That Strain Again Wax Seal
An antique, deep green paste Tassie seal featuring imagery of a braying donkey with over arching motto ‘That Strain Again’
Why we love it
Unrivalled whimsy in this beautiful deep green seal
We see a donkey mid bray together with the overarching motto ‘That Strain Again’
But what’s it all about Emma?
Well the wearer will be self-aware, self-deprecating and self-accepting – the holy trinity perhaps?
It’s an acknowledgment of one’s personal style, especially in communication, and a giggle about that. Knowing your strengths, perhaps being direct and ensuring you make yourself heard when you need to whilst also accepting of the potential pitfalls of the very same.
These things are not binary, being vocal and honest can be both a strength and a weakness and sometimes the best path is to accept that, love yourself all the more for it and throw your own ass-head back and laugh about it
