Nature’s beauty, preserved

Crafted by hand by artist Peggy B, Kismet Keepsakes are constructed using locally sourced seashells, sand, stones and seaweed - preserved in resin.

Our keepsakes recall a special place or time in your life - preserving a moment unique to you - and serving as a tangible symbol of love, connection, and the individual journeys that shape our lives.

More than just souvenirs, these keepsakes embody the deep bonds we share with special places, loved ones, nature, and the divine guidance that influences our paths.

“Looking at beauty in the world is the first step of purifying the mind.” - Amit Ray, author, yogi and spiritual master

Artist, Life Coach and Entrepreneur, Peggy Butkus

I have always felt a deep connection and love for the shoreline. From my early days growing up on the coast of New England to my travels around the globe - the beach has always been a place of tranquility and inspiration.

An avid collector of beach treasures, I was led to create Kismet Keepsakes after making a my first piece for my dear friend Lisa. The piece honored Lisa’s cherished memories of New Castle Beach with her daughter Lavender, who passed away in October 2023 after an eight-month battle with glioma.

From this personal and profound experience, Kismet Keepsakes was born—offering others a way to preserve their own treasured moments and connections.
