Seashells, Seashells By the Sea Shore

We just got back from our vacation at  Turks & Caicos.  We had jaw dropping weather and views.  One of our objectives was to collect our beloved seashells from the white, limestone colored beaches.  We were unable to take home the heavily guarded Conch shells that are prevalent there, but we came home happy with lots of photos and sand dollars. 

The cerulean blue water against the white sands, vibrant greens palms and bright colored tropical flowers are timeless. 
The object of my desire this summer is to recreate this tropical feel in centerpieces, and vignettes for
 backyard patio soirees and inside our home.

It Works!

Yeah! I posted my first blog yesterday, all be it short and sweet.  I ran into a small glitch that I fixed this afternoon but I am cookin' now!  I even figured out how to post the pics. although they are not the size or arrangement I would have deemed.  I am a bit of a layout freak...but I am taking baby steps here.  I have admired a few design blogs and feel that I have plenty of  design knowledge to provide readers with.  So here I am in my late 30's, looking to breakout  into the blog world, 2010 will be an exciting year, so stay tuned!

Lilly Pulitzer Home

One of my fav catalogs is "Garnet Hill" I was so excited to see that Lilly Pulitzer has an exclusive home line for Garnet Hill.  As you well know I LOVE the beach and her new "Treasure Chest" quilt and shams look so crisp and fresh.
