Hang a shell, Take a shell
Our shell tree is a little reminder that joy is something we can share. Each shell carries a smile, a wish, or a piece of someone’s day left behind for the next person to discover. Hang a shell, take a shell, and let the simple beauty of nature connect us. It's about small acts of kindness one shell, one smile at a time.
