I recently found a bunch of dogwood-themed jewelry at antique shops and even in a bag of unwanted vintage goodies from my sweet friend.
The flowers are so iconic; either white or pink and four-petaled, so they're really easy to pick out.
My friend, as I thanked her for this amazing vintage Stuart Nye dogwood ring, told me to look up their symbolism.
It reminds me of my favorite verse "By His wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:5, written permanently on my hand so I'll never forget the scars in his that set me free:
A couple more vintage dogwoods for your enjoyment - these will be used in some glorious spring jewelry!

My new tattoo that encourages me every day.
