About Us

Hi there! I’m Cherie Herne, the salty soul behind Maine Salty Girl. Born and raised in the seaside town of York, Maine, I’ve always felt a deep connection to the ocean—some might even say I’ve got mermaid DNA (8th-generation Yorkie here!).

At Maine Salty Girl, we turn beachy vibes into beautiful coastal treasures. From handcrafted driftwood wreaths and wedding arches to sea glass décor, everything we make is inspired by the ocean and made with love right here in Maine. Whether you’re decorating a cozy beach house, styling a wedding, or looking for a unique gift, I’ve got you covered with one-of-a-kind creations straight from the shore.

When I’m not crafting, you’ll probably find me paddleboarding (sometimes even to work!) or hunting for driftwood and sea glass to inspire the next project. Life by the sea is my happy place, and I’m so excited to share a piece of it with you!

How Maine Salty Girl Began...

My journey began against the backdrop of Maine's southern coast, where beachcombing has been my lifelong source of rejuvenation and inspiration. A past life as a graphic and web designer gave way to a transformative chapter when a Lyme disease diagnosis shone a light on the ocean's remarkable healing properties. Battling the foggy haze in my mind and the aches in my body, I found solace on the shore, and thus, the seeds of Salty Girl were sown. After all, life truly sparkles at the beach!

Thank you for visiting, and as we say by the sea, stay salty!
Warmly,

Cherie (a.k.a. Salty Girl)
