The video shows the "before" oysters, with a lot of organic material that has to be cleaned off each shell. These aren't found-on-the-beach shells, these are shells from harvested oysters fresh from the ocean. The last photos shows the recent haul in the video after being soaked and scrubbed several time and left out on a sunny day

Some shells may still be have flaking and peeling of the scales.


These shells were soaked with a little bleach, and lightly scrubbed and left in the afternoon (cold) sun.
Often the larger shells have to be bleached and scrubbed several times, evident in the video.
These shells have sharp edges! Ask anyone who shucks them for a living.

No New England oyster shell is the same, and none are perfect.

We wrap each separately when storing and shipping.


Note: If you see more than one item you like, we will combine shipping where possible and refund the difference. Items in someone's cart are still available.

A note about our authentication and correctness of descriptions:
We have exercised reasonable effort to describe each item we sell, correctly and accurately. Unless otherwise noted there is no official authentication of our items, authentication comes with a fee, and will mean additional costs. Most of our items that are certified authentic are done so via consignment sales, usually specialized auction companies. We take as many photos as we can to show details of our items, and do our best to describe any flaws.
We know many of our items from estate clearances are "loved," have been used, and will show signs of wear and or storage.

History:
We are a woman owned business run by several busy women.

Estate sales are recycling or upcycling.
It amazes us how much some who clear estates, throw away. That means many missed opportunities, estate sales, to us, is the ultimate form of recycling or upcycling. There's always someone who will match with an item, it's just a matter of making the effort to find the right person and make that match, .

We appreciate your interest and business. Thank you for making us a part of this Etsy community.
We recycle and reuse clean packing materials.

We are a woman owned women run business selling estate treasures and just a sample of some of the artisan work of our own staff.

A personal note about selling on Etsy from our store owner, we put our own store at risk by posting this message, but we have not received answers from Etsy about these concerns:
We are disappointed to see so many items for sale on Etsy that do not comply with Etsy policies. We take Etsy rules and policies seriously and comply them. When items we have to sell do not qualify per Etsy rules and policies, we sell them on other online platforms and in person, we do not and will not violate Etsy policies. Items that are not handmade should not be listed as handmade. Items that are not vintage should not listed as vintage. Examples we see often are the planters we purchase from floral suppliers to use with Sola arrangements, sold here on Etsy by other sellers as handmade or vintage planters. This is unfair to those who make similar items by hand. It is impossible for artists to compete with factory-made.
Please, if you see something listed as handmade or vintage, that you suspect is imported and or factory made, ask the seller to clarify, and report the item to Etsy.
Help us keep Etsy honest and true to it's advertising.
