Say their name! 🤍

After someone dies, people often stop talking about them.
Sometimes it's because they don't know what to say. Sometimes they're worried they'll make us sad. Sometimes they think mentioning our loved one will remind us of our loss.

But we haven't forgotten.

We still want to hear their name. We still want to tell their stories. We still want to talk about the funny things they did, the things we loved about them, and the memories we never want to lose.

So let's have that conversation here.
Say their name. Tell us about them. Share a memory.

Who are you remembering today?

Tell us their name in the comments and, if you'd like, share something you remember about them.

We would love to remember them with you. 🤍

One of our most-loved wedding keepsakes 🤍
In July, our memorial bouquet charms were our #1 seller.
I think there’s a beautiful reason why.

When brides are planning their wedding, they want to have everyone they love surrounding them. But sometimes, someone very important can’t be there.

Our bouquet charms give brides a way to include that person as they marry their partner. A favourite photograph can be carried right on the bouquet, so their loved one is right beside them throughout the day.

I love creating these because they aren’t just another wedding accessory. They represent love, connection, and an important relationship that can never be replaced.

If someone you love couldn’t be at your wedding, how did you include them in your day? 🤍

What everyday moment do you miss most about your pet?

When Sam went to the Rainbow Bridge about a month ago, it was incredibly hard. But this week, I’ve found myself missing the little guy more..
The way he would bark at me for a green pea whenever I was eating them.
The way he always cuddled up beside me on the couch.
And the way he fit perfectly between my right hip and my arm. When his legs stopped working and I had to carry him, that became his spot.

Sometimes it really is the smallest things we miss the most. 🐾
The sound of their paws coming down the hallway.
The way they greeted you at the door.
Their favourite spot on the couch.
The walks. The routines.
Even the things they did that used to drive you crazy.
When we lose a pet, it’s often those ordinary, everyday moments that leave the biggest space behind.

What everyday moment do you miss most about your pet?
Please share it with us below. ❤️

Sometimes a photo says what words simply can’t!

This personalized memorial candle has a photo on one side and a beautiful remembrance saying on the other:

“There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone, the light remains.”

I love creating pieces like this because they aren't just candles. They are a way to keep someone's memory close.

A beautiful reminder that although someone we love may no longer be here, the light they brought into our lives remains.

Is it ever too late to give a memorial gift?

I don't think so.

When someone loses a person they love, there is often so much support in the beginning. The cards arrive, people check in, and everyone asks how they're doing.

Then life carries on.
But their grief doesn't simply disappear.

A memorial gift doesn't have to be given immediately after someone dies. It can be given weeks, months or even years later — on a birthday, an anniversary, at Christmas, or simply because you were thinking about them.

Sometimes being remembered later can mean even more.
It quietly says:
“I still remember them too.”
There really is no expiration date on remembering someone you love.

Have you ever received something meaningful long after a loss?
