Lee Garone lives in Lake Oswego, Oregon with her husband and two teenage daughters. Trained as an interior designer, Lee’s opulent Georgian-style home has been featured in two publications. Her specialty is English and French style.

However, while visiting friends at their beach homes on the Oregon coast, she became interested in elegant ways to decorate with seashells. Her friends, birthday was coming up and she wanted to give a special gift, something with her initial. After a little experimentation, she found the combination of seashells, sparkling Swarovski crystals, and vintage jewelry (gathered from years of going to estate sales} to be a winning combination. As other friends quickly requested them one after another, she knew she was on to something special. One friend’s request was to incorporate a beloved grandmother’s brooch, which made it a heartwarming keepsake.

Lee’s design principle is “too much is never enough, meaning every surface and detail is considered. Nothing is overdone, but everything plays a role in each individually orchestrated piece. Each Sea Jewel initial is an original piece of artwork, signed and dated, and copyrighted by the designer. They are available in two sizes, small (approx. 6 inches) and large (approx. 9.5 inches).

Dragonheart Family Healthcare Makes a Short Move

This September, Dragonheart Family Healthcare will be undertaking what is probably the shortest move ever…across the hall. We will still be located in the beautifully restored Kirwen Building in the Gilbert District in Seaside, but now our patients can enjoy an inspiring view of the Necanicum River when they come to our new, larger space in 615 Broadway, Suite 216.

Dragonheart Family Healthcare, LLC provides comprehensive naturopathic care, acupuncture and classical Chinese medicine, and physical medicine. The practice is co-owned by Seth Goldstein, a chiropractic physician, and Margaret Hammitt-McDonald, a naturopathic physician and licensed acupuncturist. When we’re not in the office, you might encounter us making our way there on our bright red recumbent cycles, taking a lunchtime walk on the beach, hiking on a nearby trail on weekends, paddling our inflatable kayaks in Nehalem Bay, or on stage in a community theater production. We believe that staying active, being creative, and having fun are essential to good health.

Office hours are Tuesday through Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM. Our phone number is (503) 738-9901.
