One of my favorite projects is bringing someone else’s memories to life. ❤️

A customer recently mailed us a collection of sea glass, shells, and other little treasures she gathered during a special trip. She wanted meaningful gifts made for her closest friends—each ornament using the very pieces they had collected together.

The result? Three one-of-a-kind keepsakes, each carrying memories that could never be replaced.

It’s a reminder that your beach finds don’t have to stay tucked away in a jar. Whether it’s sea glass, shells, coral (where permitted), driftwood, or other special treasures from your travels, we can work with your collection to create a personalized piece you’ll actually enjoy displaying or gifting.

If you’ve been saving those “I’ll do something with these someday” treasures, we’d love to help turn them into something truly special.

Because sometimes the most meaningful art isn’t made from our collection… it’s made from yours. 🌊💙

Custom memory pieces are always welcome. Just send us a message, and we’ll be happy to talk about your ideas.

We can’t decide… 🐦💚 Are you team Shorebirds or Parrots?

Both are handcrafted from genuine Caribbean sea glass, but each has its own personality. The Shorebirds bring a peaceful coastal charm, while the Parrots add a bold splash of tropical color.

We’d love to know—which one would you choose for your home? Vote in the comments: 🐦 Shorebirds or 🦜 Parrots!

✨ A little milestone worth celebrating…

One of our Pinterest pins just passed 100,000 impressions!

When we started sharing our creations, we simply hoped they would inspire people who love the sea as much as we do. Seeing one little sea glass succulent reach so many people is both exciting and humbling.

Every like, save, click, comment, and order helps a small handmade business like ours continue doing what we love—collecting genuine Caribbean sea glass and turning it into something meaningful.

Thank you for following along on this journey. We have so many new ideas coming, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Here’s to the next 100,000. 🌊💚

If you know Nico and me, you know we never say no to a good dirty martini… 🍸💚

And of course, I olive 🫒 that little French guy. ❤️

So it only seemed fitting that our newest collection would be inspired by olive-themed sayings, genuine olive-colored sea glass, and a little bit of fun.

The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. Today, as we’re launching this collection, Nico’s oldest son Olivier—who everyone simply calls Olive—is celebrating his birthday. We couldn’t have planned that if we tried!

We hope these pieces bring a smile, whether they’re a gift for your favorite martini-loving friend, your special someone, or simply someone you olive.

Which one is your favorite? 🍸🫒💚

Meet the newest addition to our Ocean Curios™ Collection—a handcrafted Sea Glass Dragonfly inspired by the treasures the ocean leaves behind

This special dragonfly is handcrafted from authentic Caribbean sea glass, each piece carefully chosen to let nature create the color palette. Resting on a small piece of driftwood, it’s a gentle reminder that the most beautiful things are often shaped by time and the sea.

Coffee… check.
Tiny beach… check.
Real beach… sadly, not today.

I’m definitely missing island life and wondering what my next creation will be. Sometimes inspiration arrives with the tide… and sometimes it arrives with a customer asking for something special.

Morning Tide 🌊

Sometimes the most beautiful things begin with a second chance.

This one-of-a-kind coastal suncatcher started with a vintage crocheted doily… but it’s not your grandma’s doily anymore.

Over 50 pieces of genuine Caribbean sea glass were individually hand-drilled and tied by hand, transforming a treasured heirloom into a piece that comes alive when morning sunlight shines through it. Accented with premium cotton cord and natural shells, it captures the colors and tranquility of the sea.

I love taking forgotten treasures and giving them a completely new story.

What do you think… would you hang this in front of a sunny window or on a favorite wall? 💙

Be still my little 🦋

This one-of-a-kind butterfly was handcrafted using genuine Caribbean sea glass we collected while snorkeling the waters of St. Martin. Every piece of collectible ses glass was carefully chosen for its rare color, shape, and place, creating a design that feels both peaceful and full of life.

For some, a butterfly is simply a beautiful reminder of nature. For others, it carries a much deeper meaning—a symbol of hope, transformation, cherished memories, or someone forever close to the heart.

Whatever it means to you, I hope it brings a little beauty and peace wherever it finds a home.
