Keepsakes to hold your loved ones close - created from clothing, ashes, breast milk, hair & more.

✨ The Heart Behind Keepsakes by Julie
Hi, I’m Julie — a keepsake artist with a deep passion for creating pieces that bring comfort, connection, and healing.
Since 2015, I’ve been honoured to create meaningful keepsakes that help people hold on to what matters most. From memory bears crafted from a loved one’s clothing, to jewelry made with ashes, breast milk, hair, or more — each piece is thoughtfully handcrafted in my home studio in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada.
I know how precious your items are, and I promise to treat every piece of clothing and every inclusion you send with the utmost care and respect. Whether you're grieving a loss, celebrating a new life, or preserving a special chapter, my goal is always the same: to create something that feels personal, beautiful, and full of heart.
Thank you for trusting me with something so meaningful. 💛

Julie does such a phenomenal job with every piece she makes! She truly puts her heart into everything she makes. She makes sure every detail is perfect and communicates throughout the whole process. I have been blessed to have her make me 6 teddy bears, a ring for myself and a ring for my husband and a necklace for my nan that holds pieces of my 17 year old daughter through her ashes, hair and clothes. I am so grateful for each piece she makes and I cannot wait to have more done so our family can continue holding pieces of Brooklyn both in our hands and arms, as well as our hearts ♥️

I started researching for a local artist who could design a breastmilk jewelry piece so I was so excited when I found Julie! Her work speaks for itself - it is crafted with love, with attention to detail and made into a beautiful long lasting piece of jewelry. I now have a reminder everytime I look at my wrist of my beautiful rainbow boy and our breastfeeding journey together. Thank you Julie!

My 3.5 year old daughter passed and Julie had me in tears with her beautiful keepsakes (2 cuddle bears, 1 button bear, 5 heart ornaments) using my girl’s clothes. She answered all of my questions and asked many questions back to ensure it was exactly as I wanted. I had to ensure my cuddle bear wore her favourite “puppy pants” (nail polish stains and all). Julie is meticulous, caring, kind and went above and beyond all of my expectations!

One of my best friends told me about Julie and I have to say I am not disappointed . I lost my mother in February and I requested to have a cuddle bear made in her clothing . Julie was professional caring and kind . Her skill and talent is a gift that many people should cherish. Thank you for helping me keep a little piece of my mom around Julie !
