WW: Raphell Fountain Sculpture at Brookgreen Gardens

Woman Fountain Sculpture at Brookgreen Gardens


"As we give love, so shall we receive love.
As we give strength, so shall we receive strength."
- Raphell Sims Lakowitz

This beautiful fountain sculpture by Bruno Lucchesi memorializes Raphell Sims Lakowitz, from whose loving leadership flowed a new way of helping mental health patients. Stroll through more of my Brookgreen Gardens photos or better yet, visit South Carolina yourself!

    A really interesting sculpture in that its beauty is so lifelike rather than an attempt to stylize, or idealize.

Handmade Giveaway: Spring Leaf Anklet by Erthe Fae Designs

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 95th commenter, Brooke! The season of buds and blossoms isn't over yet! The spring leaf anklet above will bloom into a lovely addition to one reader's accessory garden. It is one of a kind, planted in the Erthe Fae Designs studio by AJ Reardon. The Czech glass beads and satiny leaf-shaped beads are strung on sturdy, flexible beading cable which holds up well to daily wear.

Jewelry Giveaway: Silver Wreath Ring by Kate Szabone

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Linda Meyers-Gabbard for submitting the randomly chosen 702nd entry. Have you dragged your holiday decorations out of the attic and dusted off the Christmas wreath yet? One reader will win the above sterling silver band by Kate Szabone Jewellery and get to hang a wreath ring around her finger during any season. The design is reminiscent of a budding rose branch. The band looks simply lovely on its own, but can be stacked with two or more rings. Kate even makes a matching engagement ring, available in 14k white, yellow or rose gold and set with a rose cut diamond or moissanite stone! Walking through the wonderland of Kate's online shop is a beautiful sight. Her jewelry is inspired by the simplicity and complexity of nature, the Art Nouveau movement and her mother - a photographer, spinner and fibre artist. Kate uses a range of recycled metals, natural gemstones and conflict-free diamonds whose sparkles are even breathtaking...
