Once upon a time…this name came to be. These personalized art prints celebrate the singular stories of the names’ remarkable journey through history, featuring a detailed account of the names’ origin, meaning and how they managed to survive the test of time. The descriptive words at the bottom of the name’s print reflect the spirit and energy of its “Destiny Number” according to numerology.
Whether this name is a newborn, teen, or grown-up, a family member, friend, teacher, co-worker or any special someone, each story is an inspirational reminder of him or her core identity: the name, that one wonderful word by which he or she is known.
As a gift or keepsake to honor and inspire the person in your life, Name Stories art print makes for smart, engaging and distinctive décor. Combining typography with artistic expression, the original content is a result of years of rigorous research and carefully curated pieces of history. Every story they tell, they tell with love.
Framed and unframed artwork is made to order in Name Stories California and Oregon facilities. Art prints are professionally printed on heavyweight fine art paper with archival inks for vibrant long-lasting color, clear text and crisp imagery.
Each solid wood frame is handcrafted and available in smooth matte black and soft matte white painted finishes.

Your story starts with your name, and your name belongs to you in more ways than you know. We have made it our mission @ namestories to spread the meaning and magic contained in that one curious word by which you are known: your name.
Your name, even when shared by scores of others, is your own private one-word poem. It contains multitudes, and it cannot be defined by its meaning alone, but by the spirit it gains through its historic evolution.
Name Stories mine and explore the essence of names through rigorous research that traces their linguistic origins, meanings, context and relevancy through time. Part science, part art, their process is intense, scholarly, and driven by their insatiable passion for the curious words human beings call themselves. After all, every name is full of life. Telling its story keeps it alive, and helps them learn not just about each other, but ourselves.
Name Stories products celebrate the essence of the identities by showcasing namely narratives in a beautiful, artistic rendering that’s worthy of being treasured for generations. Each represents years of study and countless travels through history as Name Stories trace names that span time and geography, from Judeo-Christian narratives in the Old and New Testaments, to the incredible survival of Celtic and Slavic names, to the spread of Germanic names and the historical context of names of Arabic and Sanskrit origins. The work has taught that nothing about a name is accidental. Their significance and survival through history is fascinating. When we pay close attention, we discover a story of beauty.

“A Girl Like Me” Gives a Voice to Females of all Ages
Being a girl in today’s world is much different than it was ten years ago – we see females in outer space, in the boardroom, and 2021 brings our first female Vice President. But there’s still a lot of work to do. Many girls feel stifled and afraid to voice their true feelings, but artist Sheila “She” Keene wants to change that with her “A Girl LikeMe…” collection.
She’s pieces show that females don’t need to live a “certain way” – that they can be whomever they want, and their gender doesn’t limit their aspirations. Through her fun cards, mugs, journals, prints and tees, as well as her original art pieces, She shows women and girls as breaking barriers and living dreams. With quotes like, “Not fragile like a flower, but fragilelike a bomb” and “I didn’t wake up today to be mediocre” females will be reminded to celebrate their own fierceness and strength.
The “A Girl Like Me…” brand has three categories:
· Girls – Items meant to inspire girls to be all that they can be. “Sunshine and Brains. . . Mixed with a little Hurricane”
· Teens – Reminders to teenage girls that they are unique and are able to change the world. “Princess? No, try Scientist”
· Ladies – A bit edgier than the other two categories, the art and sayings speak to women breaking barriers in the work force and pushing back against misogyny and sexism. “People will stare. . . Make it worth their while.”
She uses acrylics, paper, gelatos, charcoal, ink, textiles, embellishments, & other materials to create one-of-a-kind pieces. Each piece has a slightly hidden date; the date represents a day in “herstory” that a woman performed a fantastical feat for females. Find the date and see how it changed history!
Girls Cards – Empowering Greeting Cards to Celebrate all things FEMALE
Greeting Cards for girls inspire and empower. Can be used as birthday cards, graduation cards, Christmas or Holiday cards. Each card has a slightly “hidden” date somewhere on the print; the date represents a date in history that a woman performed a FANTASTICAL feat. Find the date!
I Am A Black Woman… What’s Your Superpower? 3 – Print
a girl like me… “I am a black woman… what’s your superpower?”
So… don’t you know a lady who spreads black-girl-magic wherever she roams? A girl or lady who always manages to get it done, with seemingly little effort, all while maintaining her composure, her patience, and her super-woman-badass-spirit. And, always looking FANTASTICAL while doing her thing. Being a female IS a superpower… being a black female is a superpower on steroids. Make sure every girl and woman knows that!
- This is a print of an original Mixed Media painting. Three sizes are available.
- Each painting has a slightly “hidden” date somewhere on the print; the date represents a date in history that a woman performed a FANTASTICAL feat!

