanie - Besides my family…one of my greatest treasures would be the letters my dad wrote to me when I was in college.

Kimberlymccoy@mac.com - That’s a tough one. My most important item (besides my family and dog) is my computer because it basically contains every picture of my kids since the day they were born. My favorite treasure though is probably a handmade tree made of wire and beads that I picked up in Africa. It even has a tire swing made of duct tape. That trip changed my life and I think of it every time I see this amazing tree on my counter.

Meghan - My family photographs, my son’s room and my bed!

Michelle White - My favorite thing in my house is a picture frame my old neighbors made us out of old barn wood. It is so worn and textured. Love it.

Routhie - My Uncle’s chair. He was a tall man and made the chair to fit himself using floorboards from his father-in-law’s house. He had promised to make me my own, but died before he had the chance. My Aunt gave me his chair and said it was extra special because I would have a little of my family and a little of her family with me always. It is definitely the most used chair in our home and men are drawn to it whenever we entertain. The chair serves as a daily reminder of my Uncle and makes me feel closer to my family, all of whom I do not live near.

Misti - My favorite treasure is a big wall clock in our living room.

Nicole L. - My family photographs. They are the only things I hope to never live without.

Martha - My Dad left me his collection of books. I love them. And I have shelves and shelves of books, they make me happy.

Lauren - my childhood bible with all the pictures…

Jkdavis1993 - right now it’s my collection of afghans that I have recieved over the years from my Grandmother. I miss her. When it gets cold wrapping up in them is in some small way how I recieve hugs from her!

Kari - My antique bow-front china cabinet full of depression glass dishes – it was my grandmother’s and she passed it all along to me before she died.

Kori S. - My greatest treasure is my mom’s time worn and much-scribbled bible!

Jessica H. - I don’t think there is any one object…but I do have three boys (my husband, 3 yr old and 1 month old) that I consider my treasures!!

Jhoanna - The quilt I made for my girl!

Leah - I think my home is my treasure. I feel blessed every day that I have a home that’s mine and I love being in it.

Danielle - I want to be super sappy and say my hubby is my greatest treasure. 🙂 (I’m still a newlywed. haha)

Amy M. - I have some mason jars that I collected from my grandmother’s home after she died. i store pastas, nuts, dried fruit, candy etc., whatever I have on hand in them. the contents are always shifting! I love how they look on the counter– they are perfectly mismatched.

Erin - My favorite treasure is a black vintage candlestick phone that my grandmother gave me from her house. We used to play with it as kids, and now it has found the perfect spot on the built-in telephone table in my hallway. Love it!

Erica - I have been given a few pieces of jewelry at very special moments in my life. They are irreplaceable and are probably my most treasured items. On a side note, tomorrow I will be having my son. I have been looking into companies where I can get a large newborn picture printed on canvas. Great timing on this post, Meg!

Suzy - Hi Meg,
I love your gum ball machine print! My favorite treasures at our house are all of the ceramic pieces my son made at a pottery class when he was 4…a pig, airplane, snake, firetruck, pizza, heart and lizard. They are so whimsical and colorful.

Rachel - Oh my goodness – love how your canvases turned out – those are so vivid!
Favorite treasure? Mom’s chicken soup recipe that I just used this weekend. I cried because she wasn’t here to make it. Then I cried because I hate this stupid flu. Then I cried because I was mad she is gone. Then I cried because I was happy she was my Mom.
Yeah… flu makes Mommy’s emotional 🙂

Julie - Right now my favorite treasure is a picture of my Grandmother play the sax- she was a vaudeville performer. She was incredibly talented and lots of fun. Thanks for the chance.

Sheri Flatt - My favorite treasure in my house is a poem written by my grandma about me.

Melissa - The one thing that I would absolutely grab if the house was on fire is a oil painting Bud Snidow painted for me when I was 15. I’ll always treasure it!

Jen - One of my favourite treasures….my wedding album. It reminds me of the freshness and commitment and all that’s come into my life since that fateful day.

Barbara Youngren - We have a huge semi-abstract (if there is such a thing) buffalo in front of our front door and entry. He lays so still, and the snow settles on him. He looks like a bunch of rocks that look like a buffalo and I love him!

sara boller - cliche…but, my favorite thing at my house is my family. my two kidlets :), my man, my dogs and my chickens. they are what i cant wait to come home to every day.

Becky - My favorite treasure is my family. I can’t really identify a treasure other than my hard drive filled with photos of said family. 🙂

Kelly L - My favorite treasure is probably my kids’ first years photo albums.

MH Toth - my 3 girls… ages 10, 7, and 2… I can’t stop taking pictures of them!!!

Kristi Thomsen - My computer…it stores all of my photos that I love to take, but never print out. This would be a great solution for a picture of my 5 year old daughter! Thank you!

misty - My favorite treasure is my grandmothers vintage christmas ornaments. I remember helping decorate her tree with some of them when I was about 4 years old & 27 years ago they were already vintage… love everything about them

Jamie - One of my favorite treasures is an old, chippy, worn out little hutch that belonged to my Grandpa. Looooove it!

Bekah M. - My favorite treasure is my husband first 🙂 and my sewing table second! I love all the fun things I can create on its surface.

michelle - I would have to say my favorite treasure is my 20 x 30 canvas of my 6 children. It is the only professional image of them together, other than snapshots here and there. If my house caught fire tonight and I could only grab my family and one thing to take with me….that would be it. Thanks Meg for being awesome. 🙂

April ganser - Our dining room table that my grandmother raised her family around is definitely my most prized possession.

Kelly - wow, hmm, favorite treasure . . . maybe milk glass pieces from my mil because it shows she truly wants to know who I am. Kelly

Alexandra - Currently my favorite treasure in my home is the jewelry that has been passed down from my grandmother. I love that when I put together an outfit and add a necklace or some earrings, I look the way she did. I get to carry her with me.

Ellen J - My greatest treasure if the china cabinet my grandpa made me when I was little. He put a little note on the back saying he made it for me and signed his name. It fell off awhile back (just a label), so I framed it and it now sits on a shelf in the cabinet. Love!!!

Brooke in WI - It’s a tie between my Grandmother’s record player (which still plays) and my nativity set that has been added to by multiple family members.

jennifer - my favorite treasure is a quilt my late grandmother made for me…

Jennifer Henry - One of my favorite things in my house is my gallery wall that features every member of both my husbands family and my family both past and present. Having a canvas print would just add to the beauty of this wall. Everyone that comes to my house is just in awe of that wall because of all the pictures, especially the really old ones of our great great grandparents. Plus tree is a story with every picture

Tiffany - My favorite treasure is my bedroom dresser. It came from my Grandma, and it belonged to her mom. It’s in great condition with the original mirror. I just love the history of my ancestors using it. Hopefully I can pass it on to my daughter someday.

Amanda - I have the negative and original photo of my grandparents wedding day…one of my favorite treasures 🙂 They were married for 60 years!

Heather McDonald - My favorite thing in my house is my large photo collage I made of 4×4 pictures, glued them to a large canvas. They are photos of my 16 nieces and nephews and scenery shots of my favorite place to be-MT!! I love and treasure those photos.

niki - my favorite treasure is my family. we just had our first professional photos done as a family, and my boys are 10 and 7. i would love to have a canvas made of one of our photos.

Barbara - My parents grew up in Europe during WWII. When the war was over, they owned virtually nothing. Somehow, though, they managed to keep a cup and saucer of my great grandmother’s. THAT cup and saucer go with us in case of fire.
Thanks, Meg, for the contest. And I hope Annie is feeling better!!

Angie - Favorite treasure…a painted photograph of my 5 kids playing with & blowing bubbles…done by master photographer Pam at Hopkins Fine Portraits. It’s what we’ll grab if there’s ever a fire!

Lindsey - My favorite treasure is my mommy bracelet that has both of my son’s and my husband’s birthstones…I love it. When I wear it I always feel close to my boys!

Christine Couch - Oh goodness – – I’ve got so many things that are treasures to me. Photographs are at the top of the list, for sure. But, if I had to pick a single thing, I’d pick the Dresden Plate quilt that my grandmother made for me. She went to Heaven five years ago and as I get older I realize how much she has shaped the woman that I am. Having that precious gift from her is such a treasure and I will love it always.

Noel - I would LOVE to win a canvas! I think my favorite home treasure is… an embroidered canvas circa 1973 that i bought at a thrift store with the words to “America the Beautiful” under a mountain, flowers, and a smiling sunshine. 🙂

Sarah Burgis - I saved my Dad’s scotch bottle from his last visit to my house. He would visit us once a year and stay for a while (never long enough). I remember him healthy and strong, relaxing and having a wonderful visit with us while sipping his scotch in the evenings.

kim - So hard to choose just one favorite treasure so I will narrow it down to two. One is an old-fashioned milkshake mixer from my husband’s Gram’s old restaurant, and it is still in working order. (I don’t treasure the extra calories gained from drinking all of the yummy milkshakes it produces though.) 😉 The other is the nativity set that my grandma painted and that my family always put out on our mantle above the fireplace growing up. Just last Christmas, I finally got a mantle shelf and was able to display the nativity for the first time since being given it!
By the way, love the watercolor paints canvas…you are so creative…I would have never thought to do that! (I guess that’s why I read your blog and get inspired by your happiness and creativity.)

mandy - love these!
my treasure is my family first and then my rainbow bookshelf!!

Angie - love this giveaway! My favorite treasures are family pictures and the 100 year old fiddle that has been passed down in my family.

Melyssa - My favorite treasure at my house is probably the very awesome, very worn work bench I snagged from the garage of a home where things were being divided up after the owners passed. I removed the scary nails sticking every which way, the old vice, the 3(?!) layers of contact paper covering the sheet of paneling covering the slats that make the top, and cut the legs down to make it normal counter heingt. I hope to one day get a nice slab of marble for the top to make it a nice pastry bench but for now it works!

Sarah Thompson - I would LOVE one of these. What a great idea to print a favorite object instead of just people. It’s gorgeous seriously. My fav is probably my Nanny’s old sewing box. Thanks for the chance to win something soo fancy. : )

Whitney - I have a gumball machine too (well it’s in my parents house since my young married self has no place for it yet!) Love all your colors!

julia - My favorite treasure is my pictures. I scare myself and ask myself what I’d take with me in a hurry. It’s pictures. My memory is bad so I don’t remember so much so pictures help.

Ann - My girl’s baby quilts and my wedding quilt my grandmother made….priceless

katherine - love the gumball machine my grandpa gave us too! so fun!

Courtney - My favorite treasure is a penny gumball machine I got from my grandpa when when he died. In fact, I bet it was the picture of the your gumball machine that made my friend tell me about your site and how I should enter this drawing.

Amanda Fuentes - My home is filled to the brim with treasures, I couldn’t pick a favorite. I do love my Bible full of notes and cards from my kids and my camera of course for capturing all life’s little moments.

Janna - I love the pic I took of my in laws (77 and 83 yrs old) walking out to the outdoor sauna for the last time before my mil’s ALS got so bad she couldn’t walk anymore. She passed away a few short weeks later. That was last Aug. She was my favorite person in the whole world – besides my husb and children of course. Most lovely person ever! I’ve been dreaming of getting a canvas of the fam pic of my husb and kids and I the week after her funeral. It’s the only fam pic I have of all of us. It’s in bright colors outside in a park. Thanks so much for the chance to win. I LOVE love love your colorful blog and DREAM of coming to craft weekend some day;)

Hugs,
Shann

Angela - The treasures in my house are the pictures of my four kids (ages 11,8,6 & 3)–they are growing up so fast. I love going back and looking at my babies when they were really babies. I don’t do it very often, but when I do, it’s amazing to see how much they’ve grown.

tanktop - A necklace that was my paternal grandmother’s.

Liesl - That is a really hard question! I don’t of things in my house that way, but I guess I would go with the crocheted blankets my daughters were given when they were born and the one my husband and I were given for our wedding–all from great aunts on my side of the family.

Regina - The quilt that my granma made in 1930. 🙂

Robyn - Favorite treasure at my house….I’ve never really thought of it! Right now I’d have to say my matching blue gumball machine I bought when at craft weekend and flew all the way back to Canada in my suitcase!

Cindy Douglass - I treasure our family scrapbooks but really love my childhood books like The Secret Garden and Little House on the Prairie books.

Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!

Julie - Love your print! It turned out great. I am especially loving a huge world map that I got at IKEA that looks gallery wrapped, but really Hubby and I wrestled that thing into a frame on the living room floor after “reading” IKEA’s lovely descriptive directions. It is huge and hangs beautifully over my living room couch. It is a big conversation piece and everyone is drawn to it. I love it!

I found it last month at a consignment sale and even though it was a little more than I would typically pay I just fell in love with it and HAD to have it. Right now I have each little opening filled with a mason jar that I use as little vases. I just love it!

Michele - My old black typewriter that is from the 1930’s! It still works, too!!

Tracy King - My treasure is definately the pearl ring my father gave to my mother when they were 17. My father was kiiled in an accident when my mom was 25 and my sisters and I were all under the age of 6. The ring means the world to me and I wore it on my wedding day.

Bethany - favorite treasure – lots of special Christmas ornaments!

robin allen - My FAVORITE is the little PINK Dress, ruffled panites, shoes, and blankie that my Mom ( deceased ) brought me home from the hospital in, then I brought my daughter home from the hospital, then she brought my Grand-daughter home from the hospital…I have a photo of my mom at the very tender age of 17 holding me in this little outfit at ‘my’ baby shower…She is so beautiful and is holding me with such love and obvious affection that does not even begin to hint of the absolute fear of the daunting task of having a baby when she is still a child in so many ways herself…I have a photo of each of ‘us’ in the dress….

colleen - my quilt that hangs above the couch in the den…aunt patsy made it!

jodi - My favorite is the people who live inside!

nancie - My great aunt’s organ…LOVE!

