In my family there is the tale of Annie MacGillivray and Cian the Selkie which goes back over 300 years. Jilted by a lover and disconsolate, Annie walked into the sea as the tide was going out with the intent of ending her life. As she was nearing death, something saved her and pushed her toward shore. Arriving on the beach, Annie’s eyes lifted to behold the most beautiful man she had ever seen. They became lovers andAnnie bore him a son. However, she soon learned the truth of the Selkie legends. He could not linger on shore with her for more than a year and a day. Not wanting to leave her, he gifted her with a strange orange candle, telling her to burn it in the window at midnight when she could no longer stand the pain of separation. That original candle was eventually replaced with another and another until Annie and Cian had 13 children. On the night Annie died, the Selkie candle was burning in the window and that same candle was preserved for over three centuries. Near midnight, when the winds are high, they whisper that you can see a candle faintly flickering in the window of Annie’s auld cottage and the seals still come to that spot and sing their songs.

Please, let's get this clear once and for all. I suffered a massive malignant brain tumor and brain bleed on Friday June 18th. Emergency surgery was done to save my life. My brain was traumatized and I still have more surgery and a long road ahead of me. Please do not put me in the hateful position of having to tell you that no, I can't make you 'just one more' of something because you didn't manage to buy it in the last eleven years that Black Horse Design has been open.
Also no, no designs or copyrights will be sold for reproduction purposes and anyone taking advantage of the current circumstances to perpetuate copyright infringements will be prosecuted.
All prices on remaining inventory have been reduced as part of a closeout opportunity and this is the last time these jewelry items will ever be available. If you want a piece of jewelry, you currently have two choices. You can stay in touch with Marjory at bhd.east@gmail.com or phone her at 484-480-5854 and wait as patiently as it takes to receive the order. Or, you can cancel the order and receive a refund. I have nothing left to give and I no longer have the strength or ability to deal with people only worrying about when they might receive a piece of jewelry. My sole focus right now has to be to recover so that I can be present for both myself and my family. Please find it in yourselves to extend me some courtesy in these things and allow me the time and space necessary to heal. All things eventually end and it is past time for Black Horse Design.
Also, be aware that because of Marjory's job and home commitments, orders will probably take six or more weeks for finishing and shipping. All order buttons for remaining inventory will be permanently removed after November 15, 2010 to give Marjory a chance to actually enjoy Christmas with her family this year.
My thanks to everyone for your words of comfort and support after I was diagnosed with cancer in 2008, and for your continued support ~ Carmon Deyo
