Our Current Situation...
Update: My service dog Ember passed unexpectedly after a brief serious illness on December 29, 2023.
Original Fall 2023 Update: Unfortunately my two 12 year old mobility challenged dogs and myself have been living in/out of my car since August 31, 2023 after our landlord illegally ended our lease agreement early, and illegally withheld our security deposit, which we will be going to court to get back. Unfortunately the "damage" is done and we can not catch up financially being unable to do much WashAshore or pet care, my primary sources of income. We need to raise/make a minimum of $2,500 to have as a lump sum all at once in order to even shift in to temporary housing. Due to Ember and Cleo's mobility issues, we are even more limited in available housing as they can do about a maximum of 2-3 low steps in to a main living space.
Please note most items I still have listed on the website are pre-order and will likely take a minimum of a week to ship.
Shop WashAshore Store
Leashes, and more, Handcrafted from What Washes Ashore (and now also from retired lines donated for up cycling!)
Much more than just leashes
Our website is just the tip of the iceberg when if comes to the amount of line and products available. Since many of the products made are either one of a kind, or fewer than a dozen made, very little of what is available, or what can be made, is seen listed here on the website or on Etsy. If you are looking for a specific color, length, or type of product you do not see listed online please feel free to message me to see if there is something either pre-made, or available to be made, that will fit what you are looking for. For example, rope door mats are only made sporadically and each is one of a kind and only posted on Instagram. There are also many float rope colors for custom float rope toys, and line from a variety of locations (primarily in New England) available for custom orders.
The Start of WashAshore Store
My dog Ember (@Ember_the_Berner on Instagram) is seen here holding part of the first tangle of rope we found washed ashore in Winthrop, Massachusetts on January 26, 2016. This pile was washed ashore by Blizzard Jonas and is what inspired the creation of the WashAshore Store.