Amanda - I have my grandmother’s 1930 Singer sewing machine with a knee lever. It’s the machine I learned to sew on. I miss using it now that I have a much higher-tech Janome. I need to pull it out and give it some luv…

Sandy - My special treasure is a salt and pepper shaker collection that belonged to my “Granny”!! She wasn’t my blood related granny but a special neighbor that was my granny since I moved next door to her when I was two years old.

Jen - I have a single green vase – very simply, I’m sure very cheap when it was purchased. But it was purchased by my great Grandmother Stordeboom – a woman I never met but imagine as a spunky surly woman from the stories I hear. I’ve never actually used it, now that I think about it – I’m going to have to remedy that!

Barb - I love kitchen stuff and have alot of things passed down from my mom and grandmas. I think my most favorite thing is their recipe boxes with the handwritten recipes. 🙂

Lindsay - Hmmmm…I would say it’s a tie between my photo albums and my oldest’s (5) Beads of Courage. He earned over 200 Beads during his cancer treatment and we treasure them. Each one tells a story.

Kirsten - I was just telling my mom the other day that, after people and pictures, the first things I would grab if my house were on fire would be our quilts. We have quilts from both sides of the family, old and new, and they make me smile. 🙂

Lisa - My grandpa’s marble jar full of his marbles from when he was a kid and a little white rocking chair that I sat in as a child. Love your gumball picture!

Estremjen@att.net - My treasure is an old piano that my mother restored. I learned to play on that piano. So many great memories. I am blessed to have it sitting in my house where hopefully my children will learn to play as well. By the way…I absolutely adore that gumball machine canvas. It makes me so happy!

Val - my favorite treasure are the vintage ornaments hanging on my tree. My mom just gave me these. She has saved them for many years. THis year she felt they needed to be enjoyed and not wrapped in a box for “someday.” I’m glad I was her “someday!”

Gina DeHoogh - One of my favorite treasures is a long canvas photo of the sweet feet of my four little blessings. It makes me smile every day! Definitely one to leave up forever!

Katie - My favorite treasure at my house is my worn copy of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I love the story within the pages of the book… so real. There are so many life lessons that can be taught/learned from reading TKaM. 🙂

Jenn - …my favorite treasure at my house is….besides the babies, definitely a pic of the three of them together- when our family was complete.

Stephanie Z - my favorite treasure? my kids…

Tricia - When I was a young teen, my pastor’s wife gave me a praying/kneeling ceramic angel she had made. I think of her as my angel every time I pass it in the cabinet. (It always seems to turn though. It’s facing me every time I look at it no matter where I’m standing in the room.)

sam - I have a rocking chair that my grandfather had made for my mother. It was used by her, me and my two brothers, and my four kids. I hope to have it recovered soon so it is ready for any future grand babies.

Dellie - Right now I’d say my favourite treasure is a coffee table my partner built out of an old work bench we found in my mother in laws shed. We sit around it as a family every single day. Homework, afternoon tea, sometimes dinners. We love it.

Tracie Mayers - Besides my family, it’s a scuplpture called ,”blessings way.” It was my Grandma’s she bought it with money she found stashed all over the house when my Grandpa passed. It is of a mother and 2 children. My Grandpa was super tight with his money so I always think about how excited she was to get something for herself. She deserved it.

Teri B - My favorite treasure is my daughter’s Golden Books collection. I can’t wait to share them with my future grandchildren!

katherine brewer - My favorite treasure in our home is my Grandmother’s old pantry(similiar to a pie safe)…it was on it’s way to the dump when I rescued it.
Love your canvas print, very pretty!

lindsay - my favorite treasure is my engagement/wedding ring that i wear everyday. my husband had it made for me while he was on deployment to dubai. it is so antique and vintage looking, i love it! but if that’s not a home enough treasure then it would have to be the wooden rocking chair my grandfather made for me when i was little that our daughter now uses!

Holly Bodner - my most favorite treasure at my house is my daughter! last year my 16 year old was on a bike ride with 100 others when a drunk driver plowed thru the group, hitting my child before hitting 10 others, almost taking her life. after 35 days at UCLA picu, she is looked upon as a miracle by her doctors, detectives & medical staff alike. her body was completely broken, she sustained brain damage on top of many broken bones, internal injuries…she was in the FIGHT FOR HER LIFE!!! because of legal issues, it’s been almost a year and a half since i’ve gotten to post pics of her publically…she was a working actress, now she is still rehabilitating from the accident. 7 surgeries later, she is exceeding her doctors expectations! Her inner beauty, as well as her outer beauty is amazing! I would LOVE a HUGE CANVASS WRAPPED photo of her!!! She is MY MIRACLE!!!

Cassie - My treasured item would be my Chick Cookie Jar I got while in KS for Craft Weekend- I love it so much and I am happy i decided to get it!!

mpoggie - Along the theme of heirloomy, material items: When my stepdad was little and learning to write, he got a good grade on a practice sheet of m’s. He was so proud that his mom framed it. My name starts with M and he gave it to me when he married my mom and it made me feel so accepted and special. Now it hangs in my baby girl’s room and it has become a sort of symbol for family. It’s just a faded piece of paper in an old wood frame, but it’s priceless!

Rachel B. - My husband, two kids and our dog…without them, it wouldn’t be a home!

Katie - I have an old church bench in my foyer that I love! My mother-in-law gave it to me for Christmas last year. It used to be hers and I sat on it the first time I ever came to my husband’s parents house before we were even officially dating. It was so sweet and generous of her!

Shelby P - My favorite treasure is one particular picture from my wedding day. It’s pretty much the only picture we were relaxed in and I just love it. If I won, I’d probably get a huge canvas of that picture!

Jolene (Homespun Heritage) - Favorite treasure at my house? It isn’t a thing….its my 7 little treasures from 2 months to 10 yrs! Its rough sometimes and there are many tears but they are certainly jewels to be treasured!

Shelly - Besides family, I love my crocheted afghan collection…thinking about someone putting such time and effort into it… I love them all!

Brooke - My vintage cameras 🙂

Jacci in Ohio - 493? Hmm… well, I’ll put my comment into the mix!
My favorite treasure? That’s really hard. I even asked my children to help me brainstorm. I asked, “What’s my biggest treasure in this house? What would I be really, really sad to lose?” And each one of them said the same thing. They said “ME!” – and that just about made me cry.
So, my kids… and my husband… and maybe photos (especially babe photos) and journals. And the kids’ cards & artwork.
Irreplaceable.

Christy - ooh love the bright colors. I have a ton of treasures but my favorite is an old mantel that was in my fathers house when he grew up and in his grandparents house before that. It has seen better days but I love the chippy paint and ten thousand thumb tack holes from years and years of stocking hangings. We just moved and I am trying to incorporate it into our new house.

She made a footprint of my baby’s foot and a handprint of my daughter! Then my daughter cut out a paper plate and made a wreath who the prints hanging from the center.

Lisa M. - Oh, and my most favorite treasure…my mom and dad’s first Christmas Tree ornament from when they were first married. She gave them to me years ago and it has a reserved spot on the top center of my treet every year. The same place she hung it on her tree for so many years.

Lisa M. - Haha! Oh my goodness! I kept looking for your “canvas” print!! I was saying to myself, “why is she talking about how much she loves her print and she isn’t showing a picture of it?”!! So funny. Clearly, I wasn’t looking close enough, because the gumball machine isn’t even whole on the canvas, but it was a quick look 😉
I know Ashley has mentioned mpix several times and says how much she loves them, I’ve just never gotten around to using them. I will now!
Thanks for the giveaway!

nancy cresser - My favorite treasure is my little reindeer family that sits on my fireplace mantel for the holidays…Mom, Dad, 4 little reindeer – just like our family.

Heather - I have a tiny rocking chair that my mother used as a child, then my brother and I used it, and my two kids used it and it is now awaiting another small youngin’ to come into the family to use it.

GB Jost - My favorite tresure in my house would have to be a little red stool in my closet. It was a “cast away” from my inlaws when the moved from the “big house”. I sit on it when I change clothes, and stand on it when I am digging for a sweater! So silly and simple…gb

Maria - My favorite treasure…a set of pictures I had made into a booklet…of all our yearly Santa visits…we crack up over who is crying and who isn’t…and laugh at how the number of boys increases every other year.

Holly Spangler - My Grandma’s ironstone. It’s grouped together now, but I’m forever pulling out a piece to decorate somewhere else with.

Melissa - The comments are so fun to read today! I would have to say that what I treasure most is the family piano my parents passed on to me. Not only do I have sweet memories of listening to my mother play it, it has sweet memories of my own kids playing…and sometimes pounding on it. I think my siblings are still mad that my parents gave it to me. Hee hee!

kimmie - my favorite treasure(s) are paintings done by my husbands father. they are just a tangible link to him.

Erica - My favorite treasure is the miniature tea set that my grandma gave to me. When I was little, it was my favorite thing to play with at her house. I couldn’t believe she’d let me play with the “priceless” treasure. Now that I’m older, I realize that it wasn’t that big of a deal, but it’s a big deal to me because it reminds me of her.

Jen - I love my Grandpa’s childhood chair. It would make a great neutral canvas with brown , rustic seat. I can already picture it!

tinaehb3 - mine is a tiny little santa my mom used to put out at Christmas every year. she gave it to me years ago. i love it so much it stays out year round on my nightstand to remind me of seeing that little santa when i was a little kid 🙂

Jennifer Ensor - My favorite treasure at my house is a shelf that my husband built for me. He is amazing!

karen - The paintings my children and my father have painted for me.

AmandaK - I think my biggest treasure is my mom’s wooden ice box. I don’t have her with me anymore, and it helps looking at things that were precious to her.
Love the way you have decorated with photos of random things, great idea!

Christy - My favorite thing is my farm table. I love the character it has! It is an antique and has been in other families homes. I love that others have gathered at the same table as ours!

Deborah - My favorite treasure at the moment—(because of the holidays) is my Nativity Set from my grandma. I LOVE it and I LOVE putting it out every year. It was hers and in her house as long as I could remember. I always admired it at her house too :). I also love Mpix but have never had a canvas done by them, only some photos printed :).

Andrea - My greatest treasure in my home besides the people and pets are my children’s hand made Christams ornaments….I have them all…they are all on the tree, but I keep them all in fabric covered boxes near to our front door (in case there is a fire….I beleive that I can grab them on the way out!!! I know…I am a dor)……they are my favorite possessions……

Suzanne - Aside from my family, I would say my grandparents china. My grandma died when I was young, so I don’t have too many memories of her. Using her china makes me feel close to her 🙂

rachel beverlin - my favorite treasure is an old quilt my great grandma made. It’s perfect!

Kim - I treasure the quilts that my grandmothers have hand-quilted.

Dena - I would have to say the treasure I was most recently in awe of is a christmas cactus plant that was my husband’s grandmother’s. She passed 6 years ago and the other day I was looking for something and while searching for it I noticed that lo and behold the christmas cactus has buds on it. It’s very random and infrequent when it blooms so it’s always a miracle when it does. I called my kids over to look and my daughter found what we were looking for under the table the plant is on. Grandma gave a us a clue to find it, I think 🙂

Michelle - My mom gave me a porcelain rabbit that is laughing. When ever I look at it it make me happy.

Julie A - I love the pics we have of our two boys with Big Jay when we go to KU games. I would love to make that into a fun canvas!

Corey Bugni - I think I have to go with my boys little rocking chair. They are just about to big for it, but it is so sweet and will definitely be hanging around in case there are some grandkids someday.

Rachel - My favorite treasure is a book of stories that my dad used to read to me when I was little!

Ashley K - I just bought a blue dresser from a little boutique in our town. I love it, my husband still doesn’t understand it. It’s blue! But I love it!

Jill - H hands down my Grandfather clock. IT. IS. AMAZING! A family heirloom with DEEP history and it looks GOOD TOO! Sounds like a trolley car.
The gumball machine is so much fun!

Dlglo - My pictures of my soon to be 30 year old baby!

Aimee - My favorite treasure at my house is my old camera collection. Some of them were cameras my relatives used back in the day, some came from antique stores, some were gifts and each one is special to me.

Virginia - I would say mine are a set of 12 Venice Glass champagne glasses I bought in Venice on my trip around Europe in my early 20’s. I don’t let anyone use them b/c I am afraid they will break. ALthough they are probably stronger than I think since I carried them around in a box the whole second half of the trip.

jen s. - most treasured item in my house are our photobooks and the afghans my great aunts made. the photobooks capture my family – past & present while the afghans just remind me of home & my childhood.

Michelle Whitlow - What a fun photo to blow up into a canvas!!! Love that! My favorite treasure (or one of my faves) is my old phonograph that was my great grandfather’s. Apparently he was a brick layer & worked lots of hours so he bought it for my great grandmother. I have a bunch of cylinder records that play on it, too 🙂 I just had family pics taken over the summer & would looove to have a canvas of one!

Heather Langley - My most treasured item is my father’s childhood rocking chair. This little wooden chair, which at one point had a music box on the rocker, has a sweet little flocked lamb you can barely see anymore. The chair has been a special little place to sit and read for my dad, my sister and I, and all four of my children. So many memories in one little seat.

Erin - We were married 10 years ago, when big formal wedding albums were still “normal.” Our wedding album is huge and the single most expensive item in our home, literally. We joke that if there is some natural disaster, one of us saves the kids and the other saves the album. Its fun to look through it with the kids. Definitely a treasure!

Whitney C - Pictures of my little boys are some of my favorite treasures, and I would LOVE to have a new canvas! 🙂

megan k - Lots of “treasures” at my house….my favorite material treasure is my engagement ring. It was the official start to where I am today. 🙂

Marni R - Other than my amazing daughter, my favorite treasure in my house is an antique Roseville vase that my Uncle Bill left to me. The colors are amazing and I love it because it reminds me of him.

Blessings to you and your family.

Naomi Williams - I have too many precious things, but in particular there is this glass bread pan that I have never baked in, and can’t seem to find anywhere to display, but it is gorgeous…old and swirly…but clear…with little designs swirled all over.
Even baking pans used to be quite pretty!

