Before leaving my hometown of Victoria for Edmonton, one of my best friends surprised me with this little necklace... Aside from being super cute, its probably one of the most sentimental pieces of jewelry that I own. The vial contains sand, several small feathers, and a scroll that reads "birds of a feather." So not only is this necklace a testament to our incredible friendship (we always flock together!), but a direct link to home as well... You see, the sand comes from a local beach, allowing me to carry a little piece of home with me wherever I go. Leave it to a true friend to come up with a gift as special as that...
