Love this shell for our ring bearer, it is just as beautiful in person! Worked well with my nephew holding it upside down on the sand, rings stayed on and looked stunning in pictures! So happy I found this unique and gorgeous item for my wedding! Seller is also very sweet and quick at responding! Thanks Micki :)

About
IN THE STUDIO WITH MICKI OF A2SEA CREATIONS
Micki resides on beautiful Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. Her adventure began in December 2008, when she designed a beach-themed ornament for a Christmas sale held at a local art gallery, where her photography was featured. The ornaments sold like hotcakes so her friend, Cheryl, suggested they make more of them. One thing led to another and the two gals ended up opening their Etsy shop in January '09.
What began with one ornament, soon ballooned into whatever their creative brains could think up; from ‘Nautical Notepads’ to ‘Mermaid Treasure Pendants’, 'Seaside Treasure Boxes’ to the ever-popular ‘Message in A Bottle’... and so much more. Before long they had shelves jammed full of seaside treasures!
At the beginning of their venture, the two gals worked at Micki's kitchen table. This was far from ideal as her kitchen was soon taken over by seashells, driftwood, raffia, sea glass, moss, sand... you name it. What a mess! It was clear that they needed to figure out a more practical solution. So Micki's rarely-used guest room became their new crafting space. She purchased several tall, inexpensive bookshelves, a fold-up work table, and they were set to go.
Cheryl worked with Micki until July 2015. Micki now runs the business by herself but they remain the very best of friends.
Micki takes pride in the fact that she uses primarily local, organic, recycled & eco-friendly materials. She does her own beach-combing, although she does purchase a few shells for variety. It is not unusual to see her cleaning seashells in her kitchen sink or drying seaweed and driftwood in her oven. Many interesting aromas waft out of her kitchen!
(By the way, Micki does not believe in harming living creatures, so she will only work with 'vacated shells'.)
Besides selling her nautical gifts and beach décor on Etsy, Micki has her handcrafted products in several gift shops on Vancouver Island, including 'Newfoundland to Nanaimo' on the Nanaimo harbour and 'Mercedes Lane' in Parksville, BC, where she also sells shabby chic décor.

Returns and exchanges
If your item arrives damaged or broken, we will refund your money. However, before doing so, we will need to see a photo of the damaged / broken item. We do not refund shipping costs, however.
If your item arrives and you do not like it, we do not accept refunds. Our photos depict all of our items the way they actually are and we provide multiple photos so that our customers can see the item up close before purchasing. We also include measurements in every listing so that our customers end up with no surprises. So please take the time to look at every picture of the item you want to buy, and to read the information provided with each listing, before purchasing.
Payment
Note: We also accept money orders, certified checks and email transfers, however, we will not be able to ship items until we receive payment.
If paying with Paypal, please ensure that the mailing address, you have associated with Etsy, matches your PayPal shipping address so as to ensure your orders will not be delayed.
When you place an order with us, we need to either receive payment or communication from you within 24 hours, or we will have to cancel your order and re-list that item. We just ask to be treated fairly and we will treat you fairly in return.
Shipping larger items is quite expensive here in Canada so we have had to reflect that in our shipping costs. That said, however, if shipping turns out to be considerably less than the price we had listed, we will gladly refund you the difference via Paypal, minus the cost for our materials/handling.
Shipping
If you live overseas, import duties and taxes are not included in the item price or shipping charges. If you have concerns about these charges, please contact your local post office to see what those charges might be. Overseas shipping by airmail can be very costly - especially for larger items. Surface mail is significantly cheaper but can take up to six weeks or more. So, if you are ordering from overseas, please remember that we cannot predict how long it will take. Often, packages will be held up in customs.
MULTIPLE PURCHASES
If you order more than one item, shipping is automatically reduced for most items, but only if payment is sent for all items in one transaction.

Additional policies and FAQs
We welcome any inquiries, comments and ideas. If you have any special requests, please contact us and we will try our very best to accommodate you. If a custom order is beyond our ability to design, or is something we do not feel reflects our genre, we reserve the right to refuse. If a customer becomes unreasonable in his or her requests, or asks for an unreasonable amount of changes to the custom-made item, we also reserve the right to refuse and cancel the order. We must receive full payment before the item is created.
Please see our Refund Policies.
