When I was younger, whenever I would think about the Treasures of the Sea, I would automatically think about Seashells, Pearls, Sea glass, Sand Dollars, etc.
As I'll soon be entering my (hopefully) wiser years by becoming a grandma next month... Now, when I think of Treasures of the Sea, my mind now goes to artful pieces of soft driftwood adorning our beaches nearby, stones of various colors polished to a super soft finish by the sea, the gentle waves rolling on my feet as I walk along the water line, holding my loving husband's hand. I feel so happy in my heart and soul, and that feeling is my most precious Treasure of the Sea.

The blue sky, the sun, or cooling clouds, the birds singing, the whales and seals floating by...
every single thing is magical in an even deeper way than when I was a child.
This story is my inspiration for these earrings... precious little tumbled nuggets of color with shades of the water, sand and sky (in my handmade polymer clay beads), the driftwood (the rustic wood beads), the gentle waves of the ocean (in the copper wavy bead caps), held together on a pair of non-allergenic niobium ear wires:
The perfect way to carry the good vibes of the beach everywhere you go ... at 1 7/8" tall.
I prefer to wear shorter earrings, but I find it challenging sometimes to incorporate everything I want in a design, while keeping the overall size under 2 inches :)
I've made a couple of extra sets of these cute little beach inspired rustic shaped Polymer Clay Nugget Beads. You can find these earrings and my handmade beads in My Garden Of Love Etsy Shop HERE.
Thank you for stopping by! Have a fabulous day!
Cheers,
Nathalie

Hi Nathalie, thank you for this lovely post.
ReplyDeleteThat is exciting... becoming a grandma.
I love your post and the earrings. We are living next to the sea and I totally understand what you mean. Lovely little ear treasures!
Good morning Janine :) We're very excited about our little peanut arriving soon (our 'kids' chose not to find out the sex of the child until it's born). It's been a very challenging year health-wise for both my hubby and I, and the arrival of this little angel is going to be such a blessing... Thank you for taking the time to comment :) Cheers, Nat xoxo

DeleteAs a grandma (nannie here) to four, I know exactly how exciting this next stage of your life will be. And hopefully many days at the seaside with Peanut will follow x
ReplyDeleteHi Lindsay, you've got 4? You're so lucky! That's how many our kids want. We'll see how their first delivery goes (wink). I'm bursting at the seams. I can't wait :) Yes, many days at the seaside with Peanut (and grandpa too).
DeleteBeautiful earrings, I love the colors and shades of blue and green in the beads. Amazing that you make them yourself.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Mandy :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful post, Nathalie. I could visualize the sea and its flora and fauna...so beautiful. Your earthy, colorful earrings are lovely. And all my best wishes to you on your new life as grandma--there is very little that can come close to the delights of having a grandbaby! <3
