About Me

 Welcome to our driftwood shop! My name is Katie and I have a thing for driftwood. My husband, James and I both grew up in boating families and spent our summers on the Chesapeake Bay. After getting married, my father gifted one of the families’ small boats to us – a 16 foot aluminum boat that I grew up with, that was born the same year as me. James and I have always enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, rejecting demanding careers and expensive possessions in favor of time in nature and relaxing days spent together. The gift of the little boat was a life-changer for us, and continues to support our small driftwood business.

It seemed that anytime we went out to the beach, I would always find amazing pieces of driftwood to bring home and add to my collection. Unique pieces of driftwood always caught my eye and I was drawn to their natural, almost mystical shapes and lines. I love the way that simple pieces of wood and tree branches are transformed by tides and time into a new form that is smoothed and hardened by the elements. The driftwood collection in our house continued to grow, little pieces displayed here and there. Seeing these beautiful, driftwood accent pieces in my home led me to wonder if other people might enjoy their own special driftwood.

My sharp attention to detail makes it easy for me to pick out the most interesting pieces of driftwood from a huge pile on the beach and be able to critically evaluate and reject any pieces with imperfections that would make them unsuitable for sale. I really enjoy handling driftwood and delight in the processes I have in place to deliver these refined pieces of driftwood to you. I am thrilled that I get to work with driftwood on a daily basis and love to have it all over my house (quite literally - it is all over the house!). Driftwood has a warm, cozy, natural vibe that I know you’ll appreciate in your specially selected piece of driftwood décor or craft accent!
