Strutting Feathers
Grandma Bessie had a deep love for peacock feathers, a love that wove its way through both her fashion and her home. Every Sunday, as she prepared for church, she would carefully select one of her many hats, each adorned with a peacock's vibrant, iridescent feathers. To Grandma Bessie, these feathers were more than just a fashionable accessory; they were a symbol of elegance, peace, and spirituality.
She often said that the peacock's strut reminded her of the importance of walking through life with grace and pride, no matter the challenges one faced. The colors of the feathers—rich blues, greens, and gold—reminded her of the beauty in diversity, both in nature and in humanity.
In her home, peacock feathers were everywhere: arranged in vases, tucked into picture frames, and even woven into wreaths that hung on the walls. Each feather added a touch of sophistication and a sense of tranquility to her living space, reflecting the peace she sought to maintain in her heart.
The Strutting Feathers brooch is one of our favorite stunning creations that captures the essence of everything she cherished about peacock feathers. When she wore it, Grandma Bessie felt connected to something greater, a blend of fashion, peace, and spirituality that transcended the ordinary.
To us, the brooch is more than just an accessory; it is a reminder that true beauty lies in the ability to blend elegance with a peaceful spirit and to walk through life with both pride and humility.
