Introducing my summer surprise --- the "BeachComber" nest

One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach.
           One can only collect a few--
                       and they are more beautiful if they are few.

beautiful shells,...

memories of your favorite 

 walks along the beach..

treasures found~

a sand dollar,

starfish, whelk shells...

 fragments of glass and bits of shell

preserved forever

in a tiny glass jar...

 the glimmer of sunlight

on shells,

newly kissed by the tides~

introducing

the latest in my 

Designer Nest series..

the

"BeachComber" nest

~~

as with all my Designer nests,

the charitable profits are donated 

to a most worthy cause...

~~

the charitable profits

from the sale of these nests

will be donated to our local chapter of

"Make a Wish Foundation" 

~

this charitable foundation grants

wishes to children with life-threatening illness.

remembrances...

sunlight, waves, 

the tinkle of shells in the surf...

this beautiful "BeachComber" nest

is designed to preserve your most beloved

beach memories.. 

while each nest is a unique creation,

they are all similar in design...

each nest contains a collection of

beach treasures...

whelk shell, tiny white shells, 

starfish, sand dollar,

and a tiny jar

 filled with glass and shells

~~

a beautiful beaded starfish

adorns

 every nest~

perhaps you have

favorite treasures from your walks

along the beach

that you may wish to add

 to these collections~

  tiny fish nets

embellished with treasures from the sea,

just a hint of glitter

to make it all

 sparkle~

 this beautiful nest

has been in creation since

this past winter--

as with all of the nests 

in my Designer series--

the endeavor is

 HUGE!! 

~~

my friend Mary is my

ever faithful assistant --

I could not do this without her help.

We have both worked long and late

to create this beautiful nest for you...

(plus- she lets me boss her around

and never, ever, complains!)

~~

Your nest will arrive

wrapped in beautiful tissue, 

 tied with a stunning, glittered

bird tag,

all created by my friend Sue.

~

from the minute you 

open the box...

you will be

"wowed"! 

there are 24

of these beautiful nests

listed now in my ETSY shop...

~

~ it was my own walks along the beach,

my collections

of treasures found along the shore...

that stirred my longing

to create this

beautiful nest for you...

xoxo,

Vicki
