Maybe it’s because I’m a July baby, or because I took classes all summer, or maybe it’s because I haven’t gotten my fill of the beach yet, but I am not ready to shun everything summery, warm, and wonderful yet. And thank goodness I don’t have to. From soaps to home decor, Blue Moon keeps summer coming all year round! I understand I have to stop wearing white, but there’s no rule that says stop enjoying beachy delights after Labor Day. If there is, it definitely doesn’t apply on the coast! This beautiful beach scene is a great way to bring the serenity of the ocean home with you.

If you’re a boat lover, Jan Magic-Banks of Fa La La might have a couple pieces that will steal your heart. Her latest works, Serenity and At Ease, capture the peace and tranquility of a day out on the water. With all the stress everyday life can bring, one of Jan’s creations can provide a quick chance to escape.

This wreath from Studio Tree is certain to be a conversation starter. Three starfish tucked in to this eclectic wreath give it a straight from the beach vibe. I can almost feel the sand in my toes just looking at the rugged cut burlap. Perfect for an entry way or the centerpiece of a room, seeing this causal chic wreath every night will bring a little of the seaside right to your home.
Don’t let the fresh scents of summer pass you by either! Out of Eden Soaps have Wrightsville Breeze and Carolina Breeze all year long to help with the beach withdrawals. Duck Duck Goose’s candles are also great to keep the sunny scents of summer around your house a little while longer. My personal favorite is the Beach Bag Gift Set from Oliva Olive Oil Soaps… what a perfect way to bring a little piece of the beach to my friends who aren’t so lucky to live on the coast! These are a must if you’re looking for a little something to stick in your carry on before jetting off for the holidays!
These handmade glass starfish from Burchetta Glassblowing are one of our most popular thank you gifts. With stickers that read “Made in the USA” and a touch of individuality to each starfish, they are more than just your average souvenir. John Burchetta and Elizabeth Miele, the masterminds behind the glass, offer classes in glass blowing, take custom orders, and ship internationally! A glass blowing class is a great way to spend an autumn day on the coast, when the weather has turned cold.
This beautiful sea glass jewelry from Wendell August is another great way to keep the ocean close through the chilly fall months. The Oceana line is only one of the elegant jewelry collections Wendell August have debuted this year. Keep checking back to see the next big thing Wendell August brings in! There are rumors of a Halloween collection… but we don’t want to scare anyone yet 😉
Halloween? Holidays? Cold Weather? Already? It seems a little overwhelming since we are still recovering from the sunburns of those summer beach days. Luckily, Blue Moon has fantastic year-round tactics for keeping the spirit of summer alive.
Just don’t let our love of summer fool you… there’s only sixty days and nineteen hours until our Holiday Open House! But who’s counting?
