About our Artist / Owner:
I am a self-proclaimed beach girl and shell lover! It probably started growing up on a lake in Michigan, being less than a hours drive to the pristine beaches of Lake Michigan. Lots of trips to the beach with friends!
Then, something happened that cemented my love of the sea. My family began vacationing on Anna Maria Island, on Florida's beautiful Gulf Coast, and I was officially hooked! My parents bought a home there and became snowbirds, and I began yearning for my already frequent visits to the shores of AMI. Crossing those bridges was like coming home; still is today.
My mom and I fell into the crazy habit of getting up in the early am, before the sunrise to go shell hunting, and getting to the beach to "get the big ones" before the other beachcombers arose. My family just shook their heads!
Often, our diligence was rewarded, bringing home a bounty of gorgeous shells, sea glass, and prizes washed in to the shore. Every day was fueled by the thrill of the hunt! I was hooked on seashells and the sea forever!
Professionally, I have extensive experience in the gift industry, first owning a corporate gift company, then moving on to Beach Grass Cottage. What better way to follow my passions than to use my God given gifts creating beautiful things from the bounty of the ocean! To be able to do something you truly love, and to have the talent to actually survive at it, is such a blessing!! Beach Grass Cottage truly was a dream realized through many prayers.
I am committed to uncompromised product quality and customer service, and I and want to hear from you about what you love and what you're looking for in seashell mirrors, seashell frames, beach home decor, and sea glass gifts.
Beach Grass Cottage is located in Michigan, near the pristine beaches and resort communities of Lake Michigan, home of obsessively devoted beach dwellers, killer sand dunes, casual lakeshore living and the most gorgeous sunsets on the planet!
I'm really glad you found us! If you love shells, shores and beaches like I do, I know you will find something here that speaks to you!
