Caron's Beach House

sea fan sculpture
Step into Caron's Beach House and it becomes clear that Caron not only loves the ocean, but is committed to help protecting it. From striving to find sustainable home decor items to recycling and re-using packaging material to supporting causes.

glass starfish
For example. If you buy this hand-crafted Glass Starfish, which I think would make a beautiful gift, Caron's Beach House will donate 25% to Ocean Conservancy.Org. Caron says, this organization works tirelessly to bring awareness of our Oceans' plight and they've been the instigators of the largest volunteer effort, ever, picking up over 7 million pounds in over 100 countries.

nautical ginger jars
Another favorite of mine are these wonderful Sea Life Ginger Jars. The detailed drawings remind me of Cabinet of Natural Curiosities, as well as John Derian's Work.

sealife trays
Naturally I'm loving these vintage style Sea Life Trays too. Check out another set here. I'm really tempted -the price is so good!

coastal entertaining
One of Caron's Beach House favorite categories is Coastal Tabletop -click over and indulge yourself! So many different styles to choose from. Dinnerware, serving pieces, linens...

seahorse glasses
... and a great selection of Fine Glassware.

coastal wreath
I love wreaths! They can incorporate anything and everything you love. This Coastal Wreath says Fall to me, and I adore the driftwood Sandpiper. I've featured Caron's very own wreath here.

scallop shell box
And in the same category (as the wreath) Beachcombers Gifts, I found this gorgeous little cast iron scallop Shell Box.

Having an entrepreneurial spirit myself, I'm always eager to learn about other people's journey, and I'm really glad that Caron shared hers here on her blog Everything Coastal. Keep alive what you love, no matter what the circumstances are! That's what her journey tells me.

I love that glass starfish -- I just might have to pick one up to add to my collection of beach items :-)

Thanks for the introduction to Caron and her store :-)

I love the glass starfish. We have just returned from a beach vacation in Cape Cod, MA and brought starfish, beautiful beach stones and even driftwood for decorating projects. Miss the beach already! Your blog is a great coastal inspiration!
