I took a few early morning moments (when the sunlight is best for capturing pictures) to take a few snap shots of some of my favorite "beach" items and vignettes throughout our home. The shutter in the above photo (which I fell in love with because of its color) has since been moved to my living room - why oh why didn't I buy them both when I had the chance?
I bought this adorable table at a charming little shop called Counting Sheep while we were out one day for a Sunday afternoon drive. See what I mean about the shutter.... looks great here as well.....if only I had its twin...
I know.... the white board needs something written on it - but.... I misplaced the dry marker and I refuse to write on it with anything permanent.
I bought the "Beach House" sign a while back from Cheryl's shop. Take the time to check out her blog (My Whimsical Victorian Chic Cottage ) .... you'll be glad you did!
This was once a simple straw wreath that I transformed by wrapping it in lace and gluing on buttons and sea shells.
This sailboat print is a new addition - it was the bead board background look that sold me.
This is one of my favorite candles, and again....when will I ever learn to buy more than one of something I love!?!?