Mary-Beth - I had to stare at your photo a minute looking for the canvas because the gumball machine looks so real! My favorite family treasure is the ivory Jenny Lind crib my sisters and I used as babies. It is now my newborn son’s crib and I love the look of the vintage crib that held so many sleeping babies in our family.

Alicia - One of my favorite things is my toy box that my grandfather made for me when I was little. He passed away when I was 4, so it means even more. It’s graduated from toy box to bedding storage for out guest room, and it makes me so happy to have it in our home.

Amy K. - hmmm…. I have a quilt that my grandma’s mom made for her as a wedding gift. My grandma had shown me where it was (deep in the back of a closet) & told me she wanted me to have it before she died, and then it turned out that no one else even knew she had it!

Iris Espinoza - An old carved wooden box that sits on my coffee table. I love, love, love it!

Nikki - It’s a tie between my favorite material treasures…the wedding ring quilt my great-grandmother quilted for me as a child that I wasn’t to receive until I married. She died 1 week after I got engaged. And a telephone table my grandfather made in high school shop class.

ali moll - I love that I can picture exactly where that canvas is, now that I have visited the craft house is person! 🙂 Coincidentally, my favorite new treasure at home is the butter yellow and white, hand stitched quilt I picked up during our antiquing day at Craft Weekend. I absolutely adore it! I even purchased new white bedding, and pillows, so my new to me quilt can take center stage at the foot of my bed! Love it!

Joanie - My children are my number one treasure, but next to them is the dresser they use to put their clothes in. My dad used it as a child, I used it now my girls use it. It has been repainted a few times, but still works great!

Kahs - My dogs in a heartbeat!!

Jennifer - That print is gorgeous.
My personal treasure is my handpainted santa collection , painted by my mother.

Nicole B. - Beautiful prints – you take such great photos! So, other than my hubs and kiddos, my favorite treasures are the portraits I drew of my kiddos, and the quilts that my Grandmother made for each of us. Those are what I would grab first (after kids!) in an emergency!

Collette Ezzell - Besides my child,(whom I really can’t call a possession, but you know what I mean) the most prized possession in my house is a three tiered glass candy dish etched with fleur des lis and scrollwork. I lost both my maternal grandparents at a young age, they were both 55, I was 11. My grandmommy had the dish always filled with three things – caramel cremes, candy corn (no matter the time of year) and butterscotch hard candies, I was given it when we cleaned their house out and it means the world to me, I have it filled with caramel cremes, banana Runts and candy corn. I would save it in a fire. Thanks for the opporunity to share and the contest!

Jessica R. - My favorite treasure is a 97 year old steamer truck that my granddad used when he was an Army brat, moving all over with his parents (Alaska and the Philippines were the two coolest places). I have wonderful memories of listening to all his stories and I named my second son after my granddad so seeing his trunk with their shared name stamped on it is a treat every day 🙂
On a side note, I’ve loved your watercolor canvas for a while now and now am loving your gumball canvas–so rad!! Have you ever thought about selling canvas prints of them? I, for one, would make a purchase!

kelli - have been wanting a canvas of my favorite treasure for a while now… my sweet little fam! cheesy, but true! 😉

A little corny, but I am really excited to get them on some Canvas!!!!!

Lisa Lichterman - my favorite treasure at my house currently is . . . . . my moms wedding band. It is tarnished-gold and very organic looking (like tree branches wrapped around your finger).

KitS - One of my favorites is a MASSIVE, vintage relief map of Africa my father-in-law salvaged from a high school dumpster. My husband and I spent our first two years of marriage in East Africa so the map has sentimental meaning to me on top of the fact that it just looks cool.

Mollie - All of the antique Christmas decorations that were passed down when my mother passed away.

Gerri - I have a childs rocking chair that belonged to my father…it’s probably 70 years old. All the grandkids have rocked in that rocking chair…including me. When my grandmother moved into assisted living she passed it on to me. I treasure it…it is by far my favorite.

Michele - My favorite treasure? A small copper pot (hanging in my kitchen) that we found in a little flea market in Italy. It’s not valuable, but the day that it was bought was one of those magical days that I always remember and smile about. Pretty sure those are the best kind of treasures… =0)

Meredith - I just ordered a gallery wrapped canvas from Mpix, but I would love another one! My favorite treasure in my house would have to be my 2 girls. Thanks!

Kate - My family and the milkglass 🙂

Christina - It’s hard to narrow it down to ONE treasure, so can I pick one of many favorites!? 😉 …I would say a tiny little tea pot, given to me by my paternal Grandmother. I’ve only met them a couple of times in my life–the last time being while we were in London on our honeymoon. She gave me a tiny little tea pot from her collection, and I was terrified of travelling home with it. But we made it! It sits on a little shelf now 🙂

Su@TheIntentionalHome - I had to do a double take. . i thought that was the bubble gum machine. . not a canvas of it. I want that canvas in my home 🙂 Most treasured thing in my home. . .mmm. . .nothing comes to mind. . .isn’t that weird?? I would not be that sad to lose anything in my home. . .weird? I do enjoy my colorful art on my walls. . .

whitneybens@yahoo.com - My Grandpa passed away 6 years ago and I miss him so much. He was a milkman and after he died, my Grandma gave me a cute little glass milk bottle that was used on their dairy farm many years ago. I keep pens in it that say “Thompson Dairy” on them. Every time I see it I smile.

chrissi - My dad’s bible, complete with all of his notes and writings. So sweet. Melts my heart. Whenever I feel the need to be with him, I read his notes. He wrote lovely thoughts about my mom and each of us next to verses he was studying. Even though he is gone, he continues to teach me his faith.

Michele H - A picture of my hubby when he was 4 years old. Our daughter looks just like him. It’s crazy and adorable and I just can’t stand it. I want to squeeze his 4 year old self.

Christi P. - My grandparents gave my baby girl an antique school desk to use as a craft table. It’s still got the school district’s property number on it! Love it because I was a teacher before I turned mommy. They bought it secretly for our babies the year we got married — she wasn’t born until 5 years later!

Jayne Barbour - My favorite treasure is an old doorstop that was my grandmother’s and I always admired it in their home while growing up. It is a brick covered in a crewel fabric(greens, coral and orange!) and is so happy. I keep it on a shelf as a reminder that we will oneday have our own home again!

Janelle Shultz - My most favorite treasure would definitely be all of my scrapbooks I have created for my 3 daughters…i have over 100 completed albums. We love sitting down & looking at them from time to time…reliving the days of their days past.

Lauren - Can I say my kids? If not . . than . . probably my stuffed teddy bear I’ve had forever and still, to this day, sleep with at night. My hubby just realized that he’d have to make room for him in our bed too when he married me. 🙂 I have a beautiful lamp that belonged to my great-grandmother. I’ve had to get a new lampshade, but the lamp its self is still amazingly beautiful. 🙂

amanda - Anything with a history I especially treasure…but I’d probably have to say my great-grandmother’s lawyer cabinet with the glass doors that flip up and slide back. It holds many of my family’s treasured little trinkets now. 🙂

sophie - my favorite treasure is the fishing permit from my grandpa. In france you need a fishing permit and that’s something I used to do with him. He passed away 6 years ago and since then I never went back fishing. The card hang in my bedroom and it makes me happy.

Angela B. - Great giveaway! My favorite treasures are handmade gifts from friends.

Deb L - Hard to pick just one…… Besides the most obvious treasures being my family….. My favorite treasure is my Great Grandmother’s push pedal Singer sewing machine from 1914. When I was lucky enough to bring it into my home, I discovered drawers full of beautiful vintage buttons, thread spools in beautiful hues and most importantly, handwritten notes and sewing tips my Great Grammy, who never learned to “read and write” and so they are very valuable to me!

Ashley - Currently I would say all my Christmas decorations. It is so fun to unpack them each year and remember what I have, where I bought it, and the memories associated with my favorite time of the year!

Kirsten - I have my Grandma’s rainbow Pyrex mixing bowls. I LOVE them….they make me smile when I use them!

They are full of memories!

Beth Ann - My Family is my most treasured in my home. As far as items I have very little, if anything at all from my young childhood. I do have some t-shirts from high school 20 years ago that I still wear (to bed). I smile when I read the dates or names on the shirts and think back to the fun memories!

kathleen - I love my family pictures! I love to see how the kids are growing:)

Ronda - My antique sewing machine….it just makes me smile! Works great too. 😉

Tiffany B - My favorite treasure at my house is a photobook I created last year from my family’s trip out west. What an adventure and it’s all there at our fingertips to review at any time. LOVE IT!

beth - my favorite treasure at my house is my nana’s vintage “lance” brand glass canister. much like your gumball machine it is something that my mom had to store for me for a while as it didn’t really make sense with the rest of my house until recently. it is the perfect centerpiece for my kitchen now. it holds snacks or cookies or whatever. and it to has the perfect chippy red metal lid.

Sheila P. - My KitchenAid Professional mixer. I felt like a grown up when I got it. No one else uses it. It’s just mine.

Ali - My most treasured item is my grandmother’s writing desk. It sits in our entryway, and it makes me smile and think of my grandmother, who died of cancer a few years ago, every time I walk by it.

Jody - my photos!! (of course!!) of my family :))

Tasha - Love this! And love mpix. After ordering from one of those deal of the day canvas sales and receiving subpar product 🙁 I only order from mpix now. My favorite thing is my canvases and prints of my 3 year old. They always make me smile.

becca r. - my treasure is the few photos i do have of my baby boy who passed away at just under 3 days old. they are so precious to me. i also love using mpix for photo prints!

Amy Farrell - My dining room table…it was in the movie Dying Young with Julia Roberts. It’s old, chippy and marvelous!

alicia @ la famille - eeeek!!! awesome giveaway!!

Amy g - My family treasures are my family pictures.

Lane - My favorite treasure is my four year old’s ceramic handprint. I love it. Can’t wait for my 7 month old to have the same preschool teachers as my oldest so I can get his ceramic handprint as well! 🙂

Debby - I can’t pick just one…my favs are the coffee grinder lamp on my bedside table. It was my great-grandparents on my mother’s side and sometime in the 70’s my great-aunt made it into a lamp. It’s still got the funky 70’s lamp shade. I often think of replacing it with a white one (this one is a red burlap of all things), but just can’t bring myself to do it. My other fav are the few ceramic holiday pieces I have that my mom painted – Christmas tree, jack-o-lantern, Easter egg, pilgrims. She painted them back when I was a little girl and when she passed in ’08 they came to me. They bring me so much joy during the holidays when I really miss her.

kristi - Aside from my family…probably my deceased grandmother’s old time video camera….she was obsessed with taking pictures still and motion…i think that is where i got my passion for photography:)

michelle - love your new canvas! My favorite treasures are all my scrapbooks and photo books.

Holly - Your canvases are beautiful! My favorite treasure in my house is currently cozy, soft white blanket that just feels like love everytime I wrap up in it! But if I won, I think I’d print a picture of some baby robins in a nest from last spring. I printed the photo of the beautiful blue eggs…now I need to print the photo of the birds that hatched from the eggs : )

sara's art house - Oh my goodness! What a great giveaway! I love your gumball picture.
My favorite treasure????? Hmmm, my family and dog, of course, but then, maybe my vintage green globe that lights up.

staceyb - I have this old twin brass bed that I slept in as a little girl and am still using!

Lisa - Aside from my children and husband, my favorite treasure is my dads camera. He has severe Alzheimer’s Disease, and can no longer remember how to take photos…he loved taking photos.

Favorite recent find is garland of bright green, white and red felt Christmas balls….they are hanging in my living room among some frames of family…..love them!! I only wish there were more than two because I would have loved to buy more for Christmas gift stocking stuffers….
The paint canvas is unreal that you posted!! so awesome!!

My favorite THING is a big HUGE old rectangle ceiling tin that is creamy white and chippy and framed in the most amazing ornate old frame that I found at a garage sale for $5 that was the EXACT right size. It was absolutley meant to be!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! AND… the last quilt my grandmother ever made (a postage stamp quilt made by hand). My mom gave it to me on my 25th birthday (I’m 48 now) with a card in which she’d written about how her mother stitched with PRIDE every little square of the quilt and it reminded her of the PRIDE she had in me as a young woman. Doesn’t get much better than that!!! Sorry… I have two faves!!! 🙂

Debi - I have so many pictures all over the house of our family which I love!
The one thing I have from my mom who passed this year at 90 years is her mortar and pestle. She was from Puerto Rico and it is made of wood and is worn down a bit from use.
thank you for this giveaway!

Jeannine - My 3 and a half month old daughter is my favourite treasure currently in our apartment. Possession-wise? I’d have to go with any of the furniture or goodies that my Papa has made for me. He’s currently in the hospital after having a massive stroke, so anything he has made over the years holds even more meaning now. I’d love to get a print of my Nana and Papa’s wedding picture made to give to my Nana. I love them so, so much.

elma - I have a old owl cookie jar and a bubble gum machine love them both!!!

Amanda - Our family photos. My favorite is our latest that is a canvas with a old frame on our fireplace. Everytime I walk in the room I smile

cynthia - Hands down, my favorite treasure is my grandmother’s set of measuring spoons. They instantly bring back sweet memories of baking right by her side in her kitchen. And the spoons take up such little space, but are so useful and filled with great memories. I can smell the Red Velvet Cakes now.

Victoria - Besides my family..it will have to be my pictures of them!! Plus my awesome Indonesian Armoire. It was the 1st thing I bought for my apartment over 20 years ago. It’s so rustic and HUGE that I almost had to leave it in my apt. When my husband & I bought our house. Thank goodness for the movers who noticed the top part came off. It now holds all of my CRAFTY stuff!! LOVE our blog!!

Jennifer - I’d have to say my photos.

amber - This is a hard question! (I’m no good at picking one favorite:/) My newest favorite would have to be my baby’s scrap bunting & my new vintage folger’s tin. And…I also love mpix:)!! Thanks for the chance!

