My friend Kenzie asked me about this picture and if the bracelets meant something. I love any excuse to blog, so i thought i'd share in case any one else was wondering.Back in the day my family went to St. Croix for a swim team trip. While we were there we came across the St. Croix bracelets (like the ones in the picture). The bracelets are patented to the island and you can't get them anywhere else. Although there are some knock offs. If the "hook" part of the bracelet is pointed out towards your hand then it means that you're single and if it points in towards you it means you're taken.
All of the girls in our family got St. Croix bracelets on that trip. Since then all of the girls born into the family have been given St. Croix bracelets as their baby bracelets. It has become a Stringham Lady tradition.

Love it Kara! Thanks for sharing! They are darling! Yay for babies! Your little girl is so cute! Can you believe she's almost 2 months old?!
We need to take a bracelet photo at Thanksgiving or whenever Gracie Kate finally grows into hers!
So cute! What a fun family tradition! Thanks for telling us what it is about!
Hey Kara,
I am sure you don't know who I am, but I was friends with Ashby and Stacey when they were out at BYU and actually I flew back to VA and drove with them back to UT one summer several years ago....Anyways, how do you buy those bracelet's if they only place you can get them is St. Croix (or the knock-off)...is there a way you can have them shipped?
Thanks, what a unique and beautiful tradition!
