‘Find me love’ bracelet $55 Fire-polished multifaceted fire-polished Jet-Black round Crystal beads inter-spaced with Jet-Black fire-polished Crystal Beads coated with Bronze . The Santitos pendant of St. Anthony of Padua (size 25mm) sits between a large and smaller faceted Jet-Black bead, both are fire-polished and coated with Bronze. Beautifully packaged in a heavenly blue box the bracelet is placed in a dark blue velvet bag. The ideal gift for any special occasion. 15% of profits go to charity. SAINT ANTHONY OF PADUA Patron saint of those in search of love or lost items… …. Feel there’s something missing in your life? Have you lost something precious, like your mind or your man? Maybe you have lost your mind because of your man, but that’s a story for another time. Much loved and admired, St Anthony of Padua is the one to help you fulfill your needs. Also known as patron saint of shipwrecks (both maritime and human) and those suffering starvation, he has often been called the Wonder-Worker. A high achiever in every sense, St. Anthony was born into a wealthy family near Lisbon, Portugal, He entered the Canons Regular of St. Augustine at age 15, against his parents’ wishes, yet he excelled in his studies and was soon on the fast track to sainthood. In fact, he was canonized less than a year after his death. The miracles attributed to him are numerous but we love the slightly icky story of his exhumation, which took place some 300 years later. His body was found to be corrupted, yet his tongue was perfectly preserved – testament to the purity of his preaching. St. Anthony was truly a man of his word and, let’s face it, there’s not many of them around these days. |

A Quilter’s Holiday: An Elm Creek Quilts Novel By Jennifer Chiaverini $19.99 For the Elm Creek Quilters, the day after Thanksgiving marks the start of the quilting season, a time to gather at Elm Creek Manor and spend the day stitching holiday gifts for loved ones. This year, in keeping with the season’s spirit of gratitude, Master Quilter Sylvia Bergstrom Compson Cooper is eager to revive a cherished family tradition. A recent remodeling of the manor’s kitchen unearthed a cornucopia that once served as the centerpiece of the Bergstrom family’s holiday table. Into it, each Bergstrom would place an object that symbolized something he or she was especially thankful for that year. On this quilter’s holiday, Sylvia has invited her friends to continue the tradition by sewing quilt blocks that represent their thankfulness and gratitude.<P>As each quilter explains the significance of her carefully chosen block, stories of love and longing for family and friends emerge — feelings that are also expressed in the gifts they work on throughout the day. Diane is thankful for her two sons, who’ve outgrown their youthful troubles to become fine young men, but she wishes they revered their family’s traditions as much as she does. Anna, in her first holiday season as an Elm Creek Quilter, creates a quilt for her best friend even as she begins to question her feelings for him, which may have grown beyond friendship. Sylvia reflects upon holidays past spent with her beloved, long-lost cousin Elizabeth and wonders whatever became of her. Sarah, pregnant with twins, determinedly sews a Christmas gift for her father-in-law, whose persistent suggestions that her husband, Matt, come to work for his construction company have created tension in their marriage. And as Gretchen pieces a quilt for a charity she has not yet chosen and Gwen completes a project begun by her graduate school mentor, both women lend their talents to those in need.<P>As an early winter storm blankets Elm Creek Manor in heavy snow, the quilters find new meanings in their best-loved traditions |
