Are wedding bells ringing?
We can design a series of shells for the bride and her wedding party. After working with the bride to select a color palette based on the flowers and dresses, I design a series of shells, and either monogram them with their initials or add the wedding date/place. The bride can then wrap the shells with her own special note (several brides have wrapped the bridal party jewelry right in the shell!) Although they all share the same colors, each shell dish is an inherently unique treasure. That’s the beauty! It is a lovely, personal, and forever gift.
Love where you live!

In Scituate, MA, “1 4 3” is a code that symbolizes “I love you.” This tradition began with the Minot’s Ledge Lighthouse, also known as the “I Love You” lighthouse, which is located off the coast of Scituate. The lighthouse flashes its light in a 1-4-3 pattern, corresponding to the number of letters in each word of the phrase “I love you” (1 for “I,” 4 for “love,” and 3 for “you”). This unique characteristic has made the lighthouse an endearing symbol of love in the local community.
LJM quahog shell dishes are wonderful additions to your counter, charcuterie board, and entertaining spread! They are also perfect dishes for jewelry and salts. Personalized, they are extra special!
