Belle's Bell

Have I mentioned how much I love custom requests! (oh, I did!) This is just one more reason why I love them :)
I was recently asked by the owner of the winery where I sell some of my items locally to engrave a special item for her parents. Their dog recently passed away and her name was Belle. She found a really neat handmade bell on the internet and wanted me to engrave the hanging wood pendant that came with the bell.
I was a little nervous because it was an unusual shape and I wasn't sure what type of wood it was or how the engraving would turn out. But the more items I engrave, the more confident I become in my work :) And this turned out great!
I love that the bell is handmade...and now it is personalized too :) She said this will hang in her parent's back yard where Belle loved to run and play :) How perfect!

  4. that is so sweet! It brings heartfelt memories of our Emma, who passed many years ago. We had a bell on the back door, and she would go up and ring it to be let out. We still have the bell, and a doggie door! {:-D
