A feature of our shop is a variety of beautifully crafted "Sailor Valentines", which are three dimensional, intricate shellwork designs usually involving a piece of scrimshaw art work as a center of the design, and all mounted in a shadowbox frame.

These pieces are recreations of shell art work brought home to loved ones after a long voyage at sea by 19th century sailors. Also featured are shell art mirrors, Nantucket basket and shell art centerpieces, shell art trinket boxes, folk art decorated and hand grained painted furniture. All of these pieces are handcrafted at the Sow's Ear Farm workshop by the proprietors, Stephen and Laurie Hayes.
