I am Woman … Hear Me Roar!!!

It’s that time again .. it’s March .. and yeah we know the whole lion thing.  But that roarin’ is also the roar of women cuz it’s Women’s History Month.

Women’s history month for honoring the accomplishments of so many brave & fearless women.  Women who were not afraid to stand out, break social norms or risk being alienated by their communities.

These are  women who fought for the right to vote, women who flew solo across the Atlantic, women who played professional sports, women who served on the United States Supreme Court … and so many other feats … while still being mothers, sisters, grandmothers, aunts, step-moms ….

And keep in mind these women who accomplished so many firsts did so in an environment where such behavior was not considered “ladylike”.

So who is gal featured in the picture above?  That’s Rosie the Riveter!   Rosie is a famous icon who represents the women who worked in American factories during World War II – many of which produced munitions and supplies for the war.    Learn more about Rosie here

Photo Jewelry in honor of Elvis Presley

In honor of our great rock-n-roller, the incomparable Elvis Presley, we have made a memorial photo necklace.

This photo necklace celebrates a great musician who contributed so much to the artistic and social landscape.

Elvis was ground breaking as a white musician who pioneered rockabilly which is a fusion of country and rhythm & blues.  This evolved into rock-n-roll and eventually Elvis became known as the “King of Rock-n-Roll” or just the “King”.

And we mourns his untimely death at the age of 42 … 34 years ago on August 16, 2011 .

Elvis gave us so many great memories and tunes … Jailhouse Rock, Hound DogAll Shook Up, Love Me Tender
