Information

      Some memories are too special to ever pack away.

I created Bella’s Memory Time Capsule as a way to hold onto all the little pieces of her life that became priceless with time. The first collar she wore every day as a puppy, her favorite toys, photos, paw prints, and those tiny reminders of the adventures we shared.

The milestone tokens are meant to capture the moments that make up her story. The day she came home, her first walk, vet visit, first trick, birthdays, silly accomplishments, the ordinary days, and the countless times she simply made life better with a spot to document the dates. In addition, the personalized ornament can be sized to stay on the collar before becoming part of the keepsake box someday.

Our pets are only with us for part of our lives, but to them, we are their whole life. This project is about celebrating that life while they are here and creating a place for those memories when all we have left are the things they touched and the love they left behind.

Because someday, a worn collar won't just be a collar, and a tiny wooden token won't just mark a date. They will be pieces of a story you would give anything to live one more time for one more day, for one more moment.

This file consists of a 3mm box, a larger 6mm box and an svg file for you to use in whatever program you need.
