Build Me Up Buttercup

Snowdrops and daffodils are strong and beautiful.  They survive  harsh weather conditions, neglect, and continue to multiply.

City planners and developers love the Bradford Pear tree and it’s always an early bloomer.

The Bradford Pear has a distinct odor. Lately? I’ve been smelling a strong cat pee odor.  Turns out?  It’s the Bradford Pear trees!

Forsythia brings the explosion of early spring color. My neighbor sculpts and manicures his bush, trying to keep it contained. Personally, I think it looks better on the wild side, like fireworks.

Tickle Me With A Crow Feather

When a person of Irish ancestry passes away, it’s not uncommon for families to hold large, traditional funerals. However, now that cremation is becoming a more popular option, families have some alternatives on what they can do with their loved ones’ remains. Besides burial, many are choosing to keep a portion of the ashes in a piece of celtic knot urn jewelry such as a ring or necklace. This allows them to have their loved one close in spirit while keeping their rich Irish heritage alive.  One style of urn necklace that has been a  popular choice for families is the gold Celtic cross urn necklace.

Several variations of this symbol are found in the different types of cremation jewelry. Celtic knot cross, pendant and heart urn necklaces  are very pretty and discreet. Celtic knot urn rings are also available for men and women.

Cremation jewelry debuted during the Victorian Era, although at the time it was called mourning jewelry. It faded after the Civil War and didn’t resurface until the 1990s when cremation started becoming a more common burial option.

Mark It! It’s Good Day to Ride

Motorcycle tank urns are hot right now. Black seems to be the preferred choice, followed by silver.

This is the third riding buddy my client has lost in the last few years. Not from bike wrecks, but cancer or some other ailment. He bought the silver urn for his bud who’s dying from cancer and going down fast.  He plans to let friends take a sharpie and sign off on the tank.

The client even called back to tell thank us for the speedy service and how pleased he was with the beauty of the tank.

Thank you for letting us serve you.
