Friday...

end of the week...

And end of the month!
July is leaving San Clemente without giving us
even one day of real California warmth,
not even one real beach day!


We now sit and hope that August will be a little more generous...

Have a creative weekend full of color, glitter and hopefully...sun!!

First of all, we need to apologize for what we are going to write but....

The weather has been so amazingly warm and nice and sunny that it has been impossible to resist...we have been in a "beach mood"!
We know, we know, where you are is cold and covered in snow....sorry!!

Accept our little project as the best way we know to send warm thoughts your way....

Large Finger Starfish Tassels

Sand and ocean colors for one...

...and blue Cali sky shades for the other one...

Don't you feel a lot warmer now?
We know you do, even if you don't admit it!!!

Down by the beach...

...nests can be sunny yellow...

or sage green...

...maybe taupe....

...any shade or blue....

...even pink....

...or be totally covered on ivy!

But they all have one thing in common...
charm!

Just wanted to show you a little bit of our beach town today...
The last picture is our friend M's front door.
Her house will be featured in the December issue of Romantic Homes...don't miss it!
She has beautiful Americana and a great eye for display...you'll be inspired!

Friday Fun...

It's sunny and hot in San Clemente...
... and the water is perfect...

We promise we'll be back,

...but if you really need us,
you know where to find us!

See you all on Sunday for another Sunday Shadow Shot!

Are you coming?

You know you don't need a formal invitation....

Just pack your suitcases...

No, wait! that's too many clothes...all you need is a couple of bathing suits, cute sundresses and comfy flip flops!!!...we keep it casual around here....Yes, that's better!...

... your sunscreen and some makeup will fit perfectly on your vintage Samsonite case!...

Oh!...and don't forget the hat box with a big hat!

The weather has been perfect...and the beaches are not packed yet!

Come on, hurry down to San Clemente....we'll have a great girl time!....

....And we'll send you back to Husband and Little Ones rested, happy and with plenty of goodies for everyone!

Let's enjoy this warm beautiful weather while it lasts...even if we have to do it the cyber-way!!!

She sells sea shells...

"She sells sea shells"

She sells sea shells on the sea shore;

The shells that she sells are sea shells, I'm sure

So if she sells sea shells on the sea shore,

I'm sure that the shells are sea shore shells!

Oh come on!...let's hear it one more time...She sells sea shells....just kidding!

Have a fantastic week end!
