After 15 years of transforming ocean waste into Christmas treasures, Margaret Williams's body has finally given out. We investigated this heartwarming story that's moving people across Cape Cod.
A letter from Margaret Williams, polished glass artist, Cape Cod
Cape Cod — Margaret Williams, 73, will close her artisan studio after fifteen years on January 15, 2026. In her 215 sq ft studio near the harbor, she's packing up her creations for the last time: Bird made from polished glass, recovered fragment by fragment from Cape Cod's beaches.
The reason for this closure? Rent that's doubled in five years, mounting medical bills, and above all a body that can no longer keep up. "My accountant kept telling me to stop months ago," she admits, her hands trembling. "You're working yourself to death, he'd say. He was right."
Before closing her doors for good, the artisan is selling off her final 847 pieces at $12.99 instead of $29. A clearance sale that's nothing like a typical commercial operation: it's the end of a story that has touched the entire region.
Our investigation reveals how a personal tragedy transformed into a consuming passion, and why this closure means far more than just another Cape Cod business shutting down.
The turning point: when the ocean became therapy
March 2010. Henry Williams passes away from lung cancer after 42 years of marriage. Margaret finds herself alone in a house that has become too quiet. "Those first few months, I didn't know what to do with myself," she recalls. "The walls echoed back my grief endlessly."
One morning, unable to sleep, she walks down to the beach before dawn. That's where she finds her first piece of polished glass: a turquoise fragment, smooth to the touch, transformed by years of waves and sand.
"I cried holding it in my palm," she remembers. "If the ocean could transform something broken into treasure, perhaps I could survive too."
She begins collecting. Every morning. In all weathers. At first, she keeps the fragments in jars, unsure what to do with them. Then, in November that same year, an idea takes shape: to create something Henry would have loved. Her husband adored Christmas, the rituals, the small daily moments of care.
That's how her first polished glass fir trees were born. In 2011, she rents a small 215 sq ft workshop near the harbour. A sanctuary that would become her reason for living for the next fourteen years.
360 kilogrammes of glass and thousands of hours of work
For fifteen years, Margaret Williams walked Cape Cod's beaches at dawn. The tally: 800 pounds of recovered glass. Turquoise fragments from old decorative bottles, deep greens from wine bottles, frosted whites, and occasionally rare cobalt blue.
Some calendars even contain lavender pink — the Holy Grail for sea glass collectors. "It took me months to gather enough," the artisan notes.
But time and her body have finally caught up with her passion. Her knees make her suffer. Her hands tremble more and more. Last July, the fall: she fractures her wrist on the rocks while collecting glass. Three weeks off work. Medical bills pile up alongside overdue rent.
"My body said no," she puts it simply.
An overwhelming wave of support
When news of the closure spreads across the region, the response is immediate. Loyal customers spontaneously offer financial help. A local petition circulates to try and find someone to take over or a patron.
But Margaret Williams flatly refuses charity. "I don't want to be saved," she insists. "I want to close with dignity, on my own terms."
Her solution: to sell off her final 847 Bird at half price. $12.99 instead of $29. Each sale allows her to pay a bill, to honor a month's rent, to leave with her head held high.
Orders flood in quickly. From across Cape Cod first, then from all over New England. Her inbox fills with moving messages. "Your calendar helped me through my depression," writes a customer from Boston. "You taught me that broken things can become beautiful again," shares another from Portland.
On social media, hundreds of people share her story. Some speak of "living heritage", others of "human treasure". A spontaneous outpouring that reaches far beyond Cape Cod's borders.
But the countdown continues: 11 weeks until the studio closes for good.
The final 847 pieces of a life's work
On the shelving unit that Henry built with his own hands before he died, 847 Bird . No endless warehouse stock. No mass production from China. Just what remains of a life's passion condensed into 215 sq ft.
Margaret assembled them this summer, thinking she still had time ahead of her. "I was mistaken," she admits today.
"This isn't just an Bird ," the craftswoman explains. "It's a ritual of gentleness in the December chaos. Three minutes of peace each morning before the day begins."
Buyers aren't mistaken. Many order several: for their mother, their grandmother, a friend going through difficult times. "The best gifts aren't flashy," Margaret observes. "They carry a story, an intention, a piece of soul."
When these 847 Bird are gone, it will truly be over. The workshop will close on 15th January 2026. And with it, fifteen years of heritage crafted with trembling hands, piece by trembling piece.
A heritage that will outlive the workshop
Margaret Williams harbours no illusions. In a few weeks, her tenancy will end. The keys will be handed back. Henry's shelving unit will be dismantled. The 215 sq ft that have been her sanctuary for fourteen years will likely house another business.
But she refuses to see this as failure. "When my workshop no longer exists, these little Bird will continue telling the story of the sea," she affirms. "And perhaps mine too."
For her, each calendar sold is a victory. Not just financially. It's proof that her work has touched people, that it has brought a little beauty into sometimes difficult lives.
"I regret nothing," she insists. "These fifteen years have saved me. They've allowed me to transform my grief into something beautiful. If my creations can do the same for others, then I'll have succeeded."
At $12.99, the Bird are selling quickly. Some days, she sells a dozen. Others, thirty. Stock dwindles steadily. The counter drops: 847, then 820, then 780...
For those still hesitating, Margaret's message is clear: "This isn't charity I'm asking for. It's simply to give a home to what I've created with my trembling hands and all the love I have left for the ocean."
How to order before it's too late

The 847 Bird represent all that remains of Margaret Williams's stock. No restock will be possible. No new production is planned. When they're gone, this fifteen-year adventure will end for good.
The price has been halved: $12.99 instead of $29. A reduction that's nothing to do with marketing strategy, but reflects the urgency of the situation. Each sale brings the artisan closer to a dignified closure, without unpaid debts or outstanding bills.
Orders can be placed directly online. Margaret guarantees each calendar: satisfied or your money back within 30 days. "I want people to love them as much as I loved creating them," she notes.
Delivery times are short. From her Cape Cod studio, she personally ships each package. Some customers have already received their orders and report: "Even more beautiful than in the photos", "Craftsmanship of incredible finesse", "You can feel the love in every detail".
Time is running out. In 11 weeks, the studio will close its doors. For those who wish to own a piece of this story, for those seeking a gift filled with meaning, the opportunity won't come again.
