A meaningful March and Spring salutations 2025 to you, my fellow gifted thrifters and thrifty gifters!  

It’s the first month of Spring, Adar and Nisan of 5785, Women’s and Irish Month.  Month of Ramadan, the Disability Day Of Mourning, Mardi Gras / Fat/Shrove/Pancake Tuesday, Ash Wednesday, Women’s Day, Daylight Saving Time, Purim, Pi(e) Day, the Ides of March, Saint Patrick’s Day, the Spring Equinox, Maryland Day, and the Trans(gender) Day Of Visibility (TDOV).

Nu, as regular readers know, I adore the shore.  And jewelry.  And, thus, seashore-themed jewelry.  So today, as from time to time, we will be looking at some of the best seashore jewelry listings on DC Goodwill’s Shop Goodwill in the last few months.  All silver, this time.  Sterling, no less.    

We’ll begin with the four listings that include sand dollars, since that’s my shore-adoring spouse’s favorite seashell (they’re actually the entire bodies of sea urchins, but).  Three bracelets and two pendants.

And now for some scallops (yum) and the type of seashell that reminds me of a cinnamon bun (maybe I shouldn’t have written this so close to lunch, LOL).  A necklace and bracelet set, another necklace, and a pair of earrings.

Did I save the best for last?  Not necessarily.  But I may have saved the most special one.  The charms on the two shore-themed bracelets here include a lobster, which reminds me of my home state of Massachusetts.  And the lighthouse foreshadows my August post, which will be all about lighthouses for Lighthouse Month.

Again, happy Spring!  I’ll see you back here next month, in April.  Where I’ll be talking about Judaica, Jewish art and ritual items, for Pesach (Passover).
