Our long-awaited jewelry from Lisa Leonard has arrived!
Many of you are already fans of Lisa's creativity (and some celebrities you know are too). If you haven't met her yet we're thrilled to introduce you!
Lisa lives in California with her sweet family of boys (husband-Steve, David-7, Matty-5).
We (Stephanie and Holley) first met Lisa at the Blissdom conference in Nashville earlier this year. Her brilliant smile and kindness instantly captured our hearts and friendship.
(Can't you see why?)
So over the last few months as we've been praying and dreaming about (in)courage we knew Lisa had to be part of it.
We finally asked, holding our breaths because we weren't the only ones interested (her products will be featured in InStyle magazine this fall, just to give you some idea).
And she said YES!
Not only that, she said she would do some exclusive pieces just for you.
Now after much hard work on Lisa's part the jewelry arrived yesterday. You can click here to watch Stephanie and I being crazy excited (and um, a bit cheesy–it happens sometimes) as we open the box.
Here's what was inside…
I (Holley) am wearing the (in)courage one right now. Even though I'm not supposed to…since we have we have limited quantities and we're saving them for you. Check them out in the Lisa Leonard collection.
Which one is your favorite?

They are all just darling! I love that clear rock thing that I’m sure has a real name, that is on the “by grace alone” one!
I like the “by grace alone” one best, too. I have been impressed with the blog posts here since adding the RSS feed on my email. They are touching and really well-written.
“take hope to heart” is my fav! It reminds me of Isaiah 40:31 that “Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Beautiful! “by grace alone” is my favorite and it’s going on my Christmas wish list!
Love, love, love “by grace alone”…
I can’t pick just one….I never take off my customized LL necklace, so I think all my next LL purchases will be gifts. =)
I am so impressed with Lisa’s jewelry! I’m a watercolor artist, but I have no idea how to create jewelry like she does. Beautiful!
My favorite is “by grace alone”.
“take hope to heart” is my fav! But they are all beautiful!
I don’t think I can choose just one – they’re all incredible!!
I love the (In)Courage one! Just the word courage lifts me up because I know where it comes form-the Lord.
Oh I love the “take hope to heart” one! So beautiful! She does great work ;)
Love all three!! This is a wonderful blog! Thank you!
I love love love the by grace alone pendant.
i have one of her necklaces now and wear it every day! It is one of my most treasured gifts.
I love the “by grace alone!” AMEN!
I love “By Grace Alone”.
I’m a “By Grace Alone” fan, too, but love all three.
They are beautiful pieces!!! Congrats on this new addition to this great first week of (in)courage. The site and posts have been great!
They are all beautiful but if I had to pick one then it would be ‘Take Hope to Heart’.
I’d like to say what a wonderful group of ladies you all are and that I love the posts that arrive via feed everyday. They bring friendship, joy, hope and inspiration.
Blessings to you all.
My favorite is “By Grace Alone.”
You all are doing an awesome job here. Love it!
smooches,

My absolute favorite is “By Grace Alone”. Such a simple statement that says so much more!
Take Hope to Heart is really special to me. My working title for my first book was “Hannah’s Heart,” changed by my publisher to “Hannah’s Hope”. At first I was confused by the change, but it was the beginning of a “theme” word in my life over the next three years or so, God showing over and over that He is the ultimate source of hope! (I like them all though, and the special (in)courage one is so great for this amazing movement!)
I think her jewelry is very pretty and I really appreciate her style. I am also enjoying this new website and community feel.
That said, I have a question about this post, as well as the video. As a Christian community is it right to hold “celebrities and movie stars” as our authority as to what is worthy?
While the video was fun to watch, I was very disappointed in hearing “no wonder movie stars wear them”.
Seems to me this is a false appeal to authority, such as, my car mechanic said my violin needed tuning.
I like grace alone. Simple. True.
I love Lisa and her family and am sad I’m not living in SLO anymore. I miss working with her hubby and seeing her kids as they come in the church to go to lunch. I’m glad to keep in touch through her blog and I, of course, love her jewelry, too. Wish I could buy it all up. So glad she’s expanding her collection. She IS very creative.
I love the “by grace alone” necklace. It very simply says it all.
By Grace Alone… but I gotta say, I love them all!!!
how fantastic to include lisa leonard in your (in)spriational pieces! i have worn my l.l. necklace almost every day for the past two years. i chose the word “open” and when i look in the mirror, it serves as a gentle reminder to me to open my mind and heart to ALL of the possibilities around me.
