In August I opened an Etsy shop called Sun Kissed Shells. I had been making items for my cousin (who is also a beach lover) and have been getting feed back from her. First I made her a letter as part of her Christmas gift. When I went out to NY in May she told me all of her friends at UNC Wilmington kept asking where she got it, and told them I got it and would ask me. This is when I told her I made it, everyone was blown away and said I need to start selling them.
For her b-day I made her a jewelry box that matched the letter and has a sand dollar and starfish on top. I again got the same reaction as I did with the letter, they couldn't believe I made it.
The pictures are a little hard to see since I photographed them at the beach :)
After that I just ran with it and kept coming up with things that fit in the set, like a picture frame:
Next came hair accessories:
I also made a really cute starfish headband that I have not posted on the shop yet.
A few months ago we got a letter from the HOA saying that they can't see our house numbers and we are going to get fined if it doesn't get fixed (I am not sure why with their monthly checks they decided after a year this was a problem but w/e I played there game....and won). We took off the old numbers and got a decorative piece of wood to paint and this is what I came up with:
Lastly I have been looking for ceramic personalized pet treat jars, but just couldn't find any that weren't SCREAMING "I am a pet jar" I wanted it to fit into the house. Solution: make your own:
I also have a matching cat jar that is a little smaller.
So that is a quick overview of my Etsy shop. I have a lot of fun doing it. My idea behind my Etsy shop: if you can't find it....make it.