My aunt has since passed away and I couldn’t be more thankful that I have one of her antiques 🙂

Becky - YAY What a giveaway! My favorite treasure currently, of course, is my christmas tree! Yay! Thanks, Meg!

Maggie G - LOVE mpix!! My favorite treasure is a dried flower from my grandpa’s funeral 🙁

Alyssa - Pick me, pick me! A favorite treasure of mine would have to be my bed that my husband made for me.

kris saia - Everytime the tornado sirens blow, the first thing I grab for the run to the basement is my Grandma Grace’s bible. The binding is ragged and falling off and some of the pages flutter out everytime I pick it up, but it’s my favorite thing. Grandma scribbled short notes in the margins –like “Show to J.” or “Praise Jesus”– and I love to thumb through and try to figure out what some of her cryptic messages might mean. SHe had a pretty hard, poor life and I know she took comfort in the Word… so her Bible is a family treasure. I have it sitting in a stack of other old Bibles with her crocheted cross bookmark and if I win the canvas I’ll send off a photo of that to be enlarged. (Fingers CROSSED!)

ikarentee - My favorite treasure is the quilt my mother in law made for my bed. LOVE!

Tina Jacobsen - My grandma’s recipe box 🙂

Jen - It’s too hard to narrow it down to just one, but one of my favorite treasures is a photo of my dad when he was in high school, proudly holding a football trophy with his teammates. He passed away over twenty years ago, and it’s so special to be able to look at this snippet from his life where he looks so young and triumphant.

Wendy - My favorite treasure is my jelly jar cabinet. it was in my grandma’s basement. I used it as a changing table for 2 kids. now it is our tv stand. I love the latch and the hinges. I would love a canvas!!

Anna - Pictures of my family, my orange mixer, and my grandma’s old recipes written in her handwriting. Precious.

Amy Swanson - My family aside (they are my favorite treasures) I love my wedding album. I was marries pre-digital photo era and all my proofs are in that one book!

Mary Jo - My favorite thing in my home is my wall of family photos. Priceless!

nicoleigh - My little windmill blades that I have on my living room wall. 🙂

Cory Margrave - This is an AWESOME giveaway!
My favorite treasure…I have a Joy of Cooking cookbook that was my grandmothers. It is torn up & filled with her notes & recipes. I couldn’t love it any more.

Anne - A painting of a banana split that hangs in my kitchen.

Juanita - My favorite treasure is my 6 month old daughter. She brightens everyday and I don’t know what I would do without her!

Amy - My cookie carousel cookie jar. I have had since I was two and that was a long time ago!

rachel - My favorite treasure is my vintage buffet that lives between my dining and living rooms. I intend to paint it some happy color some day 🙂 And one of these canvases would look sooo great above it!

Talia - What a great question! I treasure my quilts. They are so pretty and warm. I am a long time lover of quilts and have them on every bed in my house. Lovely!

Maureen - Besides my family, it would be my dining room table. It is an old farm table and my youngest carved “I love you” into the side of it when he was doing his homework one day. I will take that kind of procrastination any day!

Lisa B - Right now my favorite treasure is my teal dresser. It’s curvy and I put “crystal” knobs on it. Thanks for the chance at this great give-a-way!!

My mom was recently over and told me those angel candles are 68 years old!! I have a special place in my house every Christmas for this most Holy Family.

Juli - My favorite treasure…. hmmm… i have so many… but i think that currently my favorite treasure is the vintage wooden ironing board that i use as a bar in our vintage kitchen…. i just love looking at that old thing.

Heather - My hubby and 4 boys are my treasures! But for a non-living item it would have to be my red rusty kitchen scale that I have sitting on the island in my kitchen. It has a big scoop on it that I decorate different with the changing seasons.

Adrienne s - I know this may sound weird but my favorite treasures in my house are my kids! We have recently moved and I dislike my house very much. It is not a home. So right now I focus on those three treasures instead of the negative energy from this house.

Becky Mueller - Oooooh. Good giveaway. I may want a canvas of your gumball machine!
My favorite treasure is a new one. I made a quilt while my husband was fighting cancer. The goal was for it to be our “Brad-Beat-Cancer-Quilt.” He did, and I know I’ll always love it.

Michelle Molander - My grandma’s mixing bowls. Love ’em. 🙂

April - My wedding scrapbook. Made by a friend of my mom’s – it captured our day perfectly and it’s something I would have never gotten around to making!

Amy Woods - My absolute treasure is my bright yellow, eames-ish era, vinyl bucketlike chair in my craft room. I bought it in Florida on vacation this summer and my super sweet hubs wrapped it in plastic and we hauled it home to Texas in the back of the truck. It is GORGEOUS! I don’t know if it is any kind of authentic anything, but who cares!? It is lovelyliscious! 🙂

jaimie Cahill - my 4 girls are my favorite treasure 🙂
thanks for the chance!

Michelle Molander - My grandma’s mixing bowls. Love ’em. 🙂

josie - my christmas ornaments – so many memories!

Jenn B. - My most treasured item is a wine bottle I saved from my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary celebration.

Nancy T - My favorite treasure is a small ceramic fox that belonged to my great grandmother. I smile every time I look at it.

katie phillips - My parents handed down to me a the top half of an old dentist’s cabinet. it is a beautiful thing that must have stood in a tall room because my half (just the top half)stands as tall as my shoulders. it is shabby worn white with scuffs and patches to show it’s age. There are two doors that open out that are plated with beveled glass. it has three shelves inside and I keep sentimental nick-nacks inside. i absolutly adore it!

Lisa Adams - Quilt I have made laying around the house

Christian @ Modobject at Home - The gorgeous, colorful cathedral window quilt that my husband’s grandmother made for us with so much love. It’s on my daughter’s bed and I feel happy every time I step in her room. I also treasure the aluminum Emmco chairs that are around our dining room table. We found them at a surplus sale for almost nothing at a time when we REALLY needed chairs for our table but didn’t have much money to buy any. They are a visual reminder to me of how God not only provides for our needs, but also how He delights us with things that we love.

Robin - Our home library . . . love*love*love our books . . . and time reading them together!

Julie Baldwin - My favorite treasure is picture of my son in my arms when he was born. My husband captured the most beautiful natural light.

Ashley - My favorite treasures are my framed black and white wedding photos of both sets of my grandparents, in vintage frames from thrift stores. They make me so happy. And hopeful for that kind of love!
And…by the way…it totally took me a third glance to realize that the gumball machine was a canvas, and not your real gumball machine. Amazing canvas!

Rebecca - My favorite treasure is my childhood jewelry box that my daughter now uses!

Ashley Mays - One of my most treasured items at my house is a pink, plastic pony…like a My Little Pony, but off-brand. One of my best friends and I used to steal it from each other every other week or so when we worked as camp counselors together. Towards the end of the summer, we stopped stealing it and started “gifting it” to each other so we’d find it at random times. Somehow I ended up with the pony at the end of the summer. My dear friend passed away a couple years ago. When he died, I found the pony in a box of stuff I’d forgotten about. I’m so glad he managed to sneak it back to me one last time. It’s a treasure to me. 🙂

Heike - My favorite treasure is my vintage camera!

Jenni - Probably my photos and journals.

Dana - My favorite treasure at my house is my grandmother’s family bible. It’s an extra large table top bible that she stuck birth and funeral notices in for years. It also has drawings that her grandchildren (me and 6 others) gave her. It not only holds the great word, but a ton of family memories. I’ve told my husband countless times that if there was ever a house fire that bible would be the second thing I would grab (after my children of course.

Maureen - All the cute little vintage treasures. Matryoshka Dolls, Afghans, Egg Crate, I could go on, but I’ll spare you. All the old things have history and character. They all have a story before I knew them.
Btw. I think you should sell your prints…I’m sure I’m not the first to tell you so? 🙂

Greta Buehrle - Love treasures! My favorite is my vintage Kit Kat clock that hangs in the kitchen. I love his smile, swishing tale, and side to side eyes. You need one for the craft house!

Krista - My favourite treasure is a diamond ring that belonged to my Grandma. She left it for me after she died and I wear it every day.

Rachel Newswanger - An old dresser that was my great grandma’s…I used it as a kid. Then it was old & worn & moved to the garage & my dad used it for tools. A lover of antiques spotted it & took it off his hand’s & refurbished it, beautiful, but it was theirs. I grew up, got a house of my own & one day my husband redeemed my old dresser & it now resides in our bedroom & once again holds my clothes!

bauman.wl@verizon.net - My Children are my treasure….

Kassondra - my favorite treasure in my house besides the people and dog of course would have to hands down be a bright blue lantern I found at a yard sale! it’s my favorite color plus it looks old and used, I mean loved on 🙂

Candi - My favorite treasure is quilt made by my great grandmother. So beautiful and special.

Heather S. - Every time we go on a road trip (once or twice a year – I have wanderlust) I pick my favorite photos from the trip and have them made into a gallery display – it is so much better than just having all the photos stuffed into albums (which I also do) because I see them every time I walk through my command center!

Diane - I don’t have many treasures but there is one item that I love so much. It’s a Longaberger market basket that my husband’s grandmother let me have before she passed away. Loved that beautiful lady so much and she had a whole bunch of baskets for me to choose from. I’ll never that let go. EVER.
And wow, those canvases are beautiful!! Thank you for the giveaway!

lena ~ JOYfilledfamily - i was just sharing this last night with my hubby – my fav treasure is my french farm table. it is an authentic replica french antique that i snagged from craigslist. the going rate was over 4k when it was created (in France). i got it with chairs for 300. it is worth every penny and will grow with my family since it has two leaves that allow it to extend to fit a total of 16-18 people.

Julie - Call me crazy – but its my old Fisher Price house that lives in my kitchen. LOVE your canvas and can’t wait to someday be picked for craft weekend! Merry Christmas!

Jaime - I love LOVE your canvas. That picture is amazing! Can we win that?!? lol.
Let me see, my most treasured item at my home would have to be a super old copy of the original story ” The Wizard of Oz” that my grandma and grandpa gave me. They were both voracious readers and as a result so am I. They both wrote and signed in the inner cover too. The book is falling apart now, but it is something that I will treasure forever.

Jill - I have many treasures. But I would have to say my favorites are the two little pinch pots my kids made for me in kindergarten. So perfectly imperfect!

jhdevereaux@comcast.net - It is so silly, but it is a rock that a little girl in Greece had painted and was selling on the street. I gave her a dollar for it and she was so excited she started jumping up and down. It was he best dollar I have ever spent and it makes me happy every time I look at it!

Sarah - Oh goodness, our pictures and our Christmas ornaments (we get one on every vacation we take so they all have a special meaning). Thank you for sharing! The gumball machine and watercolors are so fun!

Robin Canter - hhhmmmm… let me think. Favorite treasure is my collection of miniature chairs. Not doll furniture, but unique, one of kind super small chairs. I get compliments on them all the time. They’d make a great canvas pic!

Sarah - My bookshelves and desk that my Grandaddy made for me when he was 83 years old … precious gift!

Jen - My favorite treasure…I had to think about this! Besides the obvious kids, hubby, dog, I’d say it’s the 4 framed pictures in our hallway. All of our grandparents on their 50th wedding anniversaries. Now THAT’S something to treasure.

Holly - I love the big yellow fork and spoon set hanging in our kitchen! My husband picked it up for me during one of our antigue runs! He totally gets me!

Rachel J - I don’t have many things from my parents who are no longer with us. But I have an old ruler I found when cleaning out their house that I love- it may not even be old- but it looks it.

Erica Haude - Favorite treasure: the roll top desk that my grandma used when she was a little girl, and then I used in my room when I was little. I plan to pass it down to my own daughter or son someday.

mary - My favorite treasure in our home would have to be the furniture that my husband has built. It reminds me how much he loves me and is willing to try for me! And I’m proud of him because it all turned out so well!

Wendy - I have a precious photo of my adult kids that I would love to see on an enlarged canvas. Especially since we decided as a family that after 21 years of professional holiday family pics we’re stopping cause they’re “too old”…

mollie d - My mom’s jewelry box- my dad got it in Vietnam. Everyone thought it was so ugly so my mom took it. When she passed I got it. It’s tacky and beat up, but it’s literally my favorite possession

stephanie - Oh my GOODNESS! I really thought that WAS your gumball machine sitting there until i started reading! I have wanted a gallery wrapped canvas from mpix for awhile now. Aside from my awesome family, the things I treasure most in my home are pictures. They are memories of baby feet and epic road trips are the best thing to me.

Sara G. - Oh, Meg, I sooo love your blog! It’s so fun, bright, cheerful and real – I appreciate real! My favorite treasures are obviously my husband and five children, but beyond that it would be an old quilt that my grandma made. She has been gone for several years, and I think of her often.

Stephanie R. - My favorite treasure is a Bible given to us on our wedding day by the pastor who married us. He wrote the sweetest message to us inside and it never fails to make me smile when I see it 🙂

Marla - My favorite is my jar that holds the dried flowers from my wedding bouquet.

Shannon - love having photos of my family all around me so that would definitely be my favorite treasure in my house.

Cathy Shealy - My most treasured items are my mom’s birthstone ring, I remember her wearing it when I was a kid and always loving it. Also my mother in love’s antique doll carriage and antique doll with wigs. Of course my husband and two daughters are my favorite treasures.

Amber - Is there any chance of the watercolor print appearing in your shop? I know you don’t usually stock items, but I would love to have one. Just a thought.

murray.aimee@gmail.com - My favorite treasure is actually a small canvas that I had made of my boys…unfortunately I did not use a nice company like mpix and it turned out awful. Even though any picture of them makes me happy…I hope to redo it one day bigger and better! Thanks for always sharing such beautiful pics that make me smile!
Aimee Murray

Hollie - My new favorite thing is a red chippy cabinet that I bought recently at a junk store. I smile every time I see it 🙂

Kristin - My wooden pig cutting board. During the depression my family members made each other gifts for holidays. My Great Uncle Gray made my Great Grandmother a wooden cutting board shaped like a pig. Growing up it hung on my Grandmother’s kitchen wall and now it hangs on mine. 🙂

Kristi K - my favorite treasures are the pictures of my kids and my nikon that i take them with 🙂

Amie - My favorite treasures are the yearly photo albums I’ve created for our family. Starting with our first year of marriage and now documenting our lives with children.

