We had these made for us over 10 years ago and misplaced them. We just found them and were we ever delighted. They were created from our peace token. Crocheted with linen and added Swarovski crystals, this lovely necklace is wonderful for summer.
The linen chain is just over 32 inches. We love it as a bracelet - wrapped about the wrist several times. Because it is crocheted, the chain has some give. It's also a great casual necklace that looks great with a bathing suit!
Our peace token has been made into a pendant/charm and measures 1 inch by 3/4 inch.

Art Postcard - The World Peace Prayer
From the Fellowship of Reconciliation, the World Peace Prayer was illustrated by Jody Richards in 1999, in the traditional art of the 1960s - representing joyfulness and spirit. The test is The World Peace Prayer:
Lead me from death to life, from falsehood to truth. Lead me from despair to hope from fear to trust. Lead me from hate to love, from war to peace. Let peace fill our hearts, our world, our universe.
For many years, people around the world have stopped in the middle of the day for this prayer - encircling the earth in a continuous chain of prayer.

Peace Sign Charm
The peace sign is also known as the victory sign. The hand gesture features the index and middle finger open in the shape of a V and all of the other fingers are closed (the thumb over the other two). It is believed that it originated with Winston Churchill.
Later, during the Viet Nam War, it was adopted as a protest in the United States against war and it has since come to represent an express of anti-war. Hippies were a prominent subculture at that time and they often said, "Peace" when showing the hand sign - so, it became known as the peace sign.
Today people use it to express goodwill and peace between friends, neighbors and others.
Our little charm measures 1-1/2 inch high by 3/8 inch wide if held upright, but the loop is on the side of the index finger, which changes the orientation a bit.
Two charms are shown for illustration.

Vintage Lenticular "Winky" World Peace Through Understanding
More Lenticulars
The colors of this wonderful little lenticular are certainly reminiscent of it's era - the 1960s! It was made to become part of a souvenir of the 1964-5 New York World's Fair. The advertisement features the Unisphere - the symbol of the fair that was made of steel - hence the logo USS from United States Steel.
It is in superb condition and is marked Vari-Vue on the back, further verifying its authenticity. Such items are also called flashers, flickers, wiggles, animation or winky pictures.
The front has an exciting effect as you'll see two pictures on each flicker, depending on the angle when you view it. The words
Peace Through Understanding
change to a picture of the World Unisphere with the more subtly displayed (in fact, we hardly noticed them at first) words
New York World's Fair 1964 - 1965
Even thought this little novelty was created in the 1960s, the message is just as timely today. This wonderful VariVue Motion Lenticular piece measures 1-1/4 inch wide by 1-1/8 inch high.

This book was and is a favorite of our grandson, Grayson's - in fact, he needed several copies: one for home, one for here and one for somewhere else! Indeed, it is a favorite of ours as well.
First told by Dr. Seuss way back in 1984, the story of the Butter Battle is still an appropriate cautionary tale - a good lesson for every day life as well as for countries throughout the world. The story is told by a Yook grandfather, explaining why the Zooks are so terrible:
It seems that,
It's high time that you knew of the terribly horrible thing that Zooks do. In every Zook house and every Zook town every Zook eats his bread with the butter side down!
The tale is told in cleverly cunning rhyme with that cadence we all love. And the young Yook child learns about hate and intolerance and reciprocal violence. Such a message is universal and for all time.

This is not the famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt on V-J Day (August 14, 1945) in New York City. But, it might well have been. Much of the pose is the same, only the background is different. It may have been taken by Eisenstaedt himself as one of a series, or it might have been a photo by a passer-by taking the same shot from a slightly different spot. In any case, we're not sure if the subtle difference is as important as the messages of the day: Victory, The War is Over, Peace.
There are so many reasons to use such a postcard - a save-the-date for a military wedding, a valentine, a message of peace, a memory of the year, the day, the generation.

Honored with the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, Mother Teresa has become an icon of selflessness in the modern world. She was born in 1910 as Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Macedonia. At 18 she joined the Sisters of Loreto and began her work in India. She was so distressed at the poverty and helplessness of the poor, that eventually she began her work among them, starting at first an open air school, and later, her own order, "The Missionaries of Charity." Members of her community are now continuing her work in over 40 countries.

