OUR MISSION

"Its all about love". Our business started with jewelry & gift items that we loved. Then we listened to our customers to find or make what they'd love to have. We love to feel good. We love to look good.

We offer many options to experience our products. In addition to this website & our eBay store, we do shows and events in the Pacific Northwest area and we have a large space in an Antique Mall in Tacoma, WA. See below for more details.

STERLING SILVER CHARMS & CHARM BRACELETS

We are now offering a unique and fun collection of one-of-a-kind sterling silver charm bracelets in various themes, stories or affirmations. Many of these bracelets will include vintage charms and dangles. Those who know us from our shows have experienced our huge selection of sterling silver charms. Not everything that we have is shown on-line and the selection will be continually changing. If you've seen or ordered a charm in the past and don't see it, please email us at aldagifts@msn.com and we'll let you know if we still have it in stock or are able to order it.

DREAMBOXES

We offer you a wonderful selection of Dreamboxes carved out of New England maple with laser designs and inlayed stones or crystals. Each box comes with a legend which reads as follows: The Legend of the Dreambox (often attributed to Lemuria) suggests writing down your fondest dream, greatest desire, strongest wish on a small piece of paper, putting that paper in a Dreambox and placing it beside your bed. Every evening as you retire and every morning as you rise, hold your Dreambox and think on your dream, believing with all your heart that it is so. Legend has it, if done faithfully, your dream will come true.

NATIVE AMERICAN JEWELRY

We continue to offer a great selection of sterling silver Native American jewelry made primarily by Dine' (Navajo) and Zuni Pueblo artisans. We also occasionally have jewelry from Salish, Tlinglit, Apache, Hopi and Eskimo artists. We also have dead pawn and estate jewelry, pottery and rugs. The larger items can usually be found at the South Tacoma Antique & Collectible Mall (see below for details).

AFFIRMATION JEWELRY

Our customers are realizing the power of having virtues and life goals near them every day. We carry finger rings and affirmation pendants so that we can be reminded of our goals even during hectic days.

MEN'S JEWELRY

We are popular at the VA Hospitals because of our huge selection of jewelry for men. This includes rings, watches, bracelets, bolo ties, money clips and vintage tie pins, tie bars and cuff links.

HARVEY CANES

Harvey canes are stylish, strong and affordable. Available only at our hospital shows, we will continue to expand our line for both men and women.

VINTAGE & COLLECTIBLES

We offer many vintage and collectible items at our booth at South Tacoma Antiques and Collectibles located in Lakewood, WA, just south of Tacoma. Located near 84th and South Tacoma Way, this antique mall is open from 10am - 5:30pm everyday! Ask for booth #219. For more specific directions to the antique mall, call them at 253-584-0500.
