Even a Baseball is meaningful sometimes! A special home run baseball, broken upon the hit, became a wearable creation symbolic of a son’s achievement.
Found items on a vacation can become special one of a kind souvenirs– rather than the usual “Made in China” meaningless trinket– like this very unique Sea shell found by a client while scuba diving off the coast of Greece. His wife was thrilled to receive this unique and meaningful keepsake as a remembrance of their vacation.
