I'll be making a bracelet or two for this.

Why Naomi Rose?

My name is actually Rosemarie. So why do I call my work Naomi Rose?
Genesis 35:16-18 tells the story of the birth of Benjamin, son of Jacob, and Rachel.     Rachel knew she was dying, and with her last breath she called her son Ben-Omi, which means 'son of my trouble'. I mean, I know the woman was dying, but to hang a name like that on your son! She was blaming him for her death.
Jacob, on the other hand, named him Benjamin, which means 'son of my right hand'. Your right hand  is where you put the thing, you most want to protect. Jacob knew that our name is so important to who we become, and how we see ourselves and the world around us. There really is power of life and death in the tongue!
Wow! I am so happy my Heavenly Father has the last word on my name!

My name Rosemarie, means a bitter briar. I am reminded of the story of Ruth and Naomi coming into Bethlehem. Naomi was coming back after losing everything but one faithful, loving daughter in law. The people gathered around saying 'Is this Naomi?' She told them to call her Mara, and not Naomi because she was bitter, where she had once been pleasant.
          While praying about what to call my jewelry business, I was reminded about, the story of Ruth and Naomi. Naomi Rose was what we came up with. Pleasant flower, is much better than bitter briar, don't ya think?
