This quarter, I wanted to reflect on the idea of Femininity and Holiness.
First looking at what Mary can teach us about this, but also looking to many
great female Saints and the wisdom they can share.
As daughters of God, we have a special and unique role to play in the world.
We only become the women that God wants us to be when we embrace our femininity in a way that allows our souls to “proclaim the greatness of the Lord.”
I hope you enjoy these feminine items this quarter, inspired by Mary and female Saints.

 

Marian Consecration Chain + Print by Mourning Dove Co

Christine created these Consecration chains to serve as symbols and reminders of the Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary by St. Louis de Montfort. You do not need to be consecrated to wear this beautiful Marian chain bracelet, however we have included a beautiful Marian print, also created by Christine, with an explanation and prayer of consecration if you choose!

St. Madeleine Sophie Barat Pillow by Meyer Market Designs

When we began working with Bernadette on this pillow, we wanted to find a quote that would fit in a prayer corner, on a living room couch, in an office, or on a dining room chair. We ended up choosing “Be humble, be simple, bring joy to others,” by St. Madeleine Sophie Barat, and we hope this message brightens your home wherever you choose to display it.

Marian and Saint Washi Tape by Peony & June

We are confident that you are going to love these as much as we do. Roberta from Peony + June worked with us to create three custom washi tape designs featuring Mary and many great female Saints. These women have left a legacy of TRUST in the Lord, OBEDIENCE, FAITH, and DOCILITY to the Holy Spirit. It seems fitting that we have them available to attach a little note of gratitude, or a card to affirm your love for someone.

Saintly Scribbles mini note cards by Sweet Oak Gallery

Share little notes of love, encouragement, sympathy, and affirmation with these Saintly Scribbles mini note cards, created through a collaboration with Lauren at Sweet Oak Gallery. Affirmation is such a beautiful way to love someone. When we approached Lauren about creating the cards, she offered the idea of using stained glass and we thought that was perfect. Stained glass is most beautiful when the sun is brightly shining. We have learned from the Saints, and women who have gone before us, that we too are most beautiful when the SON is shining through us. We also included a St. Catherine of Siena Fine Tip Marker to compliment the Saintly Scribbles mini note cards. Our prayer is that the thoughtful and heartfelt notes you share do indeed, “set the world ablaze.”
