Our new project, Sailors Valentine, is in full swing just in time for summer! It's hard not to love summer on the East Coast where the rugged, coastal landscape and cool breezes make you want to get out and explore and embrace a life grounded in the natural world. After nearly 25 years Sandra was inspired to return to jewelry making to celebrate everything she loved about the history of seafaring and natural beauty of the New England coast. Every piece in the collection is hand-wrought in recycled brass to carry memories of summer's past while dreaming of adventures to come. Please visit our new site and explore this meaningful collection.

For nearly a year, we've been working on a new collection of commemorative objects in honor of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. We wanted to create a collection of hand-wrought pewter housewares inspired by the understated and elegant utilitarian objects of colonial America that we love, and the democratic ideals we all share. Our inspiration was initially drawn from historic objects from the time of the American Revolution like the No Stamp Act Teapot, which was made in Britain for American homes, as many in Britain were sympathetic to the arbitrary and unfair system of tariffs. These 18th century teapots were simple and elegant with beautiful typography, but most of all we loved the idea of an object with inspiring messaging that could promote engaging conversation when gathering with family and friends.

We've engraved these colonial inspired pieces with phrases ranging from revolutionary war battles, Thomas Jefferson, contemporary popular culture, and even Schoolhouse Rock, all which feel as pertinent today as they must have 250 years ago as they do now. Huzzah!

After the winter we've had, we are so excited to celebrate the arrival of spring. We're eagerly anticipating produce from our garden, color returning to the landscape, and the return of baby animals whether on the farm or hopping around the yard. Our new Easter Ornaments including a carrot and patterned eggs for decorating deciduous branches are designed to honor the beauty and renewal of the season. They're perfect little gifts for celebrating the advent of this beautiful, hopeful time of year, and a reminder of all that you love about spring, even when you're indoors.
