As I was saying "so long" to the beach, I decided to snap some photos of our view from the house we stayed in. I thought this photo ended up looking pretty cool through the screen door.

The beach house we're staying at in Isle of Palms has a collection of conch shells along the railing on the back porch. There has to be at least thirty of them. I can't believe that many have been found...since none of my family have found any shells worthy of displaying. If we don't find our own by the end of the week, I'd say there is a good chance the beach house may be short one from their collection...shhh, let's keep that as our little secret.

Baby feet in baby crocs. My little niece, Ailyn, has these cute little pink crocs that she is sporting everywhere at the beach. She just looks so cute and hip in her pink kicks!

Well at least for a week! I am off to the South Carolina shore tomorrow with my folks and my brother's clan...five kiddos! It won't be a relaxing vacation but it will be a lot of fun. Hopefully I will look as cute in my suit as this little girlie...probably not though. I may post a blog while I'm away...but if not, have a lovely week!

· summer is officially here ·

I just had a few of these lovelies with a little vanilla ice cream and chocolate chips. Yum! I got these from the farmer's market this weekend...actually I waited in a line for about ten minutes to get these black raspberries...but it was worth it. I love summer fruits & berries!

This is my favorite necklace. I wear it all the time and I always receive lots of compliments! I am proud to say that my best friend is the creator of this lovely piece of jewelry. How cool is that?! I own several of her pieces but this is one of my favorites. Her designs are little pieces of art...stop by her web boutique to say hi and to check out the rest of her beautiful creations: odette

Ever wonder what wine to serve with a certain dish? Well wonder no longer...the makers of Wine That Loves have made it easy! As you can see above, they have designed their bottles to take the guess-work out of wine pairing. I love the simple and whimsical designs! I have yet to try, but hopefully what's inside the bottle will be as great as what's on the outside of the bottle!

· wallpaper of sorts ·

I usually go to Veer for cool desktop wallpapers...but I recently found this place for some lovely typography inspired wallpapers. Just thought I'd share...now you have no excuse if you're using one of your computer's default images...change it up, be creative!
