Bracelets with a story™ The Seward Bracelets Inspiration: We were lucky enough to live in Seward for about 4 years, and for a while we owned a B&B in Seward that looked straight at Mt. Marathon. Why would they call a mountain Marathon? Because it’s a literal race course! The Mt. Marathon Race is believed to be one of the oldest foot races in America. There’s been a few year...

A Bracelet with a Story to Tell™: Barred Owl Bracelet Inspiration: The Barred Owl is a large bird. They range from 16 to 25 inches long, and their wingspan is 50 to 60 inches. I’m 60” tall. Their head is round, but they have no ear tufts like our little friend the Great Horned Owl. Their face is off white with a darker trim around it.

A Bracelet with a Story to Tell™ Talkeetna is a stop not to be missed by Alaskans and tourists alike. About 115 miles north of Anchorage, up the Glenn, and then The Parks (do y'all see how The Parks keeps popping up?) Talkeetna is artful, folksy, and full of fun! I picture Talkeetna as the Mat-Su Borough's Homer (there's another one)! <img alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0020/9390/8051/files/TalkeetnaNagleysStore_08fd7851-248c-4cc8-bfb7-8fc60136bfaf_48...

A Bracelet with a Story to Tell™: Bohemian Waxwing Bracelet Inspiration: Alaska has some beautiful mountain ash trees with their red berries and pretty shape. Because they’re also pretty small, as far as a tree goes, you can also see in the tree very well. That comes in handy because the Bohemian Waxwings love to feast on their berries all winter long, and I love to watch them. I always thought they were Cedar Waxwings, but when...

A Bracelet with a Story to Tell™: Violet-Green Swallow Bracelet Inspiration: The Violet-Green Swallow nests from Alaska to central Mexico. That’s quite a bit of area to cover! They typically nest in tree cavities and in birdhouses. However, they may also nest in rock crevices of cliffs. All About Birds had an interesting statistic. “Violet-green Swallows have been recorded flying at 28 miles per hour, a pretty respectable speed considering that the Peregrine Falcon, the fastest bird of pr...

A Bracelet with a Story to Tell™ Alaska Dandelion Bracelet Inspiration: Dandelions grow all over Alaska. I love their little happy yellow flowers followed by their dainty white whisps in the wind. In fact, I love dandelions so much, we call our property the Dandelion Farm! According to gvsu.edu, distinguishing characteristics of the Alaska Dandelion, “Many yellow flowers growing in a single head at the tip of a fleshy stalk.

A Bracelet with a Story to Tell™ Alaskan Summer Solstice Bracelet Inspiration: Alaskans love summer solstice. We have daylight 24 hours a day in the north, and farther down south our light dims to twilight for a couple of hours before the sun pops back up above the horizon. Alaskans celebrate with festivals, parties, the infamous Midnight Baseball Game in Fairbanks, and even the Slam’n Salm’n Derby at Ship Creek in Anchorage. There’s something for everyone!

A Bracelet with a Story to Tell™: Tufted Puffin Bracelet Inspiration: Tufted Puffins are distinguishable from a Horned Puffin by their white faces and gold tufts of hair, hence the name Tufted Puffin. A Horned Puffin, according to All About Birds, has "horns," which are small fleshy spikes that extend above the eyes of breeding adults. Tufted Puffins are found along the coast and coastal islands of Alaska. You can best see them on wildlife cruises heading out of Seward, Valdez, and Kodiak. ...

A Bracelet with a Story to Tell™: American Bald Eagle Bracelet Inspiration: The Symbol of America - the American Bald Eagle - was chosen by our forefathers to represent the United States but has been a symbol for native peoples much longer. Bald eagles are massive birds with bodies between 28 and 40 inches, a wing span of 5' 11" up to 7' 7" and weighing between 6.6 and 13.9 pounds. The female eagle is significantly larger than the male.
