Shells from the Coast mistaking, I cherished them for All... Emily Dickinson 

{HISTORY}

Made by the ocean and hand-decorated by an artist in Seattle, Washington, these natural oyster shells combine a colorful garden bouquet with seaside splendor that celebrates time and festivity. 

Designed to create eye-catching displays for your table centerpieces, place settings, and party souvenirs, each shell is 100% unique in style, making them one-of-a-kind art pieces that delight the day long after your celebratory soiree comes to a close. 

Growing just one inch per year, it takes a long time for an oyster shell to grow into something beautiful. As centuries-old symbols of resiliance, transformation, and inner beauty, their shells are a natural fit to commemorate special milestones in life, love, and dinner parties. 

Rocky and raw on the exterior, the interior of these artistically made shells captures the beauty of art via illustration and natural formation, representing the importance of time and intention upon any endeavor worth undertaking. Whether that’s simply you in the kitchen mastering a new recipe or a group of friends and family members gathered around a table to celebrate a milestone, oyster shells are a symbolic pairing for life’s most significant achievements.

To help create unique tablescapes, this set of eight shells features a small hole drilled through the top of each shell to make them easy to hang like ornaments or wrap with ribbon for display on napkin rings, package adornment, or bridal bouquet charms.  

String them through jute rope and make a colorful garland, wire them into a wreath for your front door, or attach then with ribbon to he handle of a picnic basket to mark memories and moments of a good time had in the land of sea and sand.

As a creative spirit and a lover of bold color and natural materials, our artist in Seattle is also an enthusiastic cook, party planner, home entertainer, and decorator. She understands completely the lure of natural design pieces that can inspire both a dinner party and a pretty tablescape. Whether you are hosting your garden club for lunch, planning the seaside wedding of your dreams, or celebrating a milestone event, these oyster shells help carry the theme of your special day.

Although each shell is unique, this set features the same floral pattern in a light and airy rococo color palette containing shades of plum, mulberry, lavender, celadon, Tiffany blue, dove grey, and lime. Each shell contains gold detailing around the rim, a glossy finish coat that reflects light, and hole for hanging. 

More shells are coming to the shop soon, so keep your eyes peeled for new favorites. Our Seattle artist also welcomes custom orders to fit your needs, whether it be a specific color palette, shell type, subject theme, or quantity. Please send us a message - we are always happy to help.
