Since March, I have been working on a Catholic Patron Saint charm bracelet, and I'm happy to announce, kittens...It's finished!
NEW ADDITIONS:
St. Barbara - Patron Saint of artillyermen, military engineers, miners, and others who work with explosives.
St. Chirstopher - Patron saint of athletes, ferrymen, and travelers. He also is the Patron Saint of Havana, Cuba. (Thanks Babs for the donation of this charm!)
St. Joan of Arc: Patron Saint of captives, martyrs, soldiers, and Women's Army Corps. Also the Patron Saint of the country of France.
St. John Vianney: Patron Saint of confessors and priests. Fun fact, Patron Saint of the following Archdicoceses: Dubuque, Iowa; Kansas City, Kansas; St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
St. Margaret of Scotland: Patron Saint against the death of children, for learning, parents of large families, queens, widows--and you guessed it...Scotland! My personal fave....
Our Lady of Guadalupe: Patron Saint of the Americas. Unfortunately, this was another one that Bab's gave me from my Granny and it broke as I was trying to attach it to the bracelet. I'm hoping super glue will help mend it! :o)
All in all, the bracelet has been a success! I'm very proud of my hunt for Holy medals down South!
Beautiful bracelet!! Note to Saints in heaven: Hey Saints, you're not getting a whole lotta play these days. Props to Madge for keeping y'all relevant. Please do put all your great and powerful intercessory powers together as my lil' gal and her hubby work their asses off trying to get ahead in corporate America.
ReplyDeleteIt's so beautiful and detailed. Are you going to sell it? I bet you'd fetch a pretty penny on E-Bay for such a lovely piece! I think it's just gorgeous and a real conversation piece.
ReplyDeleteBabs--Thanks, let's hope above mentioned Saints come through!
ReplyDeleteAuntie Mame--You are just too sweet, I've gotten compliments when I've worn it when it wasn't quite finished before. Let me know who wants one and I'll start taking orders! :o)
