It all started with a 50th anniversary and very thoughtful gift.....


50 years of marriage is something to commemorate, and after caring for 10 kids, 75 foster babies and 31 grandkids, Jim wanted to find a gift as unique as his time with his wife, Mary Jo. After searching endlessly for the perfect piece of jewelry, he could not find anything that spoke to the wonderful years they had shared together, so he designed a one of a kind necklace. This labor of love featured roman numerals to recognize the year they were married, diamonds to commemorate each child, and sapphires and rubies for each grandchild. 

He also created a special one-of-a-kind necklace for each of his ten daughters and daughters-in-law, celebrating each time a union began and wishing love, laughter and continued memories to each and every one. This sleek and subtle piece is unique, and reminds us of the love of family and the special moments we share.

When his daughters wore these necklaces, people were always asking where they found such an interesting piece. Because we wanted to spread the love, we started Winona Street Design. Our intention to spread love and light expanded further with the addition of our custom, hand poured, small batch "WISH" candles and candle kits that help clients send special messages ----whether they be for good thoughts, support, love, or laughs. 

Whether its a special holiday, an exciting graduation, an anniversary, a birthday, the birth of a new baby, or simply a date you cherish, Winona Street Design can help you tell your story. 

Since after all...it's not just a moment, it's a memory for life.
