🇺🇸🐚 Introducing the Americana Collection

Inspired by coastal summers, timeless patriotism, and the beauty of handcrafted art, these newest creations are part of my Americana Collection for America’s 250th birthday celebration.

Each shell is thoughtfully transformed into a functional piece of coastal décor, perfect as a trinket dish, jewelry holder, or meaningful gift. Finished with hand-painted gold accents and layered with vintage-inspired Americana details, every piece is one of a kind.

From the shoreline to your home, these shells celebrate freedom, creativity, and the simple joys of summer.

❤️🤍💙 Handmade with love by The Mindful Shell 🐚🧜‍♀️🦪 @themindfulshell

✨🦪✨ Where Creativity, Community & Mindfulness Come Together 🤍

So excited to be dropping off The Mindful Shell’s 2026 Holiday Ornament Collection at The Mindful Turtle @mindfulturtle

📍 Mindful Turtle Yoga 🐢🧘‍♀️🧘
60 Route 25A, Suite 4
East Setauket, NY 11733

For the second consecutive year, I’m grateful for the opportunity to showcase my handcrafted oyster shell ornaments in such a special space.

The Mindful Turtle holds a special place in my heart. I love practicing yoga here, and over the years, I’ve found that these rooms have a beautiful way of giving me exactly what I need through my practice—whether it’s peace, clarity, grounding, or simply a moment to reconnect with myself. 🧘‍♀️✨

There’s something truly meaningful about sharing my creativity in a space that has given me so much personally.

A heartfelt thank you to Jackie at The Mindful Turtle for welcoming my creations back for another holiday season and for cultivating a space where mindfulness, creativity, and community come together.

Grateful for community, connection, and the beautiful ways we support one another. 💕🐚

Handcrafted with love, inspired by the sea 🌊🧜‍♀️

A little messenger in red. ❤️✨

These cardinal Oyster 🦪 shell ornaments were some of my fastest sellers last holiday season.

For many, cardinals are a beautiful symbol of loved ones who have passed — a little reminder that love is still near 🪽

This season, I elevated the design with a red ball accent for an extra festive touch.

Handcrafted, gold-edged, and made with meaning. 🎄

When a cardinal appears, some say heaven is near. ❤️

Limited quantities available again this season through The Mindful Shell 🦪🎁🎄

While the wind and rain roll through outside, I’m tucked into the studio and right on track creating ornaments and coastal art for this season’s holiday markets and pop-ups 🎁

There’s something especially cozy about a stormy fall day, a table full of shells, a little paint, fireplace on , and nowhere else I need to be.

And even sweeter — I uncovered who gifted me the 2️⃣ Scallop shells… it was a neighbor. 🤍💫

Each piece begins with something the sea left behind and slowly becomes a one-of-a-kind keepsake by hand. 🤍

From the sea, to my hands, to your home.
Holiday magic is officially underway at The Mindful Shell. 🎄🐚✨

From you, to my hands, to something new. 🐚
