Mandy started working at The Locket Sisters about four years ago when my sister and I had to do some international traveling to find answers to some questions that our local mentors and colleagues couldn't provide. I remember we gave her a whole setup for getting photos inside lockets with our process from her home (which is hilarious to think about now). Mandy has been here part-time since n…

Let me share it with you now. Almost exactly five years ago my then-three-year-old daughter, Penny, star…
"My husband tragically lost his mother in the Champlain Towers last summer. The picture I chose is of my husband as a teen with his mom. She loved to walk and in more recent years had trained for and hiked El Camino de Santiago in Spain. In her honor, my husband takes many walks with a weighted backpack.
