Had a couple of weeks off markets, so I’ve been busy making 😊
Started my Christmas collection—driftwood and sea glass trees 🎄 Each one unique.
A touch of oil brings out all those beautiful greens, with tiny pops of colour.
They’ll be packed away soon, ready for the Christmas markets!

I had a lovely day beachcombing in Moville, County Donegal, with the sun shining warmly over the shore. I found two beautifully worn pieces of driftwood, lots of green and white sea glass, and several pieces of pottery — perfect for making angels, trees, and flower pots.

After the cozy post-Christmas slowdown, I’m excited for the March markets—reconnecting with crafting friends, meeting new customers, and sharing some new pieces ✨

I found a beautifully weathered piece of driftwood while beachcombing. Though part was damaged, I salvaged sections and cut three squares, preserving its natural character. I created these flower bowls on the driftwood squares using sea pottery and glass—both hand-tumbled for rich colour and naturally weathered sea glass—blending textures with coastal charm.

Excited for my first market of 2026 this weekend at Dromore Artisan Market! 🛍️
I’ll be there 10am – 3pm — pop by, say hello, and support local makers.
Fingers crossed for good weather! 🤞

I’ve been busy lately using up my tiny seaglass and weathered pottery pieces 🌊
Making rustic little hearts for Valentine’s Day (and all year round) ❤️ along with shamrocks and sweet green angels for St. Patrick’s Day ☘️

Love giving these small, sea-worn treasures a new life ✨
