Mission Statement



↔↑←↑←↓→↨↔↑Mission Statement←↓→↨↔↑↔↑←↓


Every stone deserves a place to be. Especially when someone has gone out of their way to make it so, then, in doing so, later decides that something went wrong and the stone gets tossed to the side. Perhaps it wasn’t a stone at all, but someone thought it was, therefore it got cast out. Perhaps it is a piece of metal, borne of the scrap of 'ill refuse.'

Our mission is to show that each and every stone, no matter how mangled it is, no matter what it has seen in its better days, it shall have a place in our world, a place to show it’s own beauty before it returns to the big furnaces below where it will be melted, reformed, and remade into something new in the future; long after we are gone. After all, aren't we all living on borrowed time?


Just because it has been cast aside here, over and over, by hands searching for the perfect specimen; just because it has now become one of the “unchosen,” we have made a place for it in our world; because like stone, we, as people also have our own misfits and unchosen, and we are all here together in this world. There is truly a place for all.


It’s amazing when one thinks about it; the thing is: we have been led to believe that we are all perfect in our own way. The reality is that there are only a few absolutely perfect things in this world, and the rest of us?

Please Welcome a new member to the "MisFits"

No one ever said that that these sweeties don’t “get around.”
They get around all right.

Round and round and round.

They are restless little sweethearts.

They are tricksters too,
They actually think they’re Cheerios, but they’re not, so don’t milk them.



They just want to be restless, and they won’t take NO for an answer.
They want boundaries placed, like a runaway rebellious child.
If you leave your gate open they will search for new boundaries, and as life is, there is always someone out there in the wings, waiting to be fooled into thinking that they really are Cheerios.
Don’t be fooled. And don’t leave your gate open. They will run.


Sneaky Little Devils.



Place your boundaries early and they will respect and treat you well.
They do have the ability to escape if one is not careful about closing the gate behind them.



Little copper matte silkies* were added as a brake, but they wouldn’t listen and are constantly trying to jump the gate.
♥
Lucky for me, it’s an inner gate so that when they jump, they jump into their own yard! Ha! Just don’t leave the gate open.

Copper hoops hammered from raw copper (18g, in other words sturdy) and shaped into hoop earrings with little ceramic donuts (they’re not real donuts) ~8 x 5mm, in varying earthtone shades.

♥Please join me in a hearty welcome to Sneaky Little Devils as she joins the MisFits family♥
