Welcome to“Turtle Treasures!”

Happy March!

these things I wish you-

Someone to love,

Some work to do,

A bit O’ Sun,

A bit O’ cheer,

And a guardian angel always near.

I love Presque Isle and the sandy shores and beautiful sunsets over Lake Erie! Finding something creative and unique to do with all the “treasure” I find walking the shore line has been so much fun.   I hope you will enjoy the wonderful “turtles” that I make from all my finds!

“Turtle Treasures” are  hand made with beach glass, pottery shards, shells, pebbles and rocks picked up bit by bit along the southern shores of Lake Erie by me, Bonnie J. Mohrbacher.  The “treasures” are not altered in any way, except for the clear coat of finish which seals the turtles and brings out the true colors.

Each turtle with their unique head, feet, tails and decorations has it’s own personality and no two are ever exactly alike.  I just can’t help giving them a name!

Whether you get some “Turtles” for your garden, somewhere in your home or as gifts for friends or loved ones, my hope is that my turtles themselves become very cherished “Treasures!”

“Turtle Treasures” make great gifts!

YOU CAN NOW PURCHASE “TURTLE TREASURES” AT “THE NATURE SHOP” AT THE TOM RIDGE ENVIRONMENTAL CENTER as well as the “PRESQUE ISLE GALLERY COFFEEHOUSE” where Laurie Edwards carries a broad selection of my turtles.    And now they are also in “THE WATER’S EDGE ART GALLERY,” 1121 BRIDGE ST., ASTHABULA,OH .

It’s still cold out…burrrrr!

Turtle Fact: Not all turtles and tortoises hibernate, but the blood of the ones that do, acts like “antifreeze”  allowing them to tolerate the cold temperatures.