PURA VIDA BRACELETS LAUNCHES NEW CUSTOMIZABLE JEWELRY COLLECTION
Pura Vida Bracelets, La Jolla-based jewelry and accessories brand with almost 2 million followers on Instagram, launched a line of new, engravable metal jewelry on January 21, 2020. The brand, widely beloved for its handcrafted string bracelets, is thrilled to introduce a completely new category to its community featuring customizable pieces, ideal for gifting. The launch marks the biggest product expansion since the debut of Pura Vida’s original metal jewelry pieces in 2016. Since launching the metal line, the brand has grown the collection to become 30% of its overall sales.This news comes seven months after Vera Bradley acquired a 75% majority stake in Pura Vida Bracelets for $130M; Pura Vida continues to operate independently.
The new collection consists of two ring styles, two bracelet styles, and one necklace style, which are available in gold, rose gold, and silver. The pieces can be engraved with fonts including Lucida Handwriting, Courier New, or the Pura Vida brand font, as well as with Greek letters. All items can also be engraved with signature Pura Vida graphics, including a pineapple, tree, heart, and waves.
“We’ve been discussing expanding our metal collection for some time now,” says Griffin Thall, CEO & Co-Founder of Pura Vida Bracelets. “Our original metal pieces were so well received – our wave ring is actually one of our best sellers! We’re always looking for new ways to provide our brand fans with items that we know they’ll love. We think our community will be thrilled with the option to customize their Pura Vida accessories, whether it be for a friend, family member, sorority sister, or coworker – the options are endless.”
Pura Vida Bracelets is a Costa Rica-born and Cali-bred lifestyle brand that sources ethically-produced handcrafted pieces from over 800 artisans worldwide. Inspired by Costa Rica’s “pura vida” philosophy, the brand’s simple, bright, and colorful pieces embody a lifestyle that encourages the appreciation of simple pleasures and living life to its fullest.
Pura Vida’s engravable collection is available on PuraVidaBracelets.com. Bracelets are $22, rings are $20 and necklaces are $30.
About Pura Vida Bracelets:
Pura Vida Bracelets was born when friends Griffin Thall and Paul Goodman crossed paths with two talented bracelet artisans, Jorge and Joaquin, while on a post-grad surf trip to Costa Rica in 2010. Jorge and Joaquin made colorful, handmade bracelets that seemed to capture the essence of the “pura vida” lifestyle, which means “pure life” in Spanish and is a philosophy that encourages the appreciation of life’s simple treasures.
In an effort to help the artisans and bring a piece of Costa Rica back stateside, Griffin and Paul bought 400 bracelets to sell at home in San Diego. They sold out in a matter of days and the rest is history. Today, over 800 artisans in Costa Rica, El Salvador, and India can depend on a steady income and positive working environments, thanks to the support of Pura Vida’s community.
Giving back has always a core value at Pura Vida. Since 2010, the brand has partnered with over 175 charities around the world as a part of their ongoing charity collection and has donated more than $1.9 million to environmental, health and humanitarian causes. The brand’s recent Australian Fire Relief bracelet sold out in under 24 hours and provided over $23K to the cause.
During the summer of 2019, Vera Bradley acquired a 75% majority stake in Pura Vida Bracelets for $130M.
Pura Vida has expanded its collection from bracelets to other jewelry items and accessories. Visit www.PuraVidaBracelets.com for more information or follow the brand at @puravidabrac on Twitter and @puravidabracelets on Instagram.
