Thank YOU dear lady.
ReplyDeleteLast night a fellow boarder thanked me for taking care of the horses at the barn - a job I am paid to do. It meant a lot to know that someone notices and appreciates it, not just expects it because they've written a check :)
Aloha Allisunny! Im leaving my comment as official entry to your amazing giveaway! I cant believe the colors and pattern in the cab you cabbed...she is really one of a kind, and of course filled with even more love since you created her yourself, it would be an honor to decorate my finger with her! Mahalo!
ReplyDeleteIn it to win it :)
ReplyDeleteYour laugh and your smile are infectious!! Love to you today Sunny!

So amazingly generous of you! After lots of changes recently in my life, I've been feeling a bit like an orphan myself lately. This can be both sad & thrilling at the very same time. Oh life! Perhaps the ring is meant for me?
ReplyDeletexo,
Terry
i love your heart. & what a beautiful heart it is.
ReplyDeletexo.

Hey Allison !
ReplyDeleteThis contest is really a good idea and a great opportunity to speak about kindness. It makes the world go round, for sure. But it's also rare to see real kind people nowadays in our selfish world so thank you for being who you are.
For me, kindness it's letting someone else win this contest.. =)
Love. Peace. Music.. 'til the end !
You are kindness embodied in a bright and shining human shell, you know that?
ReplyDeleteLet's start a rock band, you and I. Music rock, stone rock, strut rock, heart rock, foodie rock, SOULROCKMAMMA! (guitar riff...)
This last year I've seen kindness manifested in more ways that would even be appropriate than to list in this commenty space, but know YOU have been a beacon and a constant to me. It's what the world needs now.
ALSO. I might give a pinky toe for that agate. But the right foot, not the left.
Even though I know that you're more and more inspiring and amazing and talented everyday, I can't believe it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words, your messages and warm advice!
what a shirt! and, with risk of being gushy, what a beauty you are! so sunny sunny. it's a gift. so glad you share it.
ReplyDeletexoxS.
I was just thinking about how people seem surprised by small kindnesses. A father at our school, who is a recent immigrant, even thanked me for warning him that he was parked in a bus zone.
ReplyDeleteYour kindness and generosity brightens my day. Thank you!
you are just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, thanks for doing this contest.
The stones that you cab are amazing. It would be (and is!!) such a pleasure to wear your work.
And the kindness of this community really is pretty inspiring. Thanks for adding so much to it :)
my oldest son just watched that with me and commented on how it seems us ladies are all the same out here in blog land.....
ReplyDeleteI guess he means full of love and light...right 16 year old???
love it
what a great t-shirt and what a great giveaway
doesn't it feel good to spread the love?
kindess...kindness moves me...I love giving it as much...maybe even more than receiving it...I lvoe the way it warms my heart like long burning coals that heat deep deep within....
ahhhh a long enough comment I am sure!
love and light to you!
Unspecified Happiness today. Is it because of tap class last night, a visit to Trader Joe's, a mani/pedi, or listening to my roomie Ally share her story? Maybe all of the above. Wearing my Jasper Heart and Peaches & Apples everyday. Much ♥ to you both!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to treasure a piece of your jewelry and a bit of your sunshine.

What a kind person you are. I love your ring, the colors of fall.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your thoughts about this blogging community. I never would have guessed that one could feel so connected to a person far away that you never met. I also feel the connection with so many of the bloggers that I follow.
You are a gem of a girl, thank you for your generosity.

wishin and hoping and dreaming and scheming --- be mine! be mine!

ReplyDeleteI have felt so much kindness lately from the women who comment on and read my blog.
ReplyDeleteI would love to wear this wonderful, 100% Allison piece. It would be my first ring ever. I've decided that you and Jillian are too talented for me to shun the beauties you create for the fingers.
Love the video and hello! I love your videos!!!! Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteMs. Kelly linked me to your blog after your visit together and I have been reading and loving, too. I am usually weird about shirts with writing on them but that is an adorable and true one. Thanks for the reminder!

