Happy New Year, from Coast Chimes

Happy New Year, from Coast Chimes
Happy New Year Wishes
from Coast Chimes

I can not believe 2019 is gone! What a busy, great year! My customers kept me busier than ever (thank you!), and kind messages about orders received kept me more motivated than ever: there is nothing better than an email raving about a wind chime or suncatcher, or how happy my work made someone-- so great!

My plan of not getting my workshop back together before the new year fell flat, as I saw only one set of copper chimes left. So ordering copper, sawing, sanding with a vengeance. The copper chimes are for now under control, and onto some new design ideas that I am excited to share, once the sun pokes through and there is enough light to snap a few pictures... soon, I hope!

Happy new year, all the best for 2020!

Thank You, from Coast Chimes

Thank you! From Coast Chimes
A Sincere Thank You
To All Those Who Appreciate and Support Handmade Quality

Back over 25 years ago, in my home in the woods, far from most people, I first came to understand what an amazing thing the Internet could be, as I discovered I could reach the whole world. Thanks to the Internet, my work started to spread far and wide: the USA, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Japan.

This year, and especially this Christmas season, has been no exception. And I am grateful. So thank you all my customers. You make what I do possible.

Wishing you a happy holiday season, and a fantastic 2020.

Exceptional Christmas, Housewarming, Birthday Gifts: Coast Chimes

Freestanding kaleidoscope suncatcher by Coast Chimes
Freestanding Kaleidoscope Suncatcher
$95 with Free Shipping at Coast Chimes

Some call this a suncatcher, but eye-catcher might be more accurate! Loose morsels of artist-made sea glass come to life when the sun shines through the glass. Perfect to brighten any windowsill. What a great gift for Christmas, housewarming, birthday. The well crafted cedar box frame with extra-thick plate glass sits in a contrasting cedar stand, all hand oiled with an exceptional tung nut finish.

See the many original designs featuring glass, copper, driftwood, beach stone and other beautiful materials at Coast Chimes.
