Handcrafted Baby Name Necklaces Vs Machine Stamped Necklaces

!±8± Handcrafted Baby Name Necklaces Vs Machine Stamped Necklaces

There is a mystique about artisans; specially gifted people who are able to communicate beauty, tenderness, values, love, trust, and compassion through their hands and into the precious metals, gems, wood, raw material with which they work. Handcrafted Baby name necklaces share that special quality of drawing upon the depth of the hearts of the maker, the giver, and the wearer. My art teacher used to tell me he could not judge someone else's message, but he could share the inspiration and guide the techniques used.

Artisan vs Machine

Handcrafted Baby Name jewelry allows you to guide the artisan to produce the message that you want to share, whereas with machines that will do what you say, they do not have any heart and inspiration to draw on to add to the depth of your feelings and add their own connectedness. Machines do great jobs; we as a society rely on them for cars, juice, milk, houses, and all the basics in our life. However, once we start relying on them to create a loving message, maybe we better start looking at what we are plugged into.

Handcrafted Baby Name Necklaces

These necklaces are made for gifts and talismans of love and affection for either the new baby in your family, the entire family membership, or even special occasions celebrated. Usually made in either silver or gold to allow the engraving of names and dates, these necklaces can be handed down from generation to generation as valuable family keepsakes. A popular trend is to add birth month crystals or gems as colorful and unique accents. Because that is another of the virtues of handcrafted, artisan workmanship; just as you are unique and special, there is no one else like you, so is each piece of jewelry that is created.

Triple Tiny Charms Necklace in Silver

Handcrafted baby name necklaces can be big or small, luxurious or simple, elegant or adorable. The Mom's Name Charm Necklace is a lovely sterling silver charm that is as small as a dime and attached to a sterling silver chain made by an artist with a name. Holly, who puts all her love and spirit into the creation of the jewelry, textures each charm by a hammering process that gives a subtle rippling effect. Then, she engraves the name, word, and or dates that you have given her onto the face and reverse of the charm in her own elegant script, attaches the birth month Swarovski Crystal that you chose, and secures it to the chain. She does this as many times as names, charms, and crystals that you desire.

All Gold Name Charm Necklaces

For the mother who loves gold, and radiates the warmth and beauty of the sun, handcrafted baby name necklaces in gold are the perfect choice. The same artisan, Holly, will create for you as beautiful a charm necklace in gold as she did in silver, and as unique. Each touch of the hammer and each curve of the letter is accomplished with your message in mind. The gift of the handcrafted baby name necklaces is in the spirit of creation as much as the necklace itself.

Prams and Pushchairs - A Brief History

!±8± Prams and Pushchairs - A Brief History

One of the first recorded prams was created by a man named William Kent, right back in 1733. It was designed for the Duke of Devonshire and his design became popular with very rich families in countries across Europe. Kent himself is actually remembered more for his garden architecture than his pram though. This early style was like a miniature horse drawn carriage as opposed to the hand pushed versions we are familiar with today, the intention being for a dog or goat to do the leg work of pulling it along.

The pram developed during the 19th century with the most important design change being the addition of handles at the back, enabling parents to push the pram themselves - this took the pram from being something of an amusement for the child to a much more practical device that could be use by parents and their servants. Early prams were constructed from wicker and the child would sit upright, but from the middle of the 19th century designs changed to allow baby to lie flat. In the 1860s and 70s owning a pram was fashionable for the wealthier families in European and North American society, and from the 1920s onward there use by all classes became common.

In the 1930s prams were made significantly safer with a reduction in wheel size, a deepening of the body and lowering of height. This made the carriages more stable and helped to prevent accidents - making it harder for baby to climb out and a shorter fall to the ground if this were to happen. The addition of footbrakes also became standard practice around this time. Designs were by now also changing from the old wicker style to plastic, rubber and chrome constructions.

The push chair, later to be contracted to create the word pushchair, was born in the early 20th century. Also known as a stroller, this newfangled contraption first appeared back in the 1920s but didn't become common until the middle of the century. A true breakthrough came in 1965 when a man named Owen Maclaren invented what is commonly called the umbrella stroller.

This ingenious design was the first real buggy style pushchair. It used a lightweight aluminum frame that collapsed down to a very compact size, making storage and transportation when not in use far easier. Pushchairs quickly overtook prams as the most popular form of baby transportation and have consistently maintained this position up to the present day.

Nowadays pushchairs are as popular as they ever were, and there are a wide variety of styles to choose from. There are three wheelers and four wheelers, some of which come with a car seat and are known as travel systems. Others are two in ones that can be converted in to prams so that baby can lie flat. Still others are known as three in ones and also allow you to detach the cot so that it can be carried separately. You can also buy buggies specially designed for off pavement use such as walks in the countryside. Not to mention the recent trend for jogging strollers that allow you to run with baby in tow.

If you have more than one child there are models called double buggies or tandem buggies that allow you to transport both children at the same time. There are even triple pushchairs if you have one more little cherub to contend with!

The humble pram has certainly come a long way since William Kent's early goat drawn design, and is pretty much a must have for all parents in this day and age.

One Mom's Review of the Baby Trend Stroller Line

!±8± One Mom's Review of the Baby Trend Stroller Line

If budget is among top concern in your stroller shopping experience, then the Baby Trend Stroller line has a few options for you to keep in mind. Baby Trend offers a variety of strollers to meet the varying need of parents and children, and even though Baby Trend might not be my favorite brand, they do have a few good options available and at a relatively low price point.

The top of my list is the Baby Trend Snap-N-Go stroller. This is a great starter stroller for getting baby around when they still fit an infant car seat. Unlike the Graco Snugride Infant car seat frame stroller, Baby Trends model can be used with a variety of different brand car seats, so you're not tied down to using just the Graco car seat. If you're going to be using a Graco Car seat, the snap n go will still work, but if you find you hate your Graco car seat for whatever reason (or it becomes damaged or expired), you still have the option of using your snap n go stroller with a future child (or children) even if you change car seats. The Baby Trend snap n go comes in a single as well as double if you're expecting twins. It's a nice lightweight, compact and easy to use stroller that allows you to see exactly what your stroller needs are prior to investing in your next stroller. Plus, by the time you're ready to make the next purchase, your baby will be old enough to sit up and you'll have more options to choose from.

I can also recommend the Sit-N-Stand Plus, Sit N Stand Double, or the newly named Tag-a-long strollers by baby trend. I've already written reviews on these strollers, so I'll simply say that toting more than one child along without spending too much money on a stroller is quite doable with one of these strollers.

I'll conclude by saying please stay away from the Sport Stroller or any other travel system for that matter. It's not an entirely awful stroller, but the travel system line of strollers are bulky and just all around not that great. I also do not recommend the Triple Stroller. You do not want to be pushing the weight of 3 children in an entry level stroller that's front to back and extremely difficult to maneuver. If you really want a travel system, look in to the Expedition Travel System stroller or the Graco Metrolite. The Metrolite folds fairly compact and is rather lightweight for a travel system stroller. It maneuvers pretty well too and has a huge basket underneath for storage. The Baby Trend jogging strollers are car seat compatible and offer large air filled tires and a lockable front swivel wheel to help you push and maneuver through a wider variety of places and terrain. What can I say; I like 3-wheel strollers and air-filled tires even if I'm not a huge fan of the Baby Trend Stroller line. Hopefully this honest review can help some folks out there trying to wade their way through the endless options of baby strollers.
