our newest vendors:
Donna and Joanie!
Joanie Singer and Donna Swain-McHughes are the creative duo behind Seaside Solstice Studios, brought together by their shared love of the beach and ocean. Though each built her own company over the years, their collaboration beautifully blends their talents into one coastal-inspired collection.
Their handcrafted pieces incorporate shells, sand, driftwood, sea glass, and pottery shards, nature’s treasures thoughtfully transformed into jewelry, frames, teacup candles, trinket dishes, hair accessories, and striking sea glass art.
Each piece captures the texture and tranquility of the shoreline, offering a little touch of the coast to carry home with you.
Stop in and discover the beauty of Seaside Solstice Studios at Whistle Stop.
Family, friendship, and the spirit of giving make this season magical. May your holidays be filled with love, laughter, and light.
In a world that rarely slows down, a recent feature on Bloom (Tampa Bay) on WFLA Channel 8 captured something truly special at Lutz Whistle Stop Depot.
Host Amber Freeman joined Whistle Stop Tea Room proprietor Sara Wright and co-owner Ryan Martin for a relaxed conversation over a thoughtfully prepared cup of tea, highlighting the simple joy of connection.
The segment highlights how this charming, tucked-away destination offers more than just a place to sip tea, it’s an experience rooted in community, conversation, and taking a moment to breathe.
