In December 2024, I ran into Jamie Wood, owner of The Raven's House at a holiday vendor fair (Rebekah and I'd come out to support Cindy at her first solo event).
If you recall, I met Jamie in October 2024 when I bought my "Stingy Jack" necklace from her.
I admired one of her handmade bracelets called "Red and Rose," which Jamie then said she felt inspired to make it after reading "Bryony."
In fact, after she finished "Bryony," she messaged me and said she "loved Henry a lot" and then added:
He seemed the most sincere in his intent. I was drawn how he chose to be the "dumpy" lit teacher in the "real" world. As a young girl, he would be the type of Vampire I would have been drawn to if I lived in the book.
Well, I have super skinny wrists, so Jamie offered to make a smaller version of "Red and Rose" for me. I also admired a bracelet that reminded me of a lake, but that one is no longer available.
Jamie then showed me her winter/snowflake design and asked if I'd like that one. I did (it felt like a marrying of Simons Woods with Lake Munson to me), so Jamie made a smaller one in that design, too.
Well, 2025 was off the charts for my family and me, challenge-wise. So I only just recently was able to pick up those bracelets. And they are lovely!
Jamie and I are now (quite unintentionally) "three for three."
Because Jamie also bought "Visage" and "Before The Blood: Henry Matthews" over this past year.
