My jewellery

When my son started Pre-school, he, like many other kids was not very fond of going to school. To make things worse, this was the first time he was staying without either me or my husband. School days were a struggle with equal parts of frustration and heart wrenching cries. But his teacher was so loving and caring that over a few days her presence in the school helped my son overcome his initial fear and reluctance to be away from us. I cannot thank her enough, and so decided to make a set with my own hands.
