This time of year, many are headed to the beach (or down the shore as we say in Philly). Personally, I’m excited to go on vacation and sit on the sand, watching the waves and spending time with family. Since the internet seems to know my thoughts, I keep seeing an ad for a “coastal grandmother” box of clothes that make me want to say, “take my money”. But then I remembered the Petite Fleur shirt that is first on this list and I plan on purchasing that and packing it in my suitcase!
Whether you are a beach lover, and coastal home owner or shopping for one or the other – I think you’ll love this collection from Catholic artisans that felt inspired in prayer to create these items for you and your loved ones!
We’re going coastal with these prayer inspired gifts!!!

Florals are inspired by Mary, Stella Maris (Star of the Sea).
Behind the Inspiration
This cleansing, salty scent immediately reminds you of the sea. It is nuanced with soft florals, reminding us of Mary’s gentleness and humble femininity.
Mary, Stella Maris is the patron saint of seafarers, and her prayers are also frequently invoked by those desiring her to guide them closer to her Son, as the North Star guides those upon the sea. Her feast day is September

The Be Yourself Journal is the perfect summer activity for girls ages 10 to 13!
Here are what some parents are saying about Be Yourself: a Journal for Catholic Girls:
“My 10yo LOVES the be yourself journal! She says it’s like talking to a good friend who asks questions to know her better ❤️ I love how it helps her grow in her identity as Gods beautiful daughter and a great thing to do when she’s looking for something to do!”
and
“I ordered this journal for my 12-year-old daughter. It is truly beautiful! The artwork and layout is colorful and fun. And the content is thought-provoking without being too heavy. In this book, Amy covers various ideas like love, peace, and gifts and talents sharing saint stories, bible verses, and reflection questions. She does a great job covering a range of themes inviting self-reflection as well as directing the reader to better themselves for the future. There is also plenty of space for the reader to be artsy and creative – which for many young girls is a perfect way to work through things in their minds and hearts. I think this book is a great journal to give your daughter to work through on her own, or to work through with her.”
