Meaning of my name — Pearl and Desired Child

 Names ought to have a special meaning and for a reason.
But do most of us KNOW what its meaning is?
Pearl — bought in Oahu, Hawaii
A nice crystal conch with pearl and meaningful to me!
My name as written through 4th grade of elementary school: Marietje
Marietje is listed here as meaning: pearl; bitterness/sea; desired child
Mariet means: shapely clean
Mariette has the very same meaning as Marietje...
In Dutch Mariet, Marietje ←click on link
Hard to capture...
Also from Oahu, Hawaii came my Majorica black pearls in 15" length and earrings and ring, found at Neiman Marcus.
A 16" necklace would be too big for me.
Also from Oahu, Hawaii came home this little pineapple, the symbol of hospitality.
Having cooked numerous dinners for company, friends and family and several High Teas as a donation to the Rotary Club's fund raiser.
Did turn the velvet silk fabric around and used its backside...

Do you know your name's meaning?

  1. Tiene un bonito significado, el mío me lo pusieron porque era el nombre de mi abuela paterna.
    ¡Feliz año nuevo! Besos.

    1. Querida Antónia,
      Feliz año nuevo e tu nombre también tiene un buen significado:
      "Griego invaluable, floreciente, flor"
      Así que muy bien elegido por tus padres para nombrarte después de la abuela paterna.
      Abrazos,
      Mariette

  2. Those photos are gorgeous.

    Yes my name (Debrah) is Hebrew in origin for honey bee. Although my mom deviated from the original Deborah.

    1. Dearest Debby,
      Thank you, precious little gifts from Hawaii.
      But both Deborah and Debrah mean honey bee.
      Hugs,

  4. Your name has a special meaning, Mariette. I really like the pearl you brought back from Hawaii. Your Header is so pretty with the wine and chocolate and pink flowers. So lovely. I will have to look up the meaning of my name. I'm sure I have before, but forgot. ; )

    1. Dearest Sheri,
      Thank you and yes that tiny shell with pearl was precious for its meaning related to my name.
      Yes, the header is a festive one and those Mon Cheri chocolates were favorites for both of us!
      The Camellia Japonica Debutante blooms for months on end during winter, it is a perfect blossom.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  5. My name is inspired by the French word, Cherie, meaning "darling."

    Interesting. : )

  8. Hi Mariette. For the sesame cookies, I can't really give a time or temperature. We have a gas stove and I bake everything on 6 whatever that means. I put them on the bottom rack and let them get a little brown on the bottom and then move them to the top rack for a bit longer.

    I left a comment here yesterday but don't know if you got it. It seemed the internet was having problems and I had to copy and paste and publish several times.

    1. Dearest Tammy,
      Thank you for this explanation!
      Oh, Blogger is often so tricky... one never knows.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

    2. Seems the original comment didn't go through -- but the gist of it was that I really love the pineapple and that my name means "perfection" :)

    3. Dearest Tammy,
      Yes, Tammy means: perfect; palm tree, spices... A lovely meaning!
      The pineapple is a beautiful symbol.
      Hugs,

  9. I have always thought your name beautiful ... my name Helen Louise means 'light" / 'renowned warrior'
