This is such a bitter sweet decision for me. I started Elemental Memories just a few months after moving to Vermont, while living with my in laws and 8 months pregnant with my 3rd son. It was such an amazingly welcome addition to my life. Those first few years as I built the business, I spent many late nights working on my website, fulfilling orders, photographing & designing new pieces. I took care of my boys during the day and then every night was filled with Elemental Memories.
This business helped us purchase our first home, the home we live in now. It has been a great creative outlet for me as well as a way to give back. I have enjoyed the relationships I have created with customers and the joy I have felt being able to touch other people's lives through the making of and sometimes giving away of my photo jewelry.
Change is in the air, it is time for me to move on. I feel deep in my heart that right now is the time to make space in my life for other things. I'm not sure where I'm heading but I am determined to not let fear keep me from making room for whatever is waiting on the horizon.
I thank you all for supporting my efforts and taking part in this piece of my life.
As I said I will be open till December 31st so if there is a design you always wanted, then now is the time to purchase it.
Below are a few details about the next 2 months:
- I am offering Free shipping for all USA orders till we close our doors on Dec. 31st. Please enter EMTHANKS in the coupon code section of the cart.
- Our Christmas ordering deadline is December 9th for regular or rush orders.
- If you spend over $300 between now and December 31st you will get a free Anniversary Necklace with your choice of date. Just include the date you would like on it in the Special Instructions section upon check out.

Warmly,
Lisa
