the magazine i grabbed and toted to nauset was a current martha stewart living, i hadn't perused her pages in some time. and her summer magazines have been calling me. martha being so completely inspiring in her own way, had beach thoughts as well. except she has pulled together some fabulous and unique ideas of bringing a bit of the beach back home to stay for a while. i thought i'd share. it's helping me this morning to keep those sounds of the ocean, feel of the sand, the crystal cold clear water washing over me...on my mind this monday morning, as i'm cleaning the shop, answering e-mails and ordering product. enjoy these beachy ideas with me this morning. hoping you had as relaxing a weekend as me :) enjoy!
