A Few Favorite Things
ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECES INSPIRED BY THE PLACES I LOVE
A little piece of the shore, handmade in clay. 🌊
Each ceramic shell begins with a real seashell that I personally collected along the beaches of Sanibel Island, Florida. I press the natural shell directly into stoneware clay, capturing its unique shape, texture, and tiny details.
Every shell is individually formed, glazed, then finished with recycled Coke bottle glass that melts during firing to create a beautiful, glassy pool of color inside. Because each piece is made by hand and inspired by a different natural shell, no two are exactly alike.
Handmade in my White Bear Lake, Minnesota studio, these shells are perfect for holding jewelry and other tiny treasures, styling on a shelf or table, or simply bringing a little piece of the beach into your home.
Variations in shape, glaze, texture, and recycled glass are part of the handmade process and make each shell one of a kind. Due to cracked glaze design - these are not food safe.
Natural opals delicately beaded on a beautiful sterling silver necklace. You choose between rough multicolored opals or smooth iridescent stones.
Each necklace is carefully handcrafted, set in a sterling silver pendant on a 16’’ sterling silver chain. Due to the beauty of nature & design each pendant is unique, so the product you received may be slightly different from the picture. Each piece is truly one of a kind.
A little piece of the moon to hold your earthly treasures.
Inspired by the beautifully imperfect surface of the moon, these handmade ceramic trinket dishes feature tiny craters, delicate textured details, and softly irregular edges. Each one is individually hand-built and finished with a glossy white glaze, giving every little moon its own unique character.
Perfect for holding your favorite rings, necklaces, crystals, tiny treasures, or simply displaying as a little piece of art.
Available in three sizes:
Small: Approximately 1.5–2 inches
Medium: Approximately 2.5–3.5 inches
Large: Approximately 4–4.5 inches
Each dish is handmade in my Minnesota pottery studio. Slight variations in shape, texture, and size are part of their charm - no two moons are exactly alike.
Made by hand. Inspired by the places I love.
Welcome to my creative world - I’m so glad you’re here!
From Lake Superior driftwood and North Shore pebbles to stones, shells, crystals, and treasures gathered near and far - I create jewelry, pottery, driftwood art, and one-of-a-kind gifts inspired by the lakes, woods, and wildlife that bring me joy.
Many of the materials I use are ethically and intentionally sourced - including rocks, fossils, meteorites, and minerals collected by small local rockhounds and some I mine myself. Every item in my shop is either handmade or thoughtfully collected, ensuring each piece carries meaning, connection, and a little bit of earth’s magic.
That's Opal + Birch.
