Starfish story:
One day an old man was walking along the beach.
It was low tide, and the sand was littered
with thousands of stranded starfish
that the water had carried in and then left behind.

The man began walking very carefully
so as not step on any of the beautiful creatures.
Since the animals still seemed to be alive, he
considered picking some of them up and
putting them back in the water,
where they could resume their lives.

The man knew the starfish would die
if left on the beach's dry sand but he reasoned
that he could not possibly help them all,
so he chose to do nothing and continued walking.

Soon afterward, the man came upon a small child
who was frantically throwing one starfish
after another back into the sea.

The old man stopped and asked the child,
"What are you doing?"

"I'm saving the starfish," the child replied.

"Why waste your time?...
There are so many you can't save them all
so what does is matter?" argued the man.

Without hesitation, the child picked up another starfish
and tossed the starfish back into the water...

"It matters to this one," the child explained.

Also, if there is something you have seen somewhere else and can describe it or send me a photo, I may be able to create it for you. It's worth a try! Just contact me and we can discuss it!

**I stamp a majority of the jewelry by hand. Each piece is imperfectly perfect and one of a kind for the recipient. I also hand wrap the beads. These too are unique and no two are the same.
