Always At Home Wax Seal

An antique purple paste seal to mimic amethyst depicting a snail with overarching motto ‘Always At Home’

Pretty facet back to catch and reflect the light

Why we love it

There’s a very good reason why this motif is a perennial favourite amongst our mischief of Magpies

A snail, well that’s unusual and whimsical and surprisingly charming

But the real kicker here is the motto ‘Always At Home’. Of course Emma does not need to explain that a snail is always at home by virtue of its little shellington, that much is evident

But how this notion applies to you in your world is key. This seal is talisman and testament to being a peace with oneself, being comfortable your own skin. You can go anywhere and do anything because you’ve got your own back and there’s a metaphorical shell on it. When you are at ease with yourself you can be anywhere and it doesn’t matter because you fit in and feel right at home

Amen to that we say!

Flown away home.
