I designed this pendant on Wednesday last week and picked it up from the laser cutter on Friday morning. I love my laser cutters. They're so awesome and super quick with the turn around. I love how this piece turned out. I worn one on Saturday at the Maker's Market and a lot of people asked why I choose the year 1957. There is no special meaning behind it. I just like the way it sounds.
The other day I discovered that 1957 was in fact year that more Americans reported that they were happy with their lives than any other year before or since. How cool is that? So, now when someone asks I can spout this little piece of information and look totally, like, educated and stuff.
To celebrate the acquisition of this little gem of information I am giving away one of these pendants to one lucky reader. To enter simply leave a comment on this blog and a contact email. I will draw the winner on Friday evening using the random number generator. Good luck!

Hullo Rosie,
I love how you do things because you 'like the way it sounds.' It's what makes you so unique, and it's what makes the items you create so fabulous. I hope your markets were a success on the weekend.

1957 Was also the year that Christian Dior, pioneer of the famous "New Look" post war fashion silhouette passed away.
