Personal Heirloom Stories from Our Designer
As we find our own rhythm in this world, we realize that part of life's dance was taught to us by our ancestors.
Our Designer and Founder Jessica and her husband Patrick take time to reflect over their own family heirlooms. Allowing the power of generational wisdom to wash over them.
Thoughts from Jessica
as she soaks in her own family heirlooms...
"My mother Dawn's photos from the days where she had a dark room in her basement. Her gold chains from her more 80s style. Her birth certificate. Lapis beads from her Semester at Sea."
"A Jewish cookbook from my grandmother. My great grandfather Isaac's pocket watch and chain. Caviar spoons (my grandmother Lee is a fancy lady)."
"Lighting Shabbat candles is an heirloom ritual, passed down for generations in my family."
"Making homemade dumplings from my mother in law, Anna's recipe. There's a bright gingery fish and cilantro recipe, and a heartier meat recipe. In their family, the women gather together in the kitchen and prepare the dumplings for hours and it's such a sweet and joyful time. We eat the dumplings in a simple broth with vinegar sauce and bok choy and they are outstanding."
