Held Collection is a collection of painted olive tree shells made into key chains. It was created in the meaningful memories and adventures with my 5 children. Walks to the beach have always involved finding treasures along the way and one of those were little “boats”. We would pick them up and take them home and play with them and even paint them for fun together! The olive tree nut shells were these little boats and years later became a reminder for me of the beauty that is found in these treasures. A joy and beauty that is found in the small moments of life. A comfort and connection that is found in the act of remembering.

Each piece holds a reminder that we are held through life’s journey and that we are never alone.

A whisper and a reminder to appreciate the beauty and significance of the small things in life. That you are loved and held no matter where life takes you.

Held Collection is dedicated to each of my 5 beautiful children. You are each deeply loved and cherished.
