PET MEMORIAL STONE (5 stars)…read more Tara's work is amazing! I have a very special, one of a kind, beach stone that I found with a lot of meaning behind it. It was going to be used for my dog's memorial stone. Since this beach stone has a significant meaning behind it and is special to me, I wanted to go all out and have the engagement professionally done. Turnaround time is 7-10 days, communication is basically thru email (lots of back and forth, can take a few days to reply). The shop is not in La Jolla, it's in the deep cracks of Chula Vista surrounded by an industrial area of what appears to be auto body shops and towing yards. I was instructed to leave the beach stone near the stairs of the building and will say did not feel comfortable doing that as it was very valuable to me but assured me it was safe. I can't say it was "safe" but will say days later it was in Tara's possession. She sent me a mock up of the design of what I asked for before doing the engravement and I approved. About a week later it was ready for me to be picked up. It was packaged with a bow and when I saw it - I was blown away how beautiful and clean it looked. Everything I visioned. BEACH STONE My fur.child, bestfriend, and (legal) emotional support companion passed away. I knew I wanted to contribute to the pet memorial that's in the middle of Fiesta Island Dog Park (yes, it's somewhere in the middle of the dog park). And yes, Fiesta Island Dog Park is my dog's favorite place. Most have gray beach stones with their dog's names painted on it. I was going to just that... BUT while walking the beach thinking about my dog, I found rare stone that was the color of my dog's fur and felt she wanted me to find this stone for the purpose it will be used for. It was a gift from her. With that said... I had to go all out and that I did! On my dog's social media... so many comments about it! It was PERFECT. My vision came to fruition. I highly recommend Tara for stone etching, laser engaging - she does a great job.

Over the last two years, I've had the pleasure of attending a few local events where Signs of Our Lives was present, and they always manage to bring something special to the occasion. From custom dog tags to etched wine glasses, their ability to create unique and personalized items for each event is truly impressive. This year, I unfortunately couldn't make it to Scoops, but got the biggest dose of FOMO when I saw Signs of our Lives had a pop-up in the VIP booth featuring engraved ice cream spoons. It was such a cute and creative touch that made me consider getting a VIP ticket for next year. I absolutely love seeing Alex at the events I attend, and I'm looking forward to their next activation.

In the end, she delivered show-stopping final products that we just loved. Alexis was super organized, stayed on top of everything, and collaborated with us all along the way. Her designs truly helped to elevate our curated design aesthetic for our wedding, and we could not have been happier with the results. I would definitely recommend Alex for any calligraphy, lettering or mural project!

I had two redwood burl pieces that my husband and I acquired on our honeymoon almost 4 decades…read morebefore in Northern California. One was a redwood burl slab we acquired at a roadside vendor with "birdseye" grain. The other was a massive chunk of redwood burl driftwood we unearthed on the beach with only a small end of it initially visible in the sand. We dug and dug and wrapped a roap around it to drag it closer to our truck. Both pieces sat for years being moved in and out of our garage and around the driveway while we were then busy working and having our 2 kids. Sadly, the next delay was the result of a 17-year battle against a rare paralyzing disease that struck my sweet husband enveloping our lives. This fall, five years after my husband's passing, I discovered Don and his team at Old Fashioned Lumber. Don listened to my story and I knew he understood how important these rough pieces meant to my heart and soul. I could also sense how excited he was to work with my wood and create something wonderful, so I left the pieces with him to design my table. The pictures tell it all. It's an absolutely stunning piece of art. I'm incredibly happy and know my husband would be super jazzed!!