Kerrie Kaufmann - my favrite teasure is a windsor chair that my dad made by hand

Ruth - My favorite treasure is the barnwood table my husband made for me out of an old barn we tore down…it is beautiful, and even more special because it’s from him!

Kallie Brelsford - My favorite piece in our home is our kitchen table. 3 days after my husband and I got married we went to the salvation army on a whim to waste time and found an old farmhouse table and 4 chairs for 30 bucks! Our first purchase together! 🙂

Kathy - My favorite treasure is my grandma’s buffet. It is even more special because when I retired from teaching I filled it with special books and call it my book buffet. I look forward to sharing the special books in it with my future grandchildren!

Amy K. - One of my most favorite treasures is a little red velvet dress with white lace sleeves in a size 2. It was my dress when I was little. Another treasure is the memory I have of standing in front of a little country church wearing that very dress.

Kate B - My favorite treasures are the works of art by my father. I’ve hung them up where I can see them every day to remember and honor him.

Amber - My favorite (non person) treasure is the book my husband hid my engagement ring in for four years before he asked. Looooong story. It makes me smile every time I see it.

Sara - My antique jewelry box, passed down from my Great Aunt whom I’ve never met but am told I am exactly like! She got it on her travels to China; it has one of those old wind up metal music wheels with the little spikes, that a metal comb runs over as it spins t make the music!

Molly B - my favorite treasure is a ceramic mary and Joseph that my grandmother gave me. love!

erin j - Our book collection is a treasure for our family. We have lots of books we kept from when we were kids and even some that were our grandparents.

Jolene Stoots - My absolute favorite treasure is my Ted Williams autographed baseball that was my dad’s, who passed away 8 years ago. He was an avid baseball fan. He passed the love of the game down to me and now I am passing that love down to my boys! I see so much of him in them when they play and I think a big picture of them holding his ball would be the picture of him with them that I don’t have!

GretchenP - i have a hummel figurine from my grandpa. i always remember looking at his curio of them when i was little. now i have the curio and one treasured figurine.. it’s one of my favorite things ever! 🙂

Regan Huneycutt - My grandfather’s Leica cameras. Some of them date back to the early 1940’s and they are in mint condition. He passed down his love of photography to me and I am so grateful to have a mantle decorated with his cameras and equipment — such a great reminder of his legacy.

Nikki - I have so many treasures, it’s hard to choose! But I have a little white hutch that was my Granny’s. The paint is all chipped and perfect. Apparently she set it on fire at one point on accident, hence my Grandpa painted it white 🙂

Andrea Boone - My favorite treasures are my santa mug collection!! I love it and the hunt to find more.
I also have a china cup from my grandma that I dearly love.

sarahkc - besides my family with a new one on the way, i would have to say a dollhouse that was mine when i was little and my parents just surprised me driving out from michigan to arizona to bring that to my daughter for the holidays. she got an amazing christmas gift early (and i love playing with her too!)

Becky - Oh my goodness! How fun would that be to get such a big canvas! I would say an antique pair of wooden skiis, given to me by an old family friend when she moved becuase she knew I had always loved them 🙂

Shawna - Favorite treasure is my wall of photos of my kids.

Brittany - Hard to choose but I’d say my collection of rocks from Lake Michigan. They are beautiful and every time I look at them I’m reminded of my favorite summer vacation spot. I have them collected in a variety of baskets around the house but my favorite is a handmade basket made of curly willow full of those gorgeous rocks.

Juli - It could be the shadowbox of little curls of children’s hair, each one neatly tied in ribbon, some of them going back to the 1800s.

christiejayne - My baby blanket..cheezy yes! But its true..

Julie Earnest - I have a miniature gas lamp with a green globe base. It is from my grandmother.

mrszuithoff@yahoo.com - The dollhouse I got for my 5th Christmas, made by my grandpa. It’s going to be my little girl’s present this year!

Allison - I have so many, lots of things handed down to me from my grandparents and beyond…but my favorite is an antique bookcase with glass doors that flip up. I remember it in my granparent’s house, although it seemed so much bigger in my memories. 🙂

SammaMichelle - I have this crazy funny monk cookie jar that says “though shalt not steal”. It was my grandmothers and she kept her hersey kisses in that jar and I could only get one if I was really really good, which for me wasn’t very often. He’s on my kitchen counter and while everyone else talks about the fat monk cookie jar, I adore it. It’s my grandmother and my childhood all wrapped up in a cookie jar that never held cookies. 🙂

Kasey Laughlin - My favorite treasure is photo albums and Superhero capes from my boys. 🙂

jen@thecottagenest - Those are amazing! My favorite treasure? I’m sure I couldn’t pick one. Since we moved into this house we have surrounded ourselves with things we really love that are unique and now every day I wake up happy and in love with where I live!

jeannett - My grandmother’s wedding dishes.
There are only a few pieces. All of them chipped, cracked, glued back together. The enamel worn off.
BUT.
My family immigrated here from Portugal in the 70’s. Which means that there are almost NO heirlooms. You can’t bring a ton with you. But grandma’s dishes did. And if my house caught on fire, they’d be the first thing I would grab.
(Assuming of course, the family was safe. Obvs.)

BullyMama - I love your canvas of the gumball machine – not sure why but it looks 3d!!
My favorite treasure is a mechanical bank – Teddy Roosevelt shoots a penny into the tree and the bear pops out. It was given to my grandmoter as a gift when she was a young girl and she passed it along to me when I was young. My parents displayed it in our house while I was growing up and gave it to me when I bought my first house. Miss my Nana!!

Lindsay g - My favorite treasure would have to be all my photos and blog books I put together. I am a photographer and take thousands of pics of my 4 kids (soon to be 5!)

Sherry - My favorite treasure would be this giant teddy bear given to me when my grandma was still alive. I was probably 1 or 2 years old when I received it.

Janel - All the antique (old) furniture our parents have given us. WE love it all and helped furnish a house for newlyweds w/o lots of $$. 19 years later we still love it all!

Betsy - A little antique box from my Great Grandma McBrierty. The front of it has a sweet picture of a little girl picking flowers, and her name ‘Nora’ printed. I named my daughter Nora because of her. Love the little box that reminds me of my Grandma.

Natalie - A note from my grandpa when I got my license. Miss him.

Angela A - I think my favorite treasure is the little sink and stove that my papa made for me that is now in my hallway for my kids. Thankful for parents who saved it for me!

Seriously Sassy Mama - My favorite treasure is my three daughters. I would love to see them on a canvas on the wall!

Kat - My boyfriend, our puppy, and my collection of vintage quilts!

Kristi B - My favorite treasures are all the handwritten recipes I have from all the lovely ladies in my family.

kate - i LOVE the way you decorate!! i have a very old doll that used to be my great grandmothers that i absolutely adore!!

Lindsey - My favorite treasure is a very old school map set. My in-laws gave it to us. The maps hang in a wood box and roll up when you don’t need them. The maps are gorgeous in color…turqoise, pink, orange, yellow. They are so old that many of the countries have different names in today’s geography.

Lynn Ann Boettcher - So many things…my antique, kids roll-top desk I got from my mom for a bday present many years ago! I love mpix.com too!!

ShelbyG - My favorite thing would be the crib that my dad built for me and that all three of my kids have slept in. It is priceless!

Jennifer - I think I would have to say that one of my favorite items is the antique desk that was mine when I was in grade school. I went to a small two-room church school and we had these old iron and wooden desks. When the school closed a few years back we asked and were allowed to take our old desks. Now, each of my friends has one in their home and our kids use them. It is so fun to see them in the desks, just as we used to. I’m still close to all of my schoolmates, and that makes it even better!

katie - i feel so blessed in that i have alot of things in my home that make me super happy….i think one of my favorites is a big “H” highway sign i found at a junk store in arkansas several years back…

Flower Patch Farmgirl - Right now I’ll have to go with my thrift store mug collection that hangs on an old battery display rack from a tire store. Boom.

Lisa A - All the gorgeous pictures I have of my kids!! And the Chandelier that I found at a garage sale for $3 and repurposed. It’s striking!

Meredith - I love the mpix canvas (both of them)…Beautiful. I would have to say my favorite thing in my house is my handmade christmas ornaments and tree skirt that my grandmother made me years ago…LOVE this time of year!!!

sarahbjones - I have a mid century modern dresser I found on Craigslist. I love it!

Amy M. - Love your canvases! I would have to say my favorite treasure is our collection of Christmas ornaments. I have all of the ones my parents and other relatives gave me as a kid. We try to get ornaments when we go on vacation or to remember special times. It is so fun to reflect on the memories and the people as we unwrap them every year.

Autumn nuckols - my little girl and my husband would make the top of the list but i also treasure all the things pasted down to me from my grandparents. they all tell a part of my family history and i love looking back and remembering all the stories of past family who used them.

Gina - Wow! What a fun picture! Hmmm, my favorite treasure, well, one of them is my grandmother’s old typewriter she had in high school. 🙂

BriBedell - My favorite treasure at my house is an old racing photo of my grandmother from her 20’s! Miss her, love the picture!

Angie G. - Ohh, sooo many things: my kids, our family pictures, little dresses from when I was a baby, clothes from when my kids were babies….

cassie - My piano (my Grandpa surprised me with it when I was 7 and taking lessons!). Now my kids play it all of the time! (Sometimes,

ranee - this is pure awesomeness! and you’re right, it does look real..i thought it was in the first photo after a quick glance! 🙂 My favorite treasure is a large wooden bowl that was my great grandma’s—I set it on my table with seasonal decor in it…gourds, christmas ornaments, etc. I would love to win that canvas!! thanks!

meredith - our engagement picture blown up on a canvas in our bedroom!

Heidi Henderson - Not really sure I have a favorite, my scrapbooks, and my turtles would have to be it.

Etsetara - my favorite treasure is a hope chest that my husband and his father built for me. it has secret compartment, which is where my husband hid his proposal letter for MONTHS — and the chest was sitting in my house the whole time!

Cate O'Malley - My favorite treasure, outside of my kids, are our photographs. Hands down. Everything else is insignificant, but those captures of memories would be hard to replace.

Jessie Mallicoat - Some of the things my grandma made me before she died and my photos, of course! Love mpix, too!

erin - hands down, my son’s portrait.

rebecca - My picture of my son when he was 4 in his short alls and peter pan collar….priceless!

Jenn D - Since I don’t have a family yet, my favorite treasure would be all of the possessions passed down to me from my grandparents, especially my grandmothers ring, and knitting needles.

Heather Metzgar - My old church pew in the hallway!

Lindsey Jo - gotta be my blue ball jar collection. i always try to put them up when i change out decor, but i always end up getting them back out. they go with every season!

Verna Lantz - My music playing mantle clock, for sure. It is always the first thing that goes up in a new house. It always makes me smile. 🙂

JeanniePage - My pictures of my sons, hanging on the mantle. They were 6 and 7 years old, and have the biggest smiles on their faces.

Vicki - Hmm…favorite treasure–that’s hard! I’d have to say all the antiques I have collected with my dad. Oh! And my photo albums, of course!

Penny - My photos of my family. Scrapbooks, shoe boxes full and framed photos.

Allie - My kids!

Lynn - Besides photographs, it would have to be my mixing bowls from Grandma. When she gave them to me, I told her I would use them, but they might get broken. And she said, “Well I would hope you would use them. And if they break, buy new ones.” These bowls are over 80 years old, but I use them weekly and pray daily that I don’t break them!

Sharla - My husband got all of his grandpa’s OLD horseshoe throwing trophies and I love to see them mixed in with my son’s sports stuff.
Love that canvas! I had mpix do our Christmas cards last year and they were awesome. Now I just need an iphone so I can have the 4X4’s printed 🙂

Larissa - I have an old pie safe that belonged to my husband’s grandmother. I have it in our living room and it displays my collection of old jars and bottles. Love your canvas!

Charly Smith - Of course my family, but I treasure my Tiffany’s charm bracelet my husband got me on our honeymoon in NYC. A year later, he added a “It’s a Boy” charm to it.

Katie Beth - I think at first glance I thought it was real. I had to look twice to see the canvas you were talking about! I love your gumball machine too…so fun! It is hard to pick a favorite, but one of my favorite treasures is a tiny, glass bluebird that I got from my Great Grandmother when I was very young. I remember finding it in her candy dish, and she gave it to me. I will never part with it.

amy j - my kids 🙂 these are beautiful canvases!

amyellen - the few pieces of furniture my father made for me. he loved wood and had a workspace in the basement and made some really wonderful things.

Kribss - My kids artwork and stories. I started to frame and hang them on my wall for a daily happy reminder : )

tiffany gardner - My daddy’s vietnam/korean war hat. He wore this hat ALL. THE. TIME. I am so glad I have it to keep him close in my heart.

Rachelle - Of course my family and photos are dear, but if I had to pick a treasure I would say my idea book of clippings including dream rooms, travels, crafts, etc.

Annette - …the ceramic, light-up Christmas tree my mom painted when i was little and recently passed down to me…

Courtney - …an old antique school bench that we discovered thrown in the woods behind our home. It sits in our kitchen and is the best conversation piece! Your canvases look beautiful!

Amy - My family first and probably all of my scrapbooks!

Cory - My family, my pictures, and my mom’s Simpich Dolls.

Peggy in TN - My family!

Beth - Love mpix!! I have several photos from them (all my big ones that I’ve framed). Love that it’s a local company, too…well, local for my home town 🙂
Favorite treasure–besides my people, my animals.

