Courtney Noelle's "Nature Rocks" Series Debut

What a fun, fulfilling day of work at my "office" on the beach, searching out small stones offered by the ocean and collected during low tide. I designed the photo that inspired this series and then returned the pebbles to the water. The natural variances in the rocks make each picture unique and I'm happy to be offering these now also as a Custom item. 

Each three-photo Nature Rocks set is made up of a heart and/or letters of your choice, printed in either color or black-and-white, and framed in your preference of black, white, or silver 20" x 11" wooden frame, as well as signed and dated by the artist and accompanied by the Nature's Notebook seal of authenticity. 

Sample choices might include: 

• I ♥ U
• MOM
• DAD

I am excited to share these with you and to see what your ideas might be!  

Merry Christmas to you & yours.

Autumn Evenings at the Beach

Autumn evenings at the beach mean intimate talks around a bonfire, stargazing, and laughing until you lose your breath. The chill in the air is part of the magic, drawing everyone closer to the warmth of the fire and to each other. What better finishing touch than a cozy blanket? 

If you can't get to the shore as often as you'd like, I can help - let me send the feeling to you! I love sharing the joy I feel in creating art that reflects my love for the ocean's tranquility and power, as exemplified by this Unique Personalized Blanket.

I will go to the beach to create and capture the moment - the sand inscribed with your name (or the name of someone you love), the sparkling water, the rushing surf. That personalized beach photograph will be woven into a lovely 50" x 60" throw, there to enjoy long after the waves will have washed away the signs of that visit, beautiful enough to make you feel like you're there, adding a touch of coastal enchantment to the stargazing and company you enjoy from your own back yard. 

Whether for your own use or a delightful, personalized gift, each blanket is made to order, handcrafted with love and pride in the U.S.A., and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Every distinctive picture will be marked by the effect of Mother Nature's mood on that day; the waves and colors will vary accordingly and I will sign and date each picture, noting for you which beach I visited on your behalf. 

In addition to my passion for creating these pieces, I love to share the LOVE, so I will include as a gift with every purchase a 5x7 Love Photo, which you may choose to give as a gift or to hang in your own home for years to come. 

Whether prompted by a home warming or Holiday gifting need, or by your own hunger for something of the beach, scroll through the form here for options to further customize your package. If you're in need of a special Wedding or Anniversary  present, I also have a specialized version designed with just that in mind. I think you'll love them both!

Family

Family -- a group of people who are related to each other, and so much more! These very important people in your life deserve heartfelt gifts when holidays or special occasions arise. 

Mom & Child's name written in sand

Mothers Day is around the corner and this is the perfect gift idea. You love your mom more than words can say! She is that special someone who has made waves in your life! This is the perfect gift to tell her you love her.

The ever-changing nature of the ocean and beach makes each photo a unique work of art that will show just how important you are to each other. Plus you have several different color and frame options for each photo to make this gift even more special. Give a gift that will draw you into the beauty of nature as it draws you closer to each other.

Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity. Each piece is also signed by the artist and Courtney will write what beach your photo was taken at. These are truly one of a kind keepsakes. Your mother will love this!

Custom Beach Photo with your family's name written in sand (Framed & Matted)

The beach is wonderful and is the perfect canvas for Courtney Noelle to write your family names in the sand. Yes, your names will be inscribed onto the beaches and captures so they won't wash away. A starfish separates each family members name. Up to 6 names can be written in the sand (otherwise the picture is to busy). 

If your family has more than 6 members we suggest your last name. For example "The Long Family."

Inspirational Gifts Help Various Charities

Giving back is a very important part of my life, which is why you'll find numerous products where a part of the purchase price is donated to said charity.

Our latest efforts are to assist the In Plain Site campaign. You may have heard the term “sex trafficking” and thought that it was just an international issue. While the term trafficking may conjure images of desperate illegal immigrants being forced into prostitution by human smugglers, over 80 percent of victims in 2011 confirmed sex trafficking cases in this country were American citizens. Or, maybe, you heard about the recent case in Ohio where three girls were kidnapped and kept as sex slaves…and you thought it was just one guy with a serious problem. Think again. It’s happening in plain sight, and you probably don’t even realize it. Learn more about the project here: http://dld.bz/dhvn2
