Easter Baby
I was born on Easter Sunday in 1963 so it the Easter Bunny that brought me along. The bunny must have been on some protein drinks programme  because my poor petite mother gave birth to a   bonny lad weighing in at  10Ibs 8ounces……a premier Easter egg if I may say so myself  with lots of surprises in the inside! I am still working out what they are !….Liam the other half of MYSTONES on the other hand is  more of a slim line egg with a dark side …he actually likes  dark chocolate !  Anyway …….Easter is coming and all that chocolate is threating …….what is all is about…..so much chocolate !  I don’t  eat as much chocolate as I did …I am 24 and a bit  now …..well in my head I am ……I will always be tempted by the a chocolate Easter Bunny but maybe one of the things that I am taken by now is a gift that has some deeper meaning, some permanent meaning
Easter Gift that is close to nature, and so Liam and I developed the MYSTONES Stones of the Spirits…… We wanted to honour our ancient religious heritage …..we want to off If If you would like to give religious gift at Easter….we wanted to represent some Irish Celtic signs on stones that would be lovely to give as gifts  alongside the Easter Bunny
So MYSTONES has a variety of Easter Gift Stones …..We have beautiful  a  Celtic Cross stone  and individual  stones engraved with the  uplifting text of   PEACE, LOVE, HOPE,  There is something about have a memory/token of Easter be it a sign of the Resurrection , hope, optimism  that we can l lovely to  keep,,,,so a stone  as a  token of this time to remind us when times are difficult ……for those who travel their life journey in the  Christian Churches  we have includes this extraordinary sense of Love and Peace that is Easter in the MYSTONES collection
 So lets enjoy the chocolate and let’s give a gift of a stone from Ireland to represent some say the jagged corners of life, the stone edges that represent the challenges and let’s face it …the suffering that life may present us with ….lets give a stone to represent the truth of the beauty and edginess that is  life. Easter in many traditions can represent the power of faith and commitment ……We wanted  the   MYSTONES collection to open gifts that can represent goodness and peace.
Now for Heavens sake ……let’s not get so heavy.! MYSTONES are also light! in more ways that one !! We have some witty stones ….YOU ROCK, I’M CUTE, LUCKY ME, LUCKY YOU, stones that fit in one’s pocket …stones for your bag can that be taken out when the time is right to have a private a public giggle !! I have a stone in my bag with the text REMEMBRANCE engraved …..it’s my way of remembering my lovely Dad.  I like the ancient Irish tradition of leaving a stone at a shrine so I leave a MYSTONE at  special places  from a  cemetery  or in my wardrobe ….my car…on my piano ……I see the stone reminding me of a person, or an occasion or feeling ….I like to hold the stone ….and yes I don’t know why …but it does….it does comfort me ……or bringing  up a lovely memory ….so Easter is the Bunny, the Easter Lily, and a lovely special MYSTONE…Feel .,,,,,Touch and Enjoy
