It's History:

Every so often, my partner-in-life and I go to the park. We love our parks and we love those times together. We bring the dogs, take off our shoes, and explore the river bed at any chance we get.
Give us a rainy day, forget about it.. we'll be at the park. 

So how does this necklace connect to these park moments?

I collect these acorns when I am thinking. This particular moment I had been thinking about us. How we stand out, how we give each other strength, how we give each other our greatest expectations of ourselves. We always strive for growth. What we didn't expect, was such an evolving and growing love that endures every rainy day and welcomes every drop of sunshine.

I share with you all this 'moment of strength'.

Enjoy!
