A customer came in today to order a pin for his wife for Christmas. In talking to him it came out that a (very) long time ago, I made him a Christmas ornament for the top of his tree. I remembered doing it because it is the only time I have ever made a Christmas tree ornament. In those days I used to work in silver routinely and I made up a large star in silver and gold with a diamond in the center. When he told me he was the customer who had ordered it, I asked him if they still used it and he told me that they use it every year and it's an important part of their holiday as it goes at the top of their tree. After he left he took a picture of it and sent it to me. And here it is!
More than anything it's important to me to know that I have been such an important part of their memories and traditions for so long (25 years maybe?). And that's why I love this business. Who else can say something like that?