Papel Picado is a traditional art form that is handmade by artisans from Mexico. The brightly colored tissue is hand cut using chisels and a top pattern as a guide. Tissue was actually developed in China and came to the New World through Europe. The Mexican people adopted the tissue for their paper cutting - they had been using hand made paper for the cuttings for generations. Now the thin tissue brings a whole new dimension to the art, allowing the breeze to create an even more festive mood with the lightweight paper!

Hand Watercolored Greeting Card - Some Kind of Mission (Rabbi Makito)
More Judaic Items
More Hanukah
Such an elegant card was created for the holidays, but might be used for any occasion. The inside presents "a short holiday message as told by Jane Stone":
"Some Kind of Mission" Last Saturday evening, Rabbi Yashita Makito beckoned to a group of carolers from the tiny balcony where she was standing, above the courtyard of her handbuilt brick synagogue in Ardglass, North Ireland. Rabbi Makito is well known throughout Ardglass, for her gentle spirit is like fresh snowflakes falling on bamboo shoot. The caroling villagers saw her and came at once into the courtyard - quietly gathering closer to await her holiday greeting. "Greeting" she said to them, leaning down over the veranda rail (she always spoke just barely above the whisper of young rabbit breath.) "Now remember, if Christmas gets too messy, eat it over the sink." Rabbi Makito (and her keen sensibility) nourishes my vision of peace on earth.
"Some Kind of Mission"
Last Saturday evening, Rabbi Yashita Makito beckoned to a group of carolers from the tiny balcony where she was standing, above the courtyard of her handbuilt brick synagogue in Ardglass, North Ireland.
Rabbi Makito is well known throughout Ardglass, for her gentle spirit is like fresh snowflakes falling on bamboo shoot.
The caroling villagers saw her and came at once into the courtyard - quietly gathering closer to await her holiday greeting.
"Greeting" she said to them, leaning down over the veranda rail (she always spoke just barely above the whisper of young rabbit breath.) "Now remember, if Christmas gets too messy, eat it over the sink."
Rabbi Makito (and her keen sensibility) nourishes my vision of peace on earth.

When given the choice, we don't know many who would choose the latter. This is not a statement against anyone, but rather for ART!

Smashed Penny featuring the Serenity Prayer
Smashed Penny - Lord's Prayer
Milagros, Talismans & Amulets
More Pocket Tokens
Coins like these have many names, but our favorite is smashed pennies, aka elongated pennies and pressed pennies. The first elongated penny was created for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus during 1892-1893. There are some who believe that there were such coins produced earlier, but the experts have singled this celebration as the beginning.
A smashed penny is is made by forcing a penny (or other coin) through two steel rollers. There is an engraving on one of the rollers (sometimes both sides). A crank (mechanical or electronic) forces the coin through the rollers and squeezes it with extreme pressure. This smashes the coin from round to ...you guessed it...elongated. The pressure pushes the engraving into the penny at the same time it is smashing it.
We've been collecting these since we were children, and now our grandchildren collect them, too. Made from shiny pre-1983 pennies, there is a higher copper content than if created with today's pennies. The prayer reads:
God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.
Because they are smashed in the process of impressing the prayer, they are super thin, yet sturdy. The new oval shape measures about 1-5/16 long and about 13/16 wide. This makes a wonderful keepsake for your wallet or pocket. And, it's a lovely little token to give a friend.

Yin-Yang Button Pin
The Yin Yang is a well known Taoist symbol, representing the balance of opposites in the universe. Without opposites, there is chaos and confusion. When opposites are equally present, there is clam.
There are many traditions regarding the exact definition, however, the philosophical vision without words, is most common - the design of the symbol itself implies calm.
Some traditions see one side as soft, the other hard - even opposites exist here. As some say the yin is soft and others say it is the yang. It has come to represent so many opposites, it almost does not matter which is which.
since nothing in nature is purely one way or purely the other, the symbol includes a small black spot in the white swirl, and a white spot in the black swirl. Yin-Yang is thought by the Taoists to be upset when humans intervene in nature and disrupt the balance.
Our pinback button measures about 1 inch in diameter.
