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.  
Anne Morrow Lindbergh 


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
~
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,
