Erin (ELM) Harris | Bolo Locket (“Bolocket”) | Saturday, February 5, 2022 | 8:00 am until 5:30 pm

$250.00

Imagine the lone cowgirl as she rides her trusty horse through dusty trails, a photo of those she loves best tucked inside her bolo locket.

Lockets by their very nature are captivating.  We’re drawn to the beauty on the outside and tantalized by the secrets held within.

What you choose to tuck inside- memories in the form of a photo, dried flowers, a lock of hair or fur- are a clue to what you hold dear.  When you open your locket to someone, you are inviting them in.  You’re quite literally opening a small door.  It’s a very intimate and vulnerable gesture- allowing a glimpse into your heart.
