Maybe a dozen or so. I buy olive wood Rosaries from the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America. $2.50 each, marked “Bethlehem.” Give them away as I ferret out the hidden Catholics around me.

That one looks a lot like the one I have- mine is more yellowed from age and use, though.

Good! Nothing worse than a brand new, “decorative” Rosary!
 
I still have the rosary I received as a first communion gift from waaaaaaay back in the eighties. I only have three others… a single decade that I keep next to a picture of Jesus, one with a Franciscan cross that hangs on my wall at my parents house, and a patriotic colored rosary which hangs on a picture of the U.S. Constitution at the same house. Other than that, I usually end up collecting Rosary pamphlets and devotional books. I have so many now, it’s not funny. 🙂

That has never worked for me. I have often called out to Jesus, God and even at one point my Guardian Angel during nightmares and it has not helped. It DOES help when I remember to call upon my Guardian Angel PRIOR to sleep but often I forget because I have a bad habit of heading to bed when I’m so tired I can barely keep my eyes open.
 
Quite a few because my mum keeps giving them to me, I however have never purchased one.

She did give me a huge wooden one which was our old priests’ Rosary when he was alive.

I just ordered one from there. I liked what I saw on your link.
I have quite a few Rosaries but my current favorite is the Peace Be With You rosary from Rugged Rosaries.
Gemstone Rosary in Peaceful Forest Colors | Strong Catholic Rosaries

I’ve always been drawn to sparkly faceted beaded rosaries with the AB finish but my fingers are semi numb due to an MS flare up about 13 or 14 years ago and now prefer comfort over sparkle.

10 regular rosaries
3 rosary rings (one in the truck, one by my bed, one in my desk)
And one that I made based on the Irish penal rosary that’s on my keys
 
Great! Using those fingers should help with the neuropathy. It has in my case, although mine was brought about by two different causes.
 
I guess I have about four but I haven’t counted. Two were gifts. One my sister brought me when she went to Roam and also a relic that I attached to the cross… My very first Rosary I placed in my sister-in-law’s casket who passed away at 33 leaving behind 7 small children. It was supposed to have Holy Water in the first 3 beads. I sent away for it when I was young.
 
It covers everything from tiny orders to huge boxes. Think of it as a donation to the the Franciscan Friars and it won’t seem so bad. I ordered like 10 of them and some other items, so it was all spread out.

Also just bought a Holy Land Rosary from a Palenstinian Catholic who tours parishes with olive wood hand crafts. 10mm beads so that my neuropathic fingers can actually feel them!

I have a question. Like I said, I ordered one of those rosaries for myself, and was glad they only cost $2.00
but the shipping was $7.50 “via flat rate”, for a total of $10.00. Why is that?

I mean it cost $2.50.

I received my rosary today. It’s a lot smaller than it looks in the picture, but I can use it anyway.
 
thanks Hope! it was fun to make (although I learned how not-so-smart I sound!)
 
That’s what I don’t like about ordering online. The pictures and or photos are often deceiving.

Yeah, it looks MUCH smaller online but I had it blessed Saturday and used it last night. It’s small beads aren’t great for my numb fingers.