Stacy M. - Love this! The canvas looks great. My favorite piece would have to be my great great grandmothers china cabinet. My Great Aunt gave it to me this year. I felt so honored that she wanted me to keep the special piece.

Merissa - My favorite treasure in my house is a blanket I have had since I was a baby. I still swear it has magical healing powers.

Candice - Sweet! One of my favorite treasures is this old map that my husband’s great grandfather mounted on wood. It has great character. I’m thinking of re-decorating our living room around it.

Lorie - Books and toys from when I was little.

Meggan D. - my family and doggies! And photos of my kids.

Erin - A carnival glass bowl that my mom gave me. She received it as a wedding present over 30 years ago from one of her favorite aunts. She passed it along to me to enjoy when we moved into our new house. I also have several photos that I love and have displayed in our house.

Donna - I have an old cabinet that was in my grandparent’s house. It used to hold their dishes (and a drawer for candy.) Now it holds the art supplies.

Julie - Other than my family… and my photos of them… I would have to say a favorite treasure of mine is my Grandma’s treadle sewing machine – I LOVE that I have something that she used regularly many years ago!

Kelly O. - my favourite treasure in my home is a set of dishes that were my grandmother’s.

Michelle - Hard to say, I have more than one treasure……..but I LOVE my Great Uncle’s red highchair he had when he was a baby! It sits in our kitchen and I adore it!

JenD - My rocking chair from when I was a little girl that my boys now use….thanks for te give a way meg!!! Loving the idea of a huge canvas with a pic of our new family on it

Kelly - Love mpix, have 3 standout prints, one for each of the kids and love them, excellent quality. My family of course if my favorite treasure!

Tiffany - Oh I really like your gumball canvas. I am seriously stumped. Stumped about what I would canvas. My family is an obvious choice, I’ve been wanting a new family pic since Summer. But something fun and colorful would be cool too. I’ll keep thinking.

Laura - My parents wedding photograph.

Katek - My favorite thing in the house if a framed piece of art from my mom. It hung in our family home. One Christmas she gave it to me. It is a picture of a young girl in a big black coat on a winter day.

Amanda - My favorite treasure is definitely my grandpas antique green truck that we got! I want to get out family pics with it so badly sometime!!

Lori H - My great-grandmother’s baking table. It has two biiig rounded drawers that were for flour and lots of little drawers that may have held spices, not sure (one of the little drawers was gnawed – maybe a mouse back in the day). It is very old, but sturdy and I am so happy to have it. Your canvasses are amazing – the gumball machine looks 3D!

megB - The wrought iron birdcage my Mamaw passed down to me a few year ago – it is a beautiful treasure in my home.

Becky - I’ll have to try them next time. It turned out fabulous. I have so many treasures in my house. Probably my favorite is the antique vanity a friend gave me. I painted it robin egg blue and added butterfly knobs from Anthro. It’s where I sit to do my hair and make-up. Treasure for sure. Thanks for the opportunity to win. I would love to try them out!

sarah - My favorite treasure is some of my great grandmas dishes.

Missy - My favorite treasure is my computer – sounds silly, but it has all of my family photos on it!!

megB - Ahhh… my favorite treasure. A few things come to mind, but one of them would have to be the wrought iron birdcage my Mamaw gave me a few years ago. It is heavy – old. It doesn’t look like anything you could buy at the store these days. It is a reminder to me that sometimes, old things are far better than new things 🙂

sarah - i’m not super sentimental, so this is tough. i have a bible that my great gramma gave me when i was 7 or so. took me another 18 years to put it to good use, so i’m glad it made the cut through all of the moves and purges. but, my most prized possessions are probably quilts i’ve made for my kids. oh. any my kids. 🙂
thanks for the giveaway chance!!!

jerusalem - Oh I would LOVE to win this. My favorite treasure is a Map of the Languages of Europe post-WW II. I love the colors and the uniqueness of it.

colleen sullivan - My kid’s baby pictures!
LOVE your canvas art…. so creative…and gets me to thinking about what I would make!
At Ikea yesterday and found a plastic tray in the dish dept that reminded me of your water color shot… it was those colors on a white plate in polka dot form on a dish = made me think of your canvas.. funny how the mind… and blogs work, huh?

Tonya - i have this really old lunchbox from my grandpa, he and i would put banana stickers on it everyday he took one in his lunch.
he passed away 20 years ago and that lunch box sits on top of my fridge.
a large canvas of it would be wonderful.
thanks for the chance to win.

Erin - my family!

Kimber-Leigh - other than our family, my greatest treasure is a antique blue pie-safe (with old, wavy glass in the doors) that i found with my husband in an old antique warehouse which he surprised me with on our first anniversary. it holds a very special tea service given to me by my mom and every time i see it, i smile.

Maegan C - a locket my grandfather gave my grandmother when they were dating!

Sarah Madgwick - Besides family… My fiesta dishes. We use them everyday and they’re a ray of colorful sunshine every time.

Gretchen - I have an old door from my husband’s grandmother’s farm. It still has the original glass in it. A few years ago I dug it out of an abandoned barn and put a blue glaze on it … be still my heart!

Karrin - My favorite treasure would be the recent photos that a burgeoning photographer friend took of my boyfriend, myself, and our dog. We’ve been together for 2.5 years and our family calls these our “pre-engagement engagement photos.” She made our little family look so great and I’d love to win a canvas with one of our favorite pictures printed on it!

Patti - Hmmmmm….I’m not generally someone who is attached to things so this is a rather hard question. I have to go with our family pics. We get a photo session done once a year with a local photographer whom I just adore. My favourite thing is ordering prints for our walls. I love going back and looking at the photos from year to year and seeing the changes….love! 🙂

Laura Kelley - Most definitely the first painting my mom ever painted. It’s this amazingly bright red and yellow flower and it’s true love.

Kaye - an old ceramic poodle that is so ugly but I love it!

Kim Bernhardt - I have lots of treasures around my house from my grandma but one of my favorite I was able to unpack this weekend. It is an old Christmas ball that says “Merry Christmas” it never gets put on my tree it is always put in a special place no one will touch it. It reminds me of Christmas with her.

Kris Lewis - Besides my family, it would have to be photographs. They freeze time.

Amanda - My favorite treasure (other than my 8 month old son and precious dog) is an antique Singer sewing machine that belonged to my great grandmother.

Sara B. - Letters that my dad wrote to my mom while they were dating…

Jen N. - My favorite treasure is a pair of candlesticks that my grandpa made. They’re like this intertwining, DNA-esque looking thing, and I have no idea how he made them.

shannon stout - Oh I LOVE MPIX too! They are THE BEST! My favorite treasure is an old grandpa sign that I had given to my grandpa when I was in high school that says “grandpa’s are just antique little boys.” I know I’m not a grandpa, and a grandpa doesn’t live here but it’s something I gave MY grandpa and when he passed away my mom made sure I got it…..:)

Becca - My favorite treasure is my early christmas present, my new laptop!

heidi c - If I have to pick just one, it would be my hard cover vintage Girl Scout handbook that I got for Christmas last year. I love that gumball machine canvas!

tonya - my favorite treasure (other than the obligatory family) is my collection of old bibles…especially the ones with lots of notes written in the margins!
your canvas turned out great!!! i love mpix, too!

Jenna S. - Other than the people inside (of course), I would have to say our pets. They were our babies before we had babies. Watching our children grow with and love our animals makes my heart happy!

Katy Keefover - My husband and my dogs. We have been apart for a majority of our marriage because of the military. I cherish every moment with him, and our puppies!

Ella - Those are such fabulous canvases! My favorite treasure (other than my family) is going to sound a bit odd. It’s our house itself. It’s nothing grand and has been in a state of continual remodeling ever since we first moved in nearly a decade ago now. But it’s ours and we’ve gradually made it far more functional. The beautiful part is taking longer as it always does, but it’s grown on me over the years. It’s where we’re rooting our family of 7.

Kelly - My Keurig….

Beth - My favorite treasure is a Dollhouse I made for my nieces!

Julia - I use MPIX too and I love them! I’ve never had a canvas made by them though. One treasure is a picture of my dad when he was a teenager with a cute smirk on his face.

Denise V. - I have a little red rocking chair that my grandpa gave me 37 years ago. It’s a happy little red chair.

Julie Kittredge - besides people and photo albums. I think I have to say my Christmas ornaments collected over the years. They hold many memories!

ann - love my pillow, thats sounds odd, but what am i to do without a good nights sleep?

Donna G. - Too many treasures to just pick one, but right now my favorite is a small blue chippy stool. I would love a gallery wrapped canvas…I hope I win!!

jen - what a beautiful picture!!! how bright, sunny and happy. my favorite treasure are my photo’s. i have framed family photo’s all over the walls at our house – we actually only have one piece of art on the walls..something my husband made. my walls are covered in family photo’s as i see them as our best art – mostly picture of our kids. they are our best work! so actually maybe they are my favorite treasure…..

Karen - My family is of course, my favorite treasure, but the pictures of my family are my favorite possession by FAR! Love the mpix canvas!

Rebekah - My favorite treasure, other than my family, are our family photos! Some have not been printed yet so this would be a wonderful gift to win!

Stephanie Carroll - my french press!

Tim - My family!

are you on instagram?

i am Meg Duerksen on IG… come follow along.

are you going out black friday shopping?
i am in the morning…starbies first….then all my favorite shops but it won't be the same without you mom & lorel!

i actually LOVE black friday.
it's not as crowded as you think.

 

lorraine tuohy - my most precious piece is my late mom’s engagement ring, what makes it even more special, is that she gave it to me before she passed. She said I want to see you enjoy it while im still here!

Christina - Poor Annie!
Your pictures are awesome, as always. I need to get to creating with these children of mine!! Your house always looks so fun.
Well, not the laundry part. 🙂 It looks just like mine in that regard!! haha! I like doing laundry, the smell of the detergent as it’s going…it’s the putting away part that kills me! I want a dresser for each person right in my laundry room! So…I need a pretty big room. ha!
Thanks for sharing your life. It always makes me smile. You have a way of making life look so beautiful. (I need that inspiration!) (I hope that doesn’t sound as lame as I think it does…I’m trying to compliment you, not sound pathetic! 😛 )

Nicole G - Meg, I just want to say Happy Holidays to you and your family and thank you. Your blog is a place I can go to when I am feeling not so happy about the current state of things in life. Your positive attitude and gratefulness for the wonderful things God has given us each day really opens my eyes and reminds me that I am blessed in so many ways. I am so thankful that you share your world with us for it really means a lot to many, myself included.
God Bless you and your family,
Nicole

Jenny B. - OH NO! I’m so sorry about Annie’s broken arm! I just now checked your blog and went back and read the past couple of posts. That SO stinks. 🙁 Praying for quick healing.

Andrea @ This Pug Life - The only place I went for Black Friday was Michael’s. I popped in before work. My store was dead! I bought an embarrassing amount of ribbon, but at 70% off, I couldn’t help myself.

Alisha - Poor Annie. I hate it when you can’t take the hurt away. Just makes your heart sink. Where did you get the ADORABLE round link fabric covered bracelet? I must have one of those!!! 🙂

Lori Austin - Keep thinking about poor Annie. I remember my broken arm so well. Not being
comfortable is NO fun. 🙁
Love the bracelet party on your arm. Pretty!
A little Black Friday shopping for me. Nothing worth going out super
early this year so I took my time getting up, showering, making hot tea and
then heading out. I did see Christmas cards with *your* Whatever verse and
thought of you. 🙂

michelle - meg,
i am cooleyfamily on IG. sorry your plans were foiled but glad you made lemonade outta those lemons. god is great all the time.
peace,
michelle

Andrea - “Redonk” and “Starbies” funny words! Laundry is my arch-enemy! WHERE does it come from ALL the time? Why? How? I don’t understand it!! I am impressed you have your kids do laundry–I should start, or maybe not! Ugh!

Kirsten J - Poor Annie – well, you’ll have to make next year a great Thanksgiving. Believe it or not, I went at midnight with my kids. My 22yo was going to take my daughter and her friend, but my husband thought better of that idea, and somehow that translated into hubby staying on the couch and me driving the kids. At least I took a little nap before. Target was not bad at all since we didn’t want electronics, then American Eagle and Aero were all ours as well. We drove through McDs at 2:30 and the girls proclaimed it “the best shopping trip ever”. And my brother-in-law took over pies this year so there was normal pumpkin, and a “Hoosier” pie – not bad, and thankfully no Splenda.

s - Hope the arm heals – poor thing!!

Ashley - Sean is also your TWIN!!!!! OMG I never noticed before how MUCH he looks like you! Like……EXACTLY LIKE YOU! 🙂 cute!

Jacci in Ohio - I’m “mrsmogun” on Instagram, btw. Confusing to have multiple usernames, huh?
Have a great weekend!

Jacci in Ohio - It makes me happy to see you drinking out of my mug 🙂 I think I mentioned this on IG, but my kids call that my Covenant Mug. I’ve told them before that it always reminds me of the promises of our God… our God Who never changes and is always faithful, even when we are faithless. So, it’s happy to me to see you with it. I drink my morning coffee from it almost every day.
Also, poor Annie 🙁 She’s the same age as my middlest… breaks my heart to “see” her hurting for so long. Praying for her.
And thanks for the Waffle peek! I miss that dog! 🙂

lorel - next year, baby! next year. we missed you too. 🙂

Kerstie Pederson - No Black Friday shopping for me. My son BROKE HIS ARM yesterday! NOT EVEN KIDDING!!!
ER last night, Doc today, now sleepy time. 😉

christy - So sorry that lil’Annie is in so much pain. Poor lil’ munchkin.
Went out last night & the lines were cra-azy, I decided to go back home. Then b/c I oculdn’t sleep went out about an hour later & was home by 11 with a few small items, but not the big item on my list. Scored that today, thank you Amazon! Hope you had a nice time, even though you were missing your momma & sis.

