The magpie is the curious, whimsical little mascot that makes its appearance here and there in my jewelry website, but this cute bird is also the protagonist of a very emotional story....
Sam Bloom fell into a deep depression after a fall from a roof terrace during a family holiday left her paralysed from the chest down. But help was to come from an unexpected source: a magpie chick which had fallen from its nest. When the family took in the bird, it brought joy back to their home and allowed Sam to make a new start. Read the entire story of Sam's family and the magpie here.
