Description
Fog rolls in off the Atlantic and wraps the harbour in grey. Out on the point, the lighthouse begins its slow sweep, a steady beam through the mist. A small boat chugs home past the jetty, its skipper squinting toward the light the way his father did and his grandfather before him. On shore, someone waits with a lantern and a thermos of chowder. Gulls cry somewhere above. The boat bumps the dock, the rope is thrown, and everyone is safe.
This charming box captures that timeless coastal scene. Inspired by Nantucket, it shows a lighthouse standing tall beside a boat, painted in vibrant colours that recall weathered shingles, bright buoys and summer skies. Beach-house owners, sailors, lighthouse collectors and anyone who has spent a happy summer on the island will all find a place for it. On a mantel beside sea glass and shells, it looks wonderfully at home.
