Shoreline
A simply constructed headband reminiscent of shells and foliage found on the water’s edge, this piece is in honor of beach combing. As a MN girl, when I think of the beach, I think of the north shore. The great lakes are a treasure trove of drift wood, beach glass, shells, and seaweed. Lake Superior, this one’s for you!
