Want to celebrate with a unique gift and an instant family heirloom?  Check out these items to get your creative juices flowing.  At Etched Earth Designs, we can tailor many products to fit your specific needs. 

WEDDING:

Two lives join as one . . . Consider a wedding gift that will be treasured for a lifetime, and beyond.  Our Wooden Plaques lend a natural sophistication to a wedding photograph, while your choice of wording finishes out the perfect gift. Perhaps the lucky couple selects a plaque for each attendant in the wedding party to thank them for sharing in a most sacred day.  Imagine an etching of the bride and her attendants, the groom and his men, the bride and her father, the wedding venue . . . the possibilities are endless.  Or, perhaps a ceramic handmade Covered Jar or Memory Lamp is more to your liking.  Our products are individually made on a potter's wheel at Ben Owen Pottery, our sister company. The photograph you provide will be permanently etched in the surface of the ceramic jar along with your message.  The lid and optional Charm Medallions can be etched as well.  Heartfelt letters from well-wishers fit snugly into the jar to be read again and again through the years to come.  If you choose the Memory Lamp, it may be etched just as the Covered Jar, but instead of letters inside, the couple will light the wick to create an ambient memory of their wedding day.  For a lifetime and for generations the flame can be rekindled to remember a lasting love.

ANNIVERSARY:

Imagine your parents’ reaction when you present them with a Wooden Plaque, Memory Lamp, or Covered Jar made just for them.  The Etched Earth Designs CELEBRATIONS COLLECTION is all about creating an instant family heirloom.  A special cut of wood (yours, or ours) can be etched with a photograph, names, wedding date, children's names, etc.  Perhaps a favorite verse or phrase will make a perfect tribute to celebrate a life of shared love.  The possibilities are as endless as your imagination.  Or, consider a lidded handmade ceramic Covered Jar, or oil-burning Memory Lamp with your parents' photograph and message etched on one side.  (Etching is also available on the lid and on charm medallions that hang gracefully from the rim.)  Then, if you choose the jar, each child or relative can write a personal tribute, the notes collected, scrolled, and stored inside the covered jar.  The memory of this special occasion will become more highly treasured each time they open the jar and read the notes of love and appreciation.  No matter which gift you choose from the CELEBRATIONS COLLECTION, your gift will be an instant heirloom, sure to be passed down for generations.

GRADUATION:

Your favorite student is graduating!  This joyous occasion deserves a gift that will be cherished for a lifetime!  A Special Plaque from the Etched Earth Designs CELEBRATIONS COLLECTION will make the perfect gift.  Imagine the message and photograph of your graduate etched permanently on wood.  Or, design a handmade ceramic Covered Jar with a photograph and message for the graduate that holds your hand-written letter of congratulations and encouragement tucked inside.

CELEBRATION OF A NEWBORN:

A covered jar, handmade in NC by Ben Owen Pottery, will be permanently etched with the message and image you desire.  Then, you and your family/friends can each write a letter sharing memories and wishes for the recipients.  Simply scroll the letters, tie with thin ribbon and store them inside the jar.  Your honored ones are sure to cherish the gift and the messages forever.
