A Coastal Christmas: Handmade Ornaments with Real Nova Scotia Beach Sand

There is something special about decorating a tree with ornaments that tell a story. Our handmade Christmas ornaments are made from clay and real Nova Scotia beach sand, so every one carries a little piece of the East Coast.

How beach sand ornaments are made

Each ornament is shaped by hand from clay and finished with beach sand, which gives it a soft, natural texture and a rustic coastal look. Because each one is handmade, no two are exactly alike.