Kerry Wiebe - Went out and conquered! Love LOVE LOOVVVVEEE the black friday! I hope you found your kitchen aids 🙂

Sarah{Handbags*N*Pigtails} - Hubby and I went BF shopping last night(after dropping the girls off at Nanny’s for a sleepover:)) and then again this morning. Last night was INSANE! We usually don’t go out until Friday afternoon but last night one of the stores was so crowded and so HOT that I nearly passed out.
Everyone was generally in good spirits though(which was a nice surprise after being a little taken aback by the ambulances at every store entrance). Except for one woman who loudly proclaimed behind us at one point “If I don’t get a F%$&^#@ TV I’m gonna rip someone’s head off. WOW.Some people scare me:)

Leadia Jarvis - Hope Annie’s feeling better. Hopefully we can continue our “no broken bones” streak at our house because that doesn’t sound fun. Did it happen on the trampoline? Say “no” because we have TWO! I went Black Friday (or technically Black Thursday/Friday) shopping for the first time yesterday. I was scared, but if you go in with a plan and don’t browse, it’s not that bad at all. I only slept 4 hours so far today. LOTS of coffee is in my future!

Ann Williams - LOVE that Annie is smiling even though she has had a tough week. 🙂

Amy - Hey I have that same rainbow mug!! My favorite!
So sorry about poor Annie. Sometimes holidays just work out a little differently than planned, so I hear ya. Our Thanksgiving ended with a trip last night to the E.R. with my 7 year old son, who was having breathing difficulties from a piece of candy he ate (he is our peanut allergy kid). So I can commiserate. 🙁
Hope Annie heals up quickly!!

Amy@littleforalittlewhile - Have fun, hope you get some good deals!

it a gift to us everyday.

annie decided "clams" would be the PERFECT show-and-tell item to bring to school.
so she filled a water bottle full of closed up "clams".
and she was hot which is why she isn't wearing her shirt.  :)

absolutely beautiful day.
completed with pizza for dinner!  
yay for no cooking.

Casey - Lovely photos! I think what I love most about fall is how God can make all things beautiful…even when they’re in the process of dying.

Tiffany - So much to say… 1) Looks like a beautiful place to expolore. That’s one of our favorite things to do as a family, and I’m so thankful MN has wonderful state parks for that. 2) Oh what I’d give for the warmer weather it sounds like you have. Snow hasn’t even stuck here yet, and I already miss the warmer weather. 3) We were just up in Duluth at Lake Superior and were looking for heart shaped rocks along the lake. We didn’t have any luck… Fun to hear you have a collection. 4) YES to pizza for dinner. Not much better than no cooking! Glad you had such a nice get-away! You deserve it!

Allison Pfefferkorn - I am about 99% sure the first picture of the red leaves is poison ivy. I only say 99% because where I live we have posion oak not ivy. But it looks exactly like that. Hopefully none of you are allergic or none of you touched it.
It is a beautiful leaf, but oh so bad if you are allergic.
Beautiful pictures. They all really captured a reconnecting and peaceful time.

Juliane - Gorgeous day. Love that you can get away as a family and take some beautiful photos in the meantime. Pulling memories into art-making is always the best. Our personal lives always flow in and out of our creativity.

Wendy - Love the heart shaped leaves (7 pics up from bottom) … they go with your rocks. <3

Aby - Absolutely beautiful. Places and days like that refresh the soul. And its a great reminder of how its the simple things in life that really do matter. Thanks for sharing!! As always!!

Sarah - What a beautiful peaceful place! I love that it really looks like fall, but it’s warm enough to be out in shorts and t-shirts(or not :-)). Here it looks like fall and feels like winter!

jacki - Felt like I took a walk right with you! That animal bone/spine things must have been an interesting find too.

denise@victory rd. - lovely photos.
i need a day like this. to stop and rest and breath in deep.

Branded Photo Booth - Now you will realize how great is our God. The beauty of nature, trees, flowers etc. we need to thank him for all.

Valerie @ Chateau a la mode - Aren’t those just the best days…just hanging out enjoying nature…for free…heehee! Love all your pics. P.S. I have a big dorky dog too and she is just a big dorky love! Looks like Waffle is that way too. Happy Sunday.

Sarah - I just love your photos…brings back memories of my childhood growing up in the woods…especially the wooly bear!

melodee - your pictures are always just so amazing!

Lisa - Love days like that! Also love that Annie went shirtless! Haha! 😉 Love all the pictures.

Christina - Love this post! And the picture of you and Annie?! Wow…so beautiful!

karlene - that looks like a great day!!!

tiffany gardner - Love all the photos! Yes… God is everywhere! Like me having the opportunity to meet you TODAY!!!!! I had no idea you were having a craft weekend or that we were coming to bearly makin it… until today! I’m sure it seemed weird to you but honestly it was So super cool for me to see you. You are the first blog that I ever found… not long after my daddy died from Alzheimer’s disease. You constantly challenge me to live in the moment, let the little things go (with my kids), and CREATE!!! I am STILL so pumped. It will stay with me every time I check in with whatever!

kcandeakromm@gmail.com - Did you go visit Manhattan wearing a KU shirt?

Krista - Hasn’t the weather been crazy? Leaves changing & falling but warm enough to play in the water and be hot enough to take off your shirt (LOL love little Annie)

lauren - You reminded me a line from a favorite old song….”there’s so much beauty around us for just two eyes to see…but everywhere i go, i’m looking.’
don’t know how familiar you are with rich mullins. he might have actually been looking at something lovely in kansas when he wrote that!

Jennifer@CupcakesandMudPuddles - Gorgeous photos…glad you guys were able to get away for a day and enjoy it.

steph - awesome pics!
looks refreshing…
and some pretty nice family time!!
ha… and i love that annie isn’t wearing a shirt!
that girl is a hoot!
(she’d get along great with my 6 year old girl.) 🙂

Amy@littleforalittlewhile - Any day that concludes with pizza is a winner in my book! Looks like a fabulous day!

Tracy - Beautiful Kansas!!
And you said it: Yay for no cooking! Amen!

Linda - Such a beautiful day. Only a little jealous that your kids are still in shorts! Amazing photos as always! Love these posts.

Verna Lantz - Absolutely gorgeous! What a wonderful way to spend the day. I cannot wait until I live near water again. Special times always seem to happen around the water. 🙂

Sandy W - It looks like so much fun! Did you know you took a picture of poison ivy? I hope no one got into it.

shannon - beautiful pics as always. love the colors of the leaves this time of year and ending the day with pizza could it get any better 😉
Happy Weekend!

mary beth - Glad you were able to enjoy a warm fall day…they are numbered for sure! Thanks for sharing your pictures with us all, I feel like I got to come along on a fine day in Kansas – love it!

Sara @ it's good to be queen - Amazing photos. Getting out in nature is good for the soul. Happy weekend, Meg!

Peggy in TN - Beautiful fall days are so special. I was thinking, “I sure wish I could take my shirt off when I got hot like Annie did!” It would be so nice to be that free. We have had a gorgeous fall here in Tennessee too!

sunny sunday.

craft weekend went well..fun group of ladies!
we added in a dairy farm visit on saturday.
my friend kerry had a sale out out her farm and we took the craft girls out there for lunch & shopping.
and a bonus was getting to see the cows up close too.

i came home sunday afternoon from Craft Weekend and it was absolutely PERFECT outside.
i watched my girls jumping on the trampoline and could not resist pulling out my camera with that gorgeous light pouring in through the yellow trees.

i was happy to be back home with them.
we made a campfire and had s'mores and all night i was just overflowing with gratitude for…. all of it.
the sunlight….the turning leaves…the quiet….the beautiful setting….my kids….my husband….the stars…

and the left over cheesecake.
 
how was your weekend?
what did you do?

i pet a cow.

(and later….i found cow poop in my hair.   for reals.  but i lived.)

 

 

Jenny Lynn - these are AMAZING! such sweet memories and BEAUTIFUL pictures 🙂
i can’t wait to go to a blue lily weekend! i’m dying to go!

danielle burkleo - i cannot handle these photos. LOVE.

Lisa M. - Yes, I know you told us this just recently, but I cannot find the post. Sorry…

Lisa M. - Hi Meg, I know you just told us this in a recent post, but what is the camera lens you use most of the time? I am looking into buying a new lens and I’m having a hard time deciding.
Thanks for your help!

Ann Williams - I wish my girls got along as well as your do! 10 and 7…like yours? So sweet!

Penny Smith - Great weekend!! Fun seeing the girls in “3D”! 🙂
Thanks for everything!!

Kerry Wiebe - Megs, so sorry about the cow poop it’s a regular hair accessory around here. HA HA Thanks so much for coming out and bringing your troops. Loved seeing you and Kimberlee

susan - OMG number 7 – enough said.

amber - these photos of your girls are priceless! beautiful use of light and love!

tara - had a marriage retreat this weekend….wonderful getaway with just my man.
your girls are looking so much older, especially Talby.
the one of them laying together and smiling real big is a keeper….those moments where they are happy to be next to each other and smiling don’t always happen at our house these days..(12 and 10 year old boys) …maybe that’s why I’d treasure that picture.

Kate - Oh Meg – they are so beautiful! Great pictures. Um, and sorry about the poo. That is all.

Flower Patch Farmgirl - Now I miss our hopper. That’s what the Amish folk around here call them, Hoppers. (An Amish guy once patched our hopper top.) ha

talya - they are so adorable !!! but please put a safety net, pleasssee.

April R - makes me wish i had a sister 🙂
makes me wish my daughter had one…hmmm 😉

shauna - what a beautiful set of photos meg!
the light and the setting are dreamy!
and your girls are heart wrenchingly precious.
what beauty surrounds you, my friend!
thankyou for sharing.

Tiffany - Those photos are amazing! You are so talented! Thanks for sharing it with us! 🙂

Tanya - Your pics of the girls remind me of me and my younger sister growing up. Besties.:)
I missed my kids all weekend and worked on a quilt that is SO over-the-top outside of my skill set…yikes. I’ll be shocked if I can pull it off!
Thanks for sharing…it was a smiley moment for moi!

dee - Your girls look so blissfully happy.love the pictures-love dee x

Tracy Fisher - The photos of your girls are precious. -tracy

Sandy - Stop! I can’t take it anymore! Annie is growing up FAR TOO FAST! And when did Talby’s hair get so long?! I must not have noticed because she probably had it pulled up all summer. What beautiful and loving children you have! …says a lot for their parents! Blessings to you & Craig!

jackie grandy - I love the shots of the girls Meg! They look like they’re kindred spirits, so happy and free. We biked tons this weekend as a family, and I just have to say that it made me so happy. The weather was gorgeous here as well and we made sure we got outside and enjoyed it. We purchased headlights for our bikes and biked to dinner and then biked around the neighborhood in the dark enjoying all the Halloween decorations. It was brisk, but so fun!
Happy Monday!
BTW, I am saying “for reals” all the time now and the kids and they keep rolling their eyes at me!
Jackie

Christy K - Love, love, LOVE these photos Meg! Seeing all that beautiful sunshine made my heart so happy… and your girls! My goodness! They are getting so big and look so mature now… wow! These pics are framers for sure! Thank you for this little ray of sunshine on a cloudy day here in good ol’ Winnipeg. A very Happy Monday to you! : )

Lisa - These pictures are stunning!!! The lighting and their smiles are awesome!

Valerie @ Chateau A La Mode - Love the pictures of your girlies and the cow poop thing is why I don’t enjoy nature that much 😉

Erin - I see a little bit of you in each of your girls. Do either one of them look more like you when you were growing up?

domesticali - Your sweet girls are really growing up all of a sudden. Beautiful pictures.

seriously sassy mama - The pics remind me of my daughters. They are such good friends.

angela - I cannot get over how much Talby…or is the older one Annie? Anyway, the older of the two looks so grown-up now! Precious girls! I need to go get myself on that craft weekend list!

lindsay - this is why i read your blog – cows, beautiful pictures, cheesecake, family, gratitude. and the picture of them looking at each other, i die, it’s so sweet.

Angela - Beautiful pics, Talby looks a bit retro with her jeans and sneaks, so fun! Had to post re: the cow poop- I just started doing night milking at a dairy barn (way up in Canada, woo!) and let me tell you I have had my fair share of poop in the hair, on my face, down my shirt, you get the picture… My kids say I stink and I actually smell up the whole room when I get home from work, LOL! I have to admit, this may be gross, but I actually kinda like the smell! Yikes!!

Lisa M. - Your girls are beautiful. They seem to really have fun together and enjoy one another. Beautiful pics too!

Jodi - i am pretty much in LOVE with these photos. seriously what a perfect combo of sisters and lighting! awesome!

Shannon - The girls are looking so much older!
Hubby and I had a great weekend without kids but I’m happy to be back home just wishing I could stay in bed all day today and sleep!

Dani - I had the most amazing weekend! My husband watched the kids so I could attend the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk! I’m a beginner at photography, but I had the most fun!
Your precious girls are just so beautiful!!

Shannon B. - I love how much they love each other and how much it shows! Precious! Glad you were able to have a nice relaxing evening with the family, not so much about the cow poop! Haha!
And I’m totally making the cheesecake this week…in my apron!

beki - How funny, I had to pull out my camers for some golden light trampoline photos of my kids this weekend, too! Annie is looking so grown up these days. Where does the time go?

Kathryn Goertzen - so . . . my friend and I (both from Nebraska) were in town this weekend for the festivities at the college. At 11:30 p.m. Saturday night as we were driving from our hotel to Druber’s for donuts we saw the Craft House all lit up. Seriously considered dropping in. Would that have been o.k.? Would that have freaked you out? Have you ever considered taking your craft girls to Druber’s in the middle of the night. Fresh deep fried and frosted at midnight . . . yummy!

sara @ it's good to be queen - gorgeous girls. gorgeous photos. gorgeous light. happy monday, meg.

Jen - Beautiful girls, awesome pictures – happy all around! Talby and Annie are getting so big! I’m glad you had such a wonderful craft and family weekend, Meg.

