Place them  on all four corners of your cozy blankety island and the wind will lose that battle every time.That form/function brilliance was the inspiration for our delightful tablecloth weights.

                                 Shard Card Note Cards (pictures coming soon)

                                                           Every Card has a Shard 


So while collecting chunky wonderful shards of beach glass we always come across these teeny tiny little nuggety nuggets that we put aside for future use.  We love the little darlings as much as the chunky nuggets used for our super fun, totally stylin’ home accessories, and jewelry. We also love to design hand made, one-of-a-kind all occasion cards. We use watercolor paper and simple graphic imagery to create timeless keepsakes.  The simplicity of the  designs screams school days and  passing notes to bff’s. One day a teeny shard fell on a darling little card. The idea struck.  Tiny shards, darling cards....SHARD CARDS were born. They are perfect for when you want to send a big smile to your gal-pal, well wishes to your neighbor, or a sweet dreams to sweetie.  They are authentic, one-of-a-kind and beachy keen!

Authentic Upcycled Lake Erie Beach Glass Appetizer Set
Appetizer Spreader & Appetizer Fork

White or clear beach glass is such a pretty accompaniment to any other shard it’s paired with.  When it’s wonderfully distressed by years of sand and water it actually takes on characteristics of summer & romance the way fabrics like breezy gauze,crisp linen and sheer organza’s do.  We decided to capture those characteristics by creating really sweet, totally charming home accessories. Of which are the appetizer spreader and the appetizer fork.   The  beach glass hints at summer weddings, girls nite in and romantic beach strolls. They are just perfect for  eating snicky snacks while cozying up on a blanket on the beach, in early fall next to a tiny little bonfire with your sweet guy, a lovely favor for a fab function or as a thank you to your favorite client gift. What ever the weather, indoor or out,  business or  pleasure they are authentic, one-of-a-kind and beachy keen!
