Coastal Whims My love of nature and hand crafting beautiful keepsakes has prompted me to open my small home based business.

Our love of nature and hand crafting beautiful keepsakes has prompted us to build our small home based business! We work in a variety of mediums and love to explore new ideas. All of our items are found, crafted, and/or altered by us. We love the area around our home and have found it endlessly inspiring. We spend much of our free time sharing our love of nature with our family. These adventures g

ive us more than just the things we find but also priceless memories and moments to teach our children about the natural world around them.

My Story

Four years ago I was in a very different spot. My marriage was under a lot of different stresses, not the least of which was financial. I was watching the life we'd built fall apart before us, and nothing we did seemed to help. I began my art teaching career but working only 1 1/2 days a week hardly pays for the daycare and gas necessary to actually get to work in rural Maine. After four challenging years, my life is in a very different place...

​In the beginning it was crazy, starting a business with no experience meant I spent just as much time learning as I did creating. Money was tight, I was constantly trying to come up with free and cheap things to do with the kids, and we had been hiking and beach combing more and more around our little coastal town. It became our quiet time, our adventure time, our therapy. This passion, for nature and the environment, for the ocean and its treasures, it all became wrapped up in the desire to make things... before long Coastal Whims was born.

Life is an amazing adventure! My kids and I still hike regularly. I am now beginning a new full time position as a local Art Educator. I still teach workshops and college in the evening. I still spend just as much time learning as I do creating and teaching!

And now I invite you to be a part of this story, by taking home one of my unique creations. Each piece is lovingly designed and hand crafted by me. With each moment that goes into the creation, I am aware of what these pieces mean. They are my passion, my hearts, and my story. Thank you for being a part of it.
