Happy Mother’s Day

Posted on May 8, 2017 //

Paula and her Mom, circa 1995

Life doesn’t come with a manual, it comes with a mother!

We, at Jewels That Dance, honor all you mothers, you supermoms, you stepmoms, you mothers of community and of course, Mother Earth.

Here’s just a little background about the day…

During the ancient annual Greek spring festival the Greeks honored Rhea, the mother of many deities of Greek mythology. The Romans celebrated a spring festival called Hilaria dedicated to Cybele, a mother goddess. Celebrations honoring the Mother permeate our worldwide collective narrative. In the United States a precursor to Mother’s Day came from abolitionist and suffragette Julia Ward Howe who wrote a “Mother’s Day Proclamation” in 1870 as a call to action that asked mothers to unite in promoting world peace. Mother’s Day was officially adopted as a holiday in this country in 1914 when Woodrow Wilson signed a measure officially establishing the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.

Enjoy Your Day!

Paula Dawkins Fine Jewelry

Hi, I’m Paula Dawkins. Thanks so much for visiting Jewels That Dance and for all your support over the past 36 years.  After a wonderful run in downtown Asheville, Carol and I decided it was time to close Jewels That Dance.  After making this decision, I realized I wasn’t quite ready to stop doing what I so love: making jewelry!  I’ve decided to stay put in my studio and open a custom design and fine jewelry repair shop.  Pete, our master jeweler, is joining me and we invite you to visit Paula Dawkins Fine Jewelry.  We hope to see you soon.
