My Message In a Bottle

❤️ I’ll be at the old Barclays Bank in Manningtree tomorrow, and I’m bringing along my new red heart frame. It’s made from little treasures I’ve collected — tiny shells, pottery pieces, sea‑worn plastics and other finds that all come together to make something really special. Pop in if you’re nearby, I’d love to see you!

One of the little tools that comes with me on every beach walk.
Handy for cutting away old rope and fishing line tangled in the sand 🌊

And that’s all my craft fairs done for this year ✨
Thank you so much to everyone who has supported my small business and followed along on my journey — it truly means the world to me.

I’ll be spending the next few months (hopefully!) finding new treasures and dreaming up what’s next.

Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year 🤍🎄

Can’t believe it’s been 4 years since my very first craft fair! I’ve grown so much as a maker and met the most amazing people. Here’s to many more❤️

I’ve created a new seagull piece using my usual seaglass and shells — but this time it’s perched on a reused cork from Shotley Vineyard, kindly donated by the lovely owners. It fits perfectly with my ethos of giving materials a second life.

You can now buy these pictures at Shotley Vineyard, where you can also enjoy tea, coffee and cake.
They’re open Friday–Sunday, 10am–2pm.

🕊️🍾 Shotley Vineyard — pop in and have a look!
