i'm going to boast a bit about our daughter...at just ten years old, she created the original artwork below using pencil, sharpie and prismacolor markers from which my husband and i had made into cards. she loves to create art. this will be her space from time to time where she'll devote her time, effort and share with you her artwork. part of the proceeds from the sale of this artwork will be donated to animal welfare and alzheimer's related associations. you can see more details and purchase these vividly detailed botanical cards at kuwatani.

beachcombing has to be one of the most relaxing and inspiring activities for me and my family. you really sink in to the sand and focus only on the treasures under the ripples of the water and beneath or sometimes on top of the dry layers of sand and rocks. everything you touch, smell, hear and see swirls together calming the senses...it really ought to be a part of our daily routine. if not, then the collections and interior below are thoughtful reminders of the beachcombing experience.  soon the trio of lavender filled sea pebbles (work in progress shown bottom left) inspired by our latest trek to the beach will be in the shop.

sink into the images below and enjoy whatever calms you.
