A-Family-Tradition Mary Frances Maker

A Family Tradition

Every year when it’s time to create our custom ornament samples, Mary Frances goes on the hunt for her favorite photo of her daughter. She looks for the photo that feels timestamped to each year. Photos of her picking up rocks, playing with her puppy/best friend Otis, walking down the street holding the hands of her neighbor.
How special and sentimental it is that each of these ornaments show more than just her daughter, but her travel experiences, milestones, personality, and friends. The silhouette might not be oh so clear to everyone, but to Mary Frances and her family, the photos are clear as day, allowing them to reminisce about her precious (& silly) moments. Each ornament becomes a cherished time capsule, preserving the memories of her daughter's childhood for years to come.
It started as a personal project, but as what typically happens over here at MFM, it was something Mary Frances wanted to share with everyone. Whether it's a beloved pet or special memory, this keepsake is surer to bring joy and smiles every time you hang it on the tree. Oh, and did we mention that they make the most sentimental and thoughtful gifts?
