Along with the jewellery, a selection of keychain/bag charms are heading to . All the shells and a bonus pebble too!

A perfect gift, memento or souvenir, presented in a wee cotton bag (which is also surprisingly handy!!), to remember time in Stonehaven or just to gift a bit of the beach to someone who loves it!

Each one noted with my highly scientific knowledge of what each shell is…or at least my best guess! These ones aren’t too tricky, mainly limpets and dog whelks but the wee Venus shell appeared just as I was leaving the beach which was a nice surprise!

I’ve loved creating this wee collection, I hope you love them too! X

A bit about my love of limpets 💙 feel free to scroll on - it’s a bit niche!

The shell obsession has sub-obsessions and limpets is definitely one!

I now have six in the collections and know that I’m nowhere near stopping. Yes, I can tell them all apart and yes, I know which beach they are all from!

Limpets are pretty much on every beach and they are always in my pocket. I found two today which are teeny and will be tricky to make but I’m up for the challenge!

One of my recent Stonehaven ones is the biggest. The first pic was how I first saw this one - in the water inside up with these gorgeous iridescent blues shining. Turn it over and it was very dark, barnacles and gnarly - a total contrast. Cast in pewter the dark surface becomes shiny and textured and I love it!

It’s a whole limpet but my version has become a holey limpet. This was initially a mistake during the casting process but I kept it, it added a bit more character to the limpet, as well as making it a wee bit lighter to wear. I hadn’t made earrings of this one but already I’m thinking I will. Big statement dangles - why not? I also have with the wee holey ones, so something for everyone!

It’s never ‘just a limpet’. Just because something is common doesn’t mean it can’t be special xx

Introducing my latest shell collection, from Stonehaven for . It was a very limpety beach (which I love) so have ended up with three in the collection, as well as two dog whelks and a wee striped Venus. It was the most amazing pebbly beach (also LOVE!) so a special Stonehaven stone has also been make into tactile jewellery too. These will be getting posted off to the shop at the end of the week so if you are in the area next week, pop in! I’ll post a few more pics before then too x

I really do have the best and smartest customers!

I was chatting to a lovely lady at the weekend who bought a seagull from me last year. I asked her which one, either the one which drops as a pendant (more vertical gull) or the one which threads through the wings (a more horizontal gull). She told me it was the latter and that sometimes she just threads it through one loop on the back so has the best of both worlds 🤯🤯

Why had I never thought of that? Also, it looks so fab with the chain going behind the wing, I might even consider having the vertical gull hang that way!!!

I’d love to say I think of these things and all my designs are carefully considered in all the different possible ways …… but it just doesn’t always go that way with me. Happy mistakes, discoveries and design ideas generally just happen as I go (I’ve been making these gulls for more than 5years so it’s never too late!) 🖤

So thank you and please keep chatting and sharing your thoughts, I love it!!

Before my recent obsession with casting shells from around Scotland, there was the OG shell in my silver collection - ‘the world is your oyster’ shell. 🦪

The difference with this shell is that it isn’t an accurate copy of a shell I found, rather it’s my interpretation of an oyster with the wee pearl inside. A rough, textured outside with a shiny smooth inner, all hidden when worn, it closes shut to protect the treasure inside.

Choose your colour of pearl - shown are white, peach, grey and peacock and I also have a soft rose pink in stock. I love them all but the grey has definitely been the most popular choice recently and I’m not surprised - it is stunning.

Always a favourite at markets and a piece I’m very proud of 🤍🤍

Well, that was quite a day! ☀️ 🌨️ Some good Scottish May weather - sunshine and torrential hail 😆. So many lovely people came by and as ever, always great to catch up with the other amazing makers too. Let’s see what tomorrow brings. If you are in the Inverness area, pop in and say hello x

My pebbles collection was designed to be adaptable and although I had some plans, it (like most things!) has been made up as I go 🤍

Nothing demonstrates the variety and versatility more than the smallest pebble pendant - this one has a wee moonstone, alongside the pebble cuff.

Small and understated or bold and impactful. I love them both and they do go well together!

Beach treasure come in all shapes, sizes and colours. I love patterned white glass and this piece has a lovely star burst pattern. Prefer colour? I’ve got that covered too!

Big shells and wee shells from Skye this week.

The chequered carpet shell is a new one for me and has the best markings which have come out so well. Although I’ve made a few limpets, they are all so individual and this was such a cute wee one with a good texture, I couldn’t resist.

I said this would be the end of shells for now (I think once these are on the website, I’ll be around 20 🫣) but I’m just about to head over Cromarty/Black Isle way so that’s probably about to change!
