Feelin' Beachy...

It was a beautiful, warm week this week; a nice, sunny day gets me into a beachy groove... This time of year, it feels good to go into the living room and see soft colors and pretty shells.


Even SweetPea the cat likes the comfortable and casual beachy decor...



Here's the 'ol coffee table loaded with my favorite magazines and lots o shells...

Can't get enough of those shells! My boy, Buttons loves to lie in the sun in the courtyard--even when it's 90 plus degrees outside...
I saw the most beautiful picnic basket topped with a pile of sea shells the other day at a craft show in Brea; now I'm on a search for a picnic basket to make my own. It was just gorgeous, but I just couldn't bring myself to shell out 80 bucks for it!!!
I'm having fun making our home into a little sea cottage oasis; a place to rest and retreat. It's nice to have a place where I can be myself, let my hair down and let it all hang out (so to speak..).

  1. I love your cat's name. Sweet peas are one of my favorite flowers. So romantic and old-fashioned.