What a generous gift! I would be honored to be entered into the contest for this exquisite piece! I have been following your blog since discovering your leather work, which led me to your drool-worthy lapidary pieces. I hope to one day be lucky enough to snatch up the privilege of a custom order listing. :::keeping my fingers crossed:::
ReplyDeleteMany blessings to you!
You are a ray of sunshine! What a beautiful message you send out to the world! If I were to win this gorgeous ring, my daughter would think me one amazing mama, especially when I tell her someday it would be her ring ;) As a matter of fact, her name just happens to be Sunny! Ha! best of luck to all who enter...the winner will be one lucky lovely lady!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, LOVE your videos!! It's so wonderful to see your Sunny face and hear your warm voice :)
ReplyDeleteThe greatest kindness one can bestow and/or receive is a heartfelt "thank you" and a friendly smile. Something as simple as that can turn around the bleakest of days for me.
LOVE the ring - fabulous contest!
Your teeth! Your smile!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful.
You seem so still tonight.
I could sit in your presence, dear one.
Hugs.
Blessings.
Love.

Much love.

I've read your blog for some time and must say it is joy to see you. Kindness is all we need. In addition to love. Strangers who are kind to me makes me feel just great. :)
ReplyDeleteThis orphan would find a fine home with anyone of us who love your work - I'd be honored! And I know what you mean about this kind and supportive community. It brings me to happy tears. (8.5)

ReplyDeletei love that you are cabbing your own stones now.
Yehaw!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a delightful week :)

You make some truly beautiful pieces. Not to be creepy, (although it is Halloween time)but...I met a friend of yours in Chicago (she was going to visit you this past weekend) and she was wearing a beautiful cross section of a stone with three metal studs in the middle. Any chance you have another similar ring? Or, alternately, the "It's all about soul dudty ring" in a smaller size? I love them!
ReplyDeleteOh, I would so love to adopt this orphan ring and smother it in love daily!! Thanks for being such an inspiration with your art and your soul!!
ReplyDeletexo
Wowser's thats some ring. Tis windy and dark here in Cornwall but our clocks go back Sat night so at least the morning's will be lighter...Happy Halloween!!

What a gorgeous ring and gorgeous post. I love how a simple t shirt can bring strangers together and get them interacting with each other. Just reminds me of one of my favorite quotes, I have up on my wall. "No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted"-Aesop.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the generous giveaway, I would love to be counted in!
This is my first comment on your blog even though I frequently read it, linking from Katherine's blog. (I went with her to show of yours in Redondo Beach one Valentine's day when I was visiting Calif.) I love reading and also adore your jewelry.
ReplyDelete- Lisa
beautiful beautiful work & words! Thank you
ReplyDeleteDid I comment already? I don't remember... but I couldn't chance not getting in an entry. :)
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!!! The ring is pretty too. ;)
Good afternoon Alli :) On a random note, I love your turquoise walls. If I ever am fortunate enough to have a dedicated studio space, I would love to indulge in a turquoise wall.
ReplyDeleteThank you for inspiring me with your leatherwork and jewelry.
I can't believe I'm going to see your beautiful face in a little more than a week! I WANT this stone in this setting on my hand. PUT ME IN THE DRAWING!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove you, sister,

ReplyDelete"Be lavish with love. Its the only treasure which multiplies when shared, the only gift which increases when we give it away." ----Oonagh Shanley-Toffolo
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite quote, and love has changed my world by kindness people have shown. Recently, I went to pick up my daughter at a friends and she was not there. I did not have a cell phone but, she did. I dashed into our local library and asked the librarian if there was a phone I could use. Apparently, the library does not allow people to use the phone so, she reached in her purse and gave me her phone to use...It put this mother's heart at ease to know where my daughter was. Sometimes it is the little things that mean sooo much. Thank you for your consideration and sharing your beautiful voice and art <3
A small kindness from a classmate helped me get through a tough period in my life. She never knew it and I'll never forget it.
ReplyDeletehello scrumptious one...kindness feels good...you sent it out and i caught it! sending a big smooch back at ya'! amen!
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping that beautiful piece can make it all the way to deep south Georgia.
ReplyDeleteYou are right - words are very powerful. They really can change the world! How fitting to give away an orphan ring! Blessings to you on such a beautiful sunny fall day!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be part of this give away though i dont know if i m too late..
ReplyDeletei think kindness is always around though we dont always see at first glance... fortunately, this shirt exists to remind us about it and it s really nice;)
Hi Allison! That ring is beautiful, such lovely shades. Hope I win ;)
