My husband and I have made it a priority over the past few years to get away a couple times together for a long weekend together and we usually end up in this quiet town in Michigan called Saugatuck which is about 20 minutes from Holland (home of the huge Michigan Tulip Festival). While we are there, we usually have one good evening in which the weather cooperates and we head to the scenic Oval Beach to watch the sunset, enjoy some snacks and a bottle of wine and relax.
Both my husband and I have fond memories of our childhood involving beautiful bodies of water and sandy beaches - his being in Europe and mine being along the Northwestern part of Michigan along the lake. My husband and I love heading to Saugatuck because it gave us a chance to explore more of Lake Michigan and it's beautiful sandy beaches and make our own memories as a couple.
I came across Dune Jewelry online a couple years during the holidays after searching for unique keepsake jewelry pieces. Their jewelry is truly unique and stunning. Dune Jewelry pieces are usually filled with sand from specific locations worldwide and handmade for you to wear as a memento or keepsake of your time spent at that location. They have a "Sand bank" filled with sands from beaches not just from the United States, but worldwide. Can't find your sand? You can actually submit your own sand for your piece of jewelry and they will keep your sand on file for future customers.
