Luna's Light Keepsakes was born from heartbreak after unexpectedly losing my sweet rescue dog, Luna, following complications from her routine spay surgery. It was a nightmare to live through, and for a long time I didn’t know what to do with all the sadness I felt. In early 2025, I was diagnosed with PTSD from losing her in such a tragic and unfair way.  I still struggle with daily anxiety, especially around the health and well-being of my other rescue dogs, one of which struggles with multiple health issues (GoFundMe link here). Because of this, I started searching for safe places to put my grief and anxiety. My experience needed to be honored. The pain needed to be felt.

 

That's where these fairy houses come in.

​

I started building them a couple of years ago, but the true healing from making them came after Luna passed in November 2024. I made one to use as a little memorial area to have somewhere I could visit Luna's memory whenever I was missing her. I keep a little charm filled with her ashes right outside, and I can visit her anytime.

​

 She lives there now. She is safe, loved, and always remembered. 

​

Making it made me feel closer to our good moments together, and displaying it has been a beautiful way to honor her memory. After a friend of mine lost his dog, it clicked that I wanted to make these houses for people who’ve lost their loved ones. That way they always have a spot they can go to be with them, and I can continue to heal through my grief and honor Luna’s memory by making them. I hope this little piece of my heart can bring you some comfort in your grief.
