Would you like to hear the back story of my Havanese dog jewelry?
It Starts with Family
I dearly love my sister-in-law. Her name is Susan, and she is my late husband’s sister.
I’ve known her from the beginning of my entrance into the Rosenfield family, from those early awkward moments in the late 1970s when I, a Gentile, took part in their large Jewish family gatherings in Kansas City. Susan was always kind to me, and always welcoming.
She and I watched each other’s children grow to adulthood and have their own children. Back when Ed and I were doing art shows in the 1990s and early 2000s, her cozy home in New York was a base for us, at least once and sometimes twice a year. She and her husband Larry fed us, housed us, and regaled us with funny stories.
And when her only brother, my husband, passed away in December of 2020, Susan spent most of our phone time comforting me. She is just a wonderful human being.
And like all of my favorite people, she is an animal lover. Like me, she has mostly shared her home with cats. But a few years ago, the puppy bug “bit” her hard and she adopted an adorable Havanese that she named Mollie.
I Couldn’t Resist!
I haven’t met Mollie in person yet, but from the photos Susan has sent, it’s obvious she’s quite the little character. And crazy cute, in my opinion.
It didn’t take much convincing for me to make a Havanese jewelry design in Mollie’s honor. It would make Susan happy, which would make me happy. And I hope it makes a few of my customers happy as well!
Susan’s Sweet Testimonial:
“I cherish these silver earrings created by Merry in the likeness of Mollie, my much-loved Havanese puppy. Merry is a truly inspired artist with a great heart and eye for all she creates!”
Well, Susan may be a little prejudiced, but that’s OK. ❤️
What’s your Favorite Dog Breed?
So tell me…is there a dog breed you love, and have had a hard time finding in a jewelry design? Let me know…I am doing so much designing these days…there is always a chance your favorite breed could be next!
Your Animal Loving Artist,
