“I love simple things… a weathered kitchen table where you can paint shells with your child and not worry about the drips…clothes already soft and sun-washed…a big white porcelain bowl filled with summer peaches…
These things matter, not only because they are beautiful and useful and comfy, but because they say something real about who we are and how we live and what we live for. And sometimes they even help us live better.
I hope everything we make and sell at How to Live is moody like this—full of philosophy, quirky and juicy and full of heart. I hope all our products nudge you toward simplicity. I hope they remind you of thankfulness. I hope they speak something true to you about how to live…”
Locations
How to Live has two brick and mortar stores located in the heart of Beach Haven on Long Beach Island, NJ across the street from each other.
One is located in an old movie theatre, the other in an old general store, and both are decorated in a beachy shabby chic style with architectural salvaged pieces displaying the products. They are centered around the art and philosophy of Sandy Gingras.
Both are filled with the artwork and products created by Sandy Gingras and also beautiful beachy home décor, jewelry, clothing, garden items and original finds. Our staff is wonderful and kind and helpful and will welcome a visit from you.
The Sandy Gingras Store
The online store features the gentle and happy artwork of Sandy Gingras — her card, prints, and books.
