A portion of the proceeds, from the sale of our rosaries,  will be donated to  "La Casa de los Niños," (Heart of Mercy House), a residential community of children and youth living with HIV/AIDS. La Casa was founded, and is lovingly operated by the Sisters of Mercy.

About Us

We are Roman Catholic and in gratitude for having been given the gift of the majesty and sanctity within the tradition of the Catholic Church.

I am a cradle Catholic and my husband is a convert from Judaism. As an artist and retired interior designer, I’ve taken my creativity to the mission of offering beautiful rosaries and praying they will bring joy and peace  to those who purchase them.  I design each rosary and my husband strings them. We are a team in this mission.

Our site has been up for nearly five years. You can read letters from some of our partners in prayer who have purchased our rosaries at our page of testimonies.

We are in New England where four seasons are definite and   have been blessed that, in this mission, we have met fellow Catholics from all over the world.


Of course, we would like you to purchase our rosaries, chaplets and jewelry. Surely  this is our goal but it’s  not our only objective. We would like  your visit to lift you spiritually. As you journey from one page to another,  you’ll be seeing sacred art by Renaissance, Baroque and other masters. You’ll be reading quotes from Sacred Scripture, the Catechism and our saints.  Each rosary is created with a particular focus and we attempt to give you information and links related to those subjects.

We are ever updating, adding prayers and links to some of the wonderfully  informative Catholic sites we’ve found along the way. Stay awhile and please come back often.

Be it a rosary or chaplet, each item is presented on it’s own page with a narrative of how and why it came to be.  New rosaries are  added  often and when one is created it will be introduced on our Newly Added Rosaries page.

Last but not least….Why Gardenias4Lina? (Gardenias for Lina) It’s really a simple answer.  Throughout our lives, we’ve been blessed many times over. One of my greatest blessings was the mother and aunt who raised me.  They were sisters who were soul mates, so to speak, with a bond only God could have created. My mother was Lina. My Aunt’s favorite flower was gardenias.  We’ve named this endeavor in honor of  them. Gardenias4Lina.
