This bead is simply beautiful!
I got it for my incredible wife as a rememberance of her Father, who was a farmer his entire life..
He was an incredible man, honest and humble, who tilled the fields every day and took pride in the knowledge that he was growing and harvesting crops that would feed his neighbors.
My wife, as a child, was always up at the crack of dawn with her Father, helping him milk the cows, gather the eggs from the chickens, and help bale the hay..
The 'beads' are supposed to be part of life, part of a journey..
And I must say this, when I gave her this bead for Christmas, and explained why I chose it for her, it was a very special moment...
