About

Founder and owner of Beach Cottage Living Cape Cod.

I'm a wash ashore living in Harwich on  Cape Cod. I have two grown sons, one in DC and the other in Boston.

 
Beach Cottage Living began 30 years ago when my oldest son was born. I began making rag rugs and pillows for a little extra cash and selling in local Cape Cod shops as well as doing in person craft shows and pop ups. After my second son was born, and business was growing strong, I opened my first retail location in Chatham, Ma in 2001. Beach Cottage Living, (then Beach Cottage Designs) was born.
 
Two more shops and nearly 28 wholesale locations, my business had become a fulltime, year round company. I closed my last retail location in Harwich Port in January of 2014. It was time to pivot. I then took a large commercial studio space, 600sq. feet in an empty formal middle school ( that my kids went to) and dove into more wholesale, online sales and Pop Ups. 
 
 I really love what I do and I’m always looking for inspiration for the next handmade collection.
