Limoges Boxes and Breast Cancer Awareness

National Breat Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM), which is in October, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2010.  NBCAM serves the Breast Cancer community through public service units, medical professionals, and government groups, to educate and provide solutions for prevention and treatment of this cancer.

Many companies and organizations have gone to great lengths to aid in the efforts of breast cancer awareness and research.   The efforts of various entities such as M&M candies, Everlast boxing gloves, and Estee Lauder cosmetics, to draw attention to this cause with "pink products", has had a great impact for breast cancer treatment, being the most common cancer in women worldwide.  It has certainly been proven that the breast cancer awareness movement has been incredibly beneficial for cancer patients and cancer care.

www.Limogesboxcollector.com carries Limoges boxes that are a wonderful gift for inspiring hope and courage to loved ones battling this disease. 

These rare Limoges boxes include a French porcelain pink ribbon pin you can wear

There are various avenues of "Giving the Gift of Hope", a great way to support this cause and demonstrate our care for those we know personally who need this message.  Limoges boxes like the one below open up to show inscripted words:  Hope, Courage, Strength, Love, and Faith.   This is a beautifully touching Limoges box, whether to have for ourselves or to give as a gift.

 

Fluttering Limoges Boxes

Butterflies are amongst the most beautiful insects and they have fascinated humans for centuries.  Many people love to study, watch for, and collect butterflies.  Their vibrant colors, different shapes, and ranges of sizes make for a very entertaining hobby, if not just an occasional diversion as they flitter by us in a wide variety of habitats.

A beautiful example of the gorgeous designs on a butterfly's wings, Limoges boxes artisans capture them exquisitely.

Any other insect, like a beetle or cockroach, would send chills up our spine if they were anywhere remotely near us.  But, we love butterflies because they appeal to us on a visceral and subconscious level.  They gracefully move about, looking glorious with their brightly colored wings, gracing us with their presence only for a short while before they move on to another flutter-worthy spot.
