What We Are Current Digging
Vintage Patron Saint Medal Bracelets



Madge was born and raised Catholic. We're talking Catholic schooling and has an Uncle that's a priest--raised Catholic. Not only does she know the Hail Mary by heart, but can tell you that burying a St. Joseph figurine upside down in your yard will sell your house in a more timely fashion. 

Approximately two years ago, she started collecting Patron Saint medals from estate sales, vintage stores, and from friends and family that came across them. 

The result, a unique charm bracelet that she wears practically daily...


"My day seems to go so much better when I know I have the Saints watching my back." - Direct quote from our Gal.

We were recently introduced to these lovely wrist ornaments; handcrafted with semi-precious stones and vintage Holy Medals. And immediately started carrying them in our store. Within two weeks, we were sold out and placed a reorder doubling our original amount!




Madge's love for Holy Medals and the Patron Saint's that are represented have subsequently rubbed off on Jenny. 


Jenny's favorite saint--St. Luke, the Patron Saint of Creativity.


Margaret's favorite saint--St. Expeditus, the Patron Saint of Urgent Causes and Against Procrastination (no joke).

"Pray For Us" in Spanish on the back--so rare.

Stacking bracelets, a very popular trend currently--and with the varying bead and medal sizes, each piece is incredibly versatile and one of a kind. You can wear one or seven. 


No matter what your religion may or may not be, these lovely jeweled ornaments make a great gift for anyone, yourself included!!

Heaven Help Us...



Tonight we start our pilgrimage to the land of holiday floor sets. Commence the brewing of uber strong coffee.

Upon research, the patron saint of business women just happens to be St. Margaret Clitherow.

Coincidence? We think not...

St. Margaret Clitherow

St. Margaret Clitherow, pray for us. Lead us to be strategic in our planning and effective in our visual merchandising. Grant us inner peace and strength. Watch over the several hundred glass ornaments and our hands, as to not break as many as last year. Above all, please make this the most profitable holiday season the store has experienced. We ask this in your name, Amen.
