Owner's words
Kept longer than receipts
“Grandmother's set now matches the new beads and weighs exactly the same. The weight sheet sealed it.”
“Weekly bench photos made the month short. Initials under the clasp, as promised.”
“They caught a cracked claw my local bazaar shop had 'tightened'. That stone is still in.”
