I am looking forward to Spring: delicate blooms, pastel greens, blues and pinks. Is it any wonder that my newest shells reflect that?

I’ve been working on some special orders (may share some pictures later) but had time to make this “blessed” decoupage shell with blessing beads and a tassel.

This beautiful sea biscuit washed up on shore late this afternoon. Sea biscuits are fossils: 10,000 to 50,000 years old. A local beach community dredged offshore several years ago for a beach replenishment. In the process they dredged up a fossil bed and since then sea biscuits have been washing up in huge numbers. No matter how many I find, it’s always a treat to discover another.

I just finished this shell for a friend. She recently shared how much her mom loved to collect shells at the beach and the story of their last beach trip, overcoming her mom’s physical limitations to insure she could collect shells one last time. The pink butterfly is for her mom. The blue chinoiserie is for her and the scripture passage is for them both.

If you ever want a special shell, please message me!
