Seashell and Starfish Garland Beach Themed Christmas Decorations
Seashells and starfish… I can’t think of anything more beachy than those two things! For this seashell and starfish beach garland, I really like how they’ve incorporated the shells and starfish into a braided cord to give a very coastal feel to things.

“JOY” Seashell Flower Beach Christmas Candles
I don’t know about you, but in our family, candles have always been a big part of holiday celebrations. Something about little flickering candlelight really puts things in the holiday mood. So I was thrilled to see these “Joy” Seashell Flower Beach Christmas Candles. Added bonus points for the way that the shells have been used here (as I’m also a big fan of seashell art).

Beachy Snowflake “Noel” – Jute Wrapped Votive
Continuing with our candle theme, I love not only the use of the different shells here on Beach Snowflake “Noel” (and how cool is it to have a snowflake made of seashells?), but I am also a big fan of the color scheme in use here. Blue and white is sort of the official color scheme of beach houses, so setting these bleached shells against blue jute cord really works for me.
