J. Mendicino’s Shorebird Vases remind me of the summers spent at the Delaware shore.

Sandpipers (depicted in J. Mendicino’s design) are my absolute favorite beach-loving bird. They hang out at the water’s edge and run into the surf as it leaves the shoreline, quickly (and delicately) escaping the crashing waves and returning to the hot sand for safety until the water recedes again. If you’re lucky enough to see these little guys, take some time to watch their patterns, surely they’ll bring a smile to your face.
