In 2019, during our family vacation, our 7 year-old daughter complained of a stomach ache. At the local emergency room the ER doctor said: "you should go to the big kid’s hospital....now. I think your daughter has leukemia.”

   That was a horrible thing to hear.

   We packed our holiday spirit and presents and drove 2 hours back home and directly to a hospital we would not "leave" for 3 years. 

    My sweet daughter rang the cancer-free bell in 2022 and since then, she's been doing an amazing job at becoming herself before she was interrupted. 

   One day she brought me a gift for Christmas. It was a pair of ceramic earrings she'd made in her pottery class. They were minimalist, hunter green and perfect! She inspired our project using polymer clay to create our earrings. We decided to name it Olive Daze and our pieces are now available through our Etsy shop: artedaisy.etsy.com
