I love the softness of tumbled glass and pottery. When I was little, my dad collected beach glass, stones and driftwood that inevitably found their way inside the house where they were turned into some sort of vignette. While the most memorable of those collections was a starfish series arranged by size, I always loved how the small objects looked grouped together. Those collections flooded back into my mind when I saw these small assemblages of sea glass and pottery for sale at The Strandline Etsy shop. The lovely, simple product shots make me want to own the full collection and frame them in shadow boxes. Those soft edges come from being tumbled, over and over again, against the ocean floor, and they instantly relax me. I can hear the waves and smell the salt air without even being there. The Strandline sells a few different groupings — from glass and pottery to shells — that you can buy online right here. Most of the collections sell for about $7 to $11 each. xo, grace