Kristin S - I love that they are not too big in their britches (we stay weird things like that in the South) to be silly on the trampoline. Proof of good parents!
My mom’s visiting from Colorado and is in major home project mode. She won’t sit still!

Megan - Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Your photos fuel my DEEP DEEP desire for a 24-70. 🙂

Trish - some of these need to be on a canvas! BIG… like the one of annie and talby together… sisterly love, just the sweetest!
i want to put my name on craftweekend list, but need to wait until the little baby doesn’t need me, if ya know what i mean 🙂
left over cheesecake would make be very grateful too 🙂
i probably would have dunk my head in hand sanitizer if i found cow poop in my hair 🙂 glad you survived!

they won their games that night with POWER and confidence….so fun to watch.


there is a new happy wall at the craft house this week!
the house and the rooster were from the sparrow mercantile.
and the print too…she made it for me special.  :)
but i hear she may be making them for her shop too.
lucky you.

Amber - I made a pandora station today based on Mumford & Sons and I laughed out loud thinking of you when Phillip Phillips Home was the second song. http://www.pandora.com/stations/share/1091640507528120005
You’re welcome. 🙂

Michelle - I would love to read “The Message”, but when I searched for it, there were tons of books by that title. Who wrote the book you are referring to?

Flower Patch Farmgirl - I thought that Old Navy return was a bag of DRIED BEANS at first. And I thought, For the Love of Pete, Lady!
haha.
You were making me feel good about the state of my purse, with your bag of beans.

Adrienne - My gum is always all over my purse too 😉 looks like y’all are having fun!!

Brooke - Do you know what I like about you? You dont’ try to show everyone how cute and organized your purse is…..or you don’t lay it all out in order. You just keep it real. Thanks for that. I am not going to lie, I want my swag and every other month’s swag at craft weekend. I guess that means I should work for you…so i get one of each swag. Oh man, i wish I had some talent to bring to the CW team. I don’t.
Hope you have an awesome time this weekend!!

mama lola - hope you’re switching sides when carrying your purse!!! how do you fit all of that in your purdy blue bag?
happy crafting!

Trudy - I want to come to craft weekend just to absorb all the good, colorful vibes! And please know you ARE a blessing to so many!
You need to check out the First Friday in Kansas City next month. All the vintage shops downtown (West Bottoms by Kemper) get together and have their shops and flea markets open at the same time. Not only do they have some way cool stuff to buy (I snagged a super shabby chic chandelier!) the inspiration is amazing!

Karen Gerstenberger - Have a wonderful time at CW!

Carrie - Courtney (and sally, below), she talked about it when they first moved. Look in the archives at the end of February and early March.

Su@TheIntentionalHome - I want those hoops and I want that print too. And I am trying to figure out how to wrap fabric around the outer loop???

Jennifer Davis Wood - I had and have the biggest crush on Phillip Phillips and you just reminded me of it! Got to go look up some Phil youtube now:)

Jill - Have you ever had the Peanut Butter and Jelly M&Ms? They are AH-mazing. They are special limited edition…so anytime I see them on the shelf, I stock up. And then hide them so I don’t have to share. 🙂

Southern Gal - We watch AI so we have definitely heard the song and love it. In fact, my son made me play it again today. I say “made me” because he loves it too much and played it so much I banned it for a while. (Then all he did was sing it, especially the ahh-ahh-ahh parts, so I lifted the ban. ;))
I love reading about Craft Weekend.

Courtney - This is all beautiful, but I checked back today because I was curious as to whether you were going to answer as to why your family is living in the rental? I assume this was a business decision to keep your home set up for craft weekends? It is confusing to some who may have missed an explanation somewhere along the way.

sally - So wondering if you are going to explain what is going on with your house situation? No offense, but it is starting to seem odd that your family lives in a cramped rental with one bath while you reserve your beautiful home for down time and craft weekends. Are we missing something?

ko. s - I love your posts! Especially when they are filled with so much random goodness! That’s a lot of stuff in your purse lady! I was at a women’s tea last weekend and we were asked to decorate a hat with whatever was in our purses, lo and behold I had a toy gun in my purse! I was the envy of every table! Ha! On a different topic I’m so glad to see you run in what my hubby calls fashion sunglasses! He thinks I’m nuts for doing it 🙂 Hope its a lovely weekend! Looking forward to seeing all the crafty goodness on IG!

Tiffany - I love so many things about you… but that purse? Oh my. I would die. Can I organize for you when I come for CW next month? 🙂

Tracy Fisher - Ever just had one of those days. Sprinkling outside. Crying inside. PMS? Hormones? Feeling left out of a group outing? Just hearing the words CRAFT WEEKEND cheered me up! I am signing up soon. I swear!! -tracy

mum of all trades - Finally the inside of a handbag that looks like mine! Whenever people show the contents of their bags, its always so clean and streamlined. Love the flowers for the craft house.

Maura - Do you make a double batch in your kitchen aid? I always do a 1 1/2 batch but have been afraid a double batch is too big?? I would love to make more cookies!

jackie grandy - I love all the color in this post from the awesome Hunter boots, to the craft wall and lastly to that amazing photo with the oodles of flowers and pumpkins. I love this time of year so much. The colors are so vibrant. Have a great craft weekend and enjoy the cheesecake. Feel proud of yourself that you ran in 30 degree weather! Just so you know, I wouldn’t be doing that! I’m a total wimp when it comes to cold weather.
xoxo,
Jackie

Jocelyn Pascall - Love the Hunter boots! Have a GREAT weekend!

christy - What a fun, happy post! Love all of the color! Thinking Craft Weekend needs to go on my life list.
Not that you asked me, but I think you should definitely add chickens to your life! We have 4 & they are fun, and silly & YES, they are fast! We let our free range in the yard (sometimes) & chasing them around to put them in the coop is hilarious fun. We have one “prodcution red”, one more peach & 2 that are black & white, but different from one another. They love to eat meal worms as a snack, they go NUTS!

Kimberly - Ever since I discovered Hunter boots I’ve wanted yellow pair! Love!!

Emily - Why is it that Orbitz gum NEVER stays in it’s pack once you open it!!??!! That purse looks like mine!

Megan - You are amazing, and I hope to come to craft weekend sometime!! I would love it.

Sierra - Oh man, I seriously laughed out loud when I saw what all was in your purse. 🙂 Isn’t it funny how much stuff we can cram into them? haha Also, that is a super happy backseat! 🙂 Hope you ladies all have a great weekend.

Wendy - … & the flowers … & gords … & yellow rubber boots too!

Wendy - Love your silly mood 🙂

Leah - Question for you: Is there some secret way to get Instagram photos to your blog? Right now I’m just manually saving them from Facebook or wherever I’m posting and then inserting to my blog. There must be a better way to do this!

april - LOVE LOVE LOVE the hunter boots and happy flowers…..I hope you have an amazing weekend girl! xoxo

Terrie - That has to be the happiest backseat ever!!
Have a wonderful time at Craft Weekend!
🙂

Gretchen - Love Home, the words just speak to me. It sounds crazy, but some songs do that. It also makes me think of my late husband, and the home we made together, and the one he is making for the day I get to see him again. I just love it. It is on repeat all the time. Have a great craft weekend!

that is my little quilt i found at the barn last month.
i love how it was clearly made from fabric they had…not $10 a yard quilting fabric that just came out this fall.
it's crazy and wonky and doesn't go together.
i love that.

ok.
back to painting.

🙂

happy friday to you.

when i was in 8th grade…i had german class….and i learned that friday was "FREITAG"…pronounced Fri-tog….i still think of that when i am thinking about saying things like "happy friday"….

how was that for a random fact?

 

 

 

 

Heidi Jo the Artist - Such a happy post! Love thrifting! Such a fun coffee cup! Especially love the stack of plates, kicking myself for not getting some at a garage sale now, the story of my life… I do have plenty of broken pieces I’ve been saving for a mosaic piece though, just need to make time to make something now. 😉

faye - i really like the coffee mug.

Lindy - Such happy photos! loved the inside of the coffe mug so much it’s my screen saver—thanks

Heather S. - I totally have that Katie Daisy print in my kitchen right now! Have a great week!

Sandy - LOVE the coffee cup with the surprse inside! 🙂

Katie - You could make garden flowers with those plates/dishes You have to have a special drill bit to drill through glass though!

but I am sure you mosiac idea will be beautiful too!
pretty pics – thx for sharing!

Lisa - I think this is the happiest blog entry I’ve seen ! I’m saving it for when I need an “upper”. I love all the bright colors, and the fact that you save random china plates – I LOVE random china patterns. I’m excited to see what you do with yours some day. Thanks for the smiles. Your blog is always fun 🙂

amy jupin - i’m feeling so emotional lately.
and just crying at everything.
and of course i get to the part where you made the pillows and i just burst into tears!
i’m a total dork.
all this crying has to stop! it’s exhausting! 🙂
i love the pillows.
and i love you.
mean it.

Mary - such happy things you find!
love em all!
xoxo

Penny - My maiden name is “Freel”. Everytime I see Free! I think it is my last name!

Alicia @ La Famille - you make me want to go to Goodwill. but i never find as cool of things as you do. maybe today’s the day?!?

jen - okay i love that you are smashing plates for mosaics but did you know…that in the top photo with the basket weave around the edge was {and is mine although it’s across the country in storage} my grandmother china pattern and she has the whole set! and in the second photo the plate with the needle point is her tea set – again has the whole thing and it’s my sister’s. i couldn’t imagine smashing that! {although they are NOT my style!} but i know they are probably chipped and worn so go ahead…just know i will be wincing in quebec! ha!

mama lola - that mug could not be more perfect! great find!
and the quilt pillow… genius! old quilts can be hard to salvage as a whole piece, but making something small out of it is fantastic; and what a great way to make something personal as a gift for someone!

tiffany gardner - just wanted to say how much I still love your blog. Yours was the FIRST BLOG i ever read!! And I have to say…. it is still my very favorite. thanks for bringing joy to a life you don’t even know. honest.

Shelly - Frei is my last name. No wonder Friday is my favorite day! 🙂 When we were in Austria for our 10 year anniversary a few years back, we saw our name everywhere. “Free!” 😉

Beth - You always find the BEST stuff when you go thrifting! Why are your stores so much better than the ones around here? haha I very rarely find great stuff. 🙁

shauna - love your pillows!

Terrie G - Can not wait to see your mosaic project. Always wanted to do something like that!
Lots of pretty things to look at tonight!
All of that would make a super Happy Friday!!
You find the best quilts & fabric!!
Happy Painting!

betsy - Meg – I had to tell you this story that happened in my classroom last week. Every month, I decorate for the season or holiday in that month. Each month, I have new decor to hang from the ceiling: leaves, snowflakes, conversation hearts, Chinese lanterns, etc. In August & September, I hung the bunting you made for me a few years ago in the bright fabrics & ribbon. On Friday, I stood up on a stool while my 4th graders were working to take it down (for the 8 foot spider web that went up in it’s place) and my kids all started to whine that I was taking it down. “No! Leave it up! Why are you taking it down??” I told them I loved it, too, but next month’s decorations were awesome, too. They asked if I made the bunting, and I happily said, “Nope, my friend Meg made it for me!”
Thanks again … I love it!

Tiffany - I took German through collage. Funny words in that German language! 🙂

Kristin S - I drive through Kansas every two years on my way to and from Colorado for the summer. Next summer? I’m getting thrift store ideas from you and MUST STOP on my drive. Gracious, we have nothing like these amazing finds at ours.
I went to an auction preview this afternoon for an entire “estate” for a woman who passed away. I had high hopes of a quilt or two. She had some but they weren’t well made enough to last much longer. Though it was really weird to see a person’s entire home contents all organized for auction – down to a half used bottle of B&BW Warm Vanilla Sugar hand soap.

Mommyjulia - LISTENING to you’ve got mail? Oh you are too cute. (I wouldn’t know how to work a new tv either.) and, you are so good at the fabric combo-ing!

Becky K. - Another use for the vintage plates is to give them to a friend with some baked goods on them. Much prettier than a paper plate or rubbermaid container.

Amy K. - eee! That top plate in the first plate photo is the Spode pattern I inherited from my grandma… I do not take use it nearly often enough, so this little reminder was a breath of fresh air!!

Suzanne - I love all the bright, happy colors. glücklich Freitag!

Karen Gerstenberger - Did you ever visit my blog and see my glass- and pottery-topped table? I made it from found beach glass and pottery. I’ve made a bathroom countertop the same way – it’s a joy forever. Your thrift store dishes reminded me. Those projects are a lot of work, but a lot of fun, too – worth it!

rachel - love all your pretties. 🙂 i can never find lovely dishes when thrifting. …boo. happy weekend!

EmilyK - That’s sounds a lot more exciting than the work I’m doing today! 🙂

Lindsey - Lovin’ the tablecloth and also the quilt pillows! That is an incredible idea for old quilts with holes! I am so inspired now!

happygirl - Friday in German is very random. I’m working on Friday, too. Not nearly as pretty as your work. 🙂

Debbie Hargadon - I actually LOVE this idea. I’ve been saving favorite clothes of my kids for years — this would be good — even if it were very random in appearance, the familiarity of it would make it okay. I’m curios as to how large her rectangles were? or how thick the strips.

seriously sassy mama - German in the 8th grade is pretty random!

jerusalem - oh craftiness delight. wish i was working with you at the craft house!

Amy@littleforalittlewhile - love this! I hope to find a sweet little quilt when I come to craft weekend, among other things 😉

Tanya H - My grandmother made quilts like that! Not that pattern, her’s were rows of rectangles, but every rectangle was made of scraps after making clothes, or when the clothes wore out, she’d cut them into rectangles. Every one of her children and grandchildren got at least one- I have three twin size from when I was a kid and one king that was a wedding gift. They’re kinda funny to look at, but they’re all warm and excellent quality. My mom can go thru them and say this was her skirt, this was dad’s pants, on and on. 🙂
