Product Overview

This stretch bracelet features 10 lady bugs (3/8" long) separated by silver/gray round beads.  It also includes a gold finish square cross and a Miraculous Medal.  

Included in the package is The Legend of the Ladybug.

The legend of the ladybug comes from Europe during the Middle Ages, when swarms of insects attacked the crops, threatening Eurpope with starvation.  Caholic farmers asked the Virgin Mary, Our Lady, to save them from this insect plague.  In answer to their prayers, a cloud of small, black-spotted, red insects arrived, devoured the pests, and saved the crops.  The grateful farmers named them "Our Lady's Bugs," which became "Ladybugs".  The red wings represent the Virgin Mary's red cloak and the 14 black spots were thought to represent her seven joys and seven sorrows.

This child's size bracelet measures 2.755" in diameter and stretches to approximately 4.25".

Lisa’s Catholic Treasures

For half a century, I’ve collected Catholic-themed wood carvings, figurines and nativities. I began selling them to family and friends via open houses 15 years ago and added an online side to the business eight years back. Now, I’ve gone far beyond figurines and nativities and I have hundreds  of different items available for sale.

Online Catholic Store

Our online store is just the place to shop for gifts or items for your own home.  We have the basics:  saints, angels and Holy Family figurines, rosaries, crucifixes, and jewelry.  You will also find items related to the sacraments - Baptism, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, as well as Advent, Christmas and Easter.

We also carry religious books from board books, storybooks, young readers, adults and bibles for all ages.  Bibles include storybook and graphic novels for young people, those designed for First Holy Communion, middle school age, high school age, and adults.  You will find New American, New Catholic, NRSV-Catholic Edition and Spanish Bibles.

There is a variety of toys available on the website as well.  We carry a large selection of Shining Light Dolls and jigsaw puzzles with a scattering of plush, saints, activity sets and more.

No matter what type of Catholic treasure you’re looking for, you’re likely to find it right here on this website.

My Background

My interest in Catholic figurines and carvings can be traced back to my teenage years when my parents brought back a woodcarving of the Madonna and Child from their trip to Europe to give to my grandparents. I searched for that same style of carving for years, but eventually received the original when my father died. But the quest has guided me and led me to start this business of providing Catholic treasures to family, friends, and new friends.

My husband and I are lifelong Catholics from the Midwest, who met at a church in Colorado. We’re still active in our local parish community more than four decades later. My husband, three grown children and their families have all helped with the business.
