One-of-a-kind Holiday Gifts! Part 2 of 4

I love to recycle items into my artwork, and just like the little Carolina Wren on my logo, I am a scavenger at heart!

Attracted by the colorful shiny aluminum soda cans, I began incorporating them into my bird houses after helping my children with a recycling project at their elementary school. This birdhouse below is the only one I have left from last spring, but I hope to have many more by March, just in time for this spring!

Do you have a favorite drink you would like to see used on a birdhouse? Just let me know!

These unique & fun wine charms can be made in any color combination to represent a favorite team or College.  This set was created to represent Penn State's Colors.

Perfect for the sports lover or college alumni, stocking stuffer or grab bag gift! 

Just contact me with your colors and I will be happy to create them for you.

Sets can also be larger if needed

Holiday Parties: Greens, reds & golds create sets for Christmas. 

Blue, silver and white for Hanukkah!  Think how unique they would be at your holiday party. Or bring them as a hostess gift!

In love? How about these cute heart wine charms! Have them made in your wedding colors. Great Bridal shower gift, stocking stuffer. Possibilities are endless!

These can also be used on coffee cups to keep everyones cup identified. Perfect for the work place, household, or group get togethers such as bible studies, book clubs etc.

Do you know someone that works for a company that creates drinks in a can, or sells drinks labeled with their store logo such as Shoprite? I can create a unique set just for them or a co worker. I created this set below using the shoprite soda cans.

These are so much fun to make! The colors and patterns are endless! Pick a set from my Artfire Shop; http://www.tkdesigns.artfire.com/ ,

Heart With A Connection!

My 'Heart With a Connection Collection' began when I started collecting sea glass and seashells from several different countries around the world. I especially loved the stones and seaglass I received from Israel. The thought that these treasures had actually been sitting on the beaches of a country that is so rich in history, was amazing to me!

I paired them up with my wood heart boxes, and fell in love with the idea of having something that I could use as a little jewelry or keepsake box with a sea treasure from a place that my ancestors were from or I had vacationed at. This collection, and my 'Shore to Please Collection' of mosaic boxes, offers people a meaningful link to a country or place through the sea treasures found on their shores!


East Coast Shores USA!

'Heart with a Connection Collection'

Hand collected seashells from the New Jersey Shore are combined with a metal star to create a beautiful heart shaped box ---perfect to store a vacation memory, jewelry or give as a gift!

Israel Dot. Dot. Glass-

'Heart with a Connection Collection '

This rare textured piece of amber sea glass, was hand collected and sent to me from the shores of Israel! This wonderful sea treasure is combined with a pretty white sand dollar and a heart shaped metal tag that has the word love on it.

Irish Sundrops & Pink Polka Dots!
'Heart with a Connection Collection'

This beautiful wood box has a heart connection to Ireland. Hand collected and shipped to me from Kerry, these yellow Irish seashells have a bit of Irish folklore to them! The three Irish sundrops, white starfish and pink shell all come together as a beautiful reminder of those Irish sunsets!

Israel Rocks

'Heart with a Connection Collection'

This beautiful wood box has a heart connection to Israel. An interesting rock and two beautiful pieces of sea glass (one white and one amber honey colored) are wonderful sea treasures that were hand collected from the shores of Israel and sent to me to create this one of a kind box! A little starfish and two blue mussel shells (not from Israel) also add a bit of magic to this lovely box!
