Shellboxes

I am pleased to announce the latest “Lettered Cottage” creation- the Shellbox.


These "works of heart" are created by my Mom , Jude, and this is how she describes them-

Shellboxes are available in three finishes. Honey Maple, White & Distressed Black.


Frame Corners


Each Shellbox measures 15.5”W x 15.5”H x 2” D.

My Mom spends several fulfilling hours creating each one-of-a-kind Shellbox, which encapsulate her passion for art, and her love of the sea. This timeless art form bonds a part of the artist, with a part of the world, for eternity. The back of each box is numbered, and hand-signed by Jude.

TESTIMONIALS:

Hi, Jude,
I wanted to tell you how much I LOVE the shellbox. It came today, and all of the shells are perfectly in place. It reminds me of my mother. We lived in Bermuda for a number of years, and she used to collect shells. I have no idea what happened to her collection, but your work brought those memories back for me so clearly. Thank you.I’m not sure where I’m going to hang it yet, but I’ve always heard that when you see something you love, buy it and worry about where it goes later!

Cheers,
Reneé

Dear Jude,


Here is my daughter with the shellbox. We both love it! It is perfect for her room (she loves the sea). It was beautifully packaged too. I am honored to be your first online customer.

  1. These shell boxes are wonderful! I may have to plan a whole room around them! (correction...I may have to get YOU to plan a whole room around one of these! My decorating skills would never do these justice!) Obviously, talent runs in this family!

  7. Do you have a shop on Etsy.com? I couldn't find one and it would be the perfect place for your stuff. I bet it would sell like hotcakes! Your eye for design is gorgeous btw. Just found your blog today and I've read almost all of it!

  8. What a fabulous idea! I love the idea of recognising each shell's individuality, that so rarely happens. At first when i just saw this, I thought I had found the perfect present for my sister in law. But now I'm wondering if I'd be able to give it away..

    This comment seems to be about a year late, but still.
