Pockets full of Sea Glass

Packing for our trip next week has been a mix of emotions I didn’t quite expect. There’s excitement, of course there is. A whole week in the Caribbean celebrating my husband’s “big” birthday, time together, beautiful beaches, and a journey he has thoughtfully planned down to every detail.

But there’s also that quiet feeling of leaving something behind.

For me, it’s my little jewelry pieces… the ones waiting on my workbench, the ideas that won’t be convert on making something new for the next 11 days, and even my store, paused for a while. It’s strange how something so small can feel so present when you step away from it.

Still, I know this time is meant to be lived fully. To slow down, to be present, to celebrate, and to gather inspiration in a different way. Maybe in the colors of the water, the textures of the sand, or the simple joy of not rushing.

I have expectations of finding some new pieces of sea glass, as our trip starts and ends in San Juan, and hopefullyI can find some in the other islands that we will be visiting.

And if I’m lucky… I’ll come back not only with memories, but with pockets full of sea glass and a heart full of new ideas ✨
