coastal stripes

hello..welcome to a new week.


blue and white stripes..the colours of the coast. 
always in style whether you live near the beach or not. 


the weather's getting a bit fresh in the mornings but the days are warm, the beaches less crowded. still time to sneak in a swim or 2 before winter.

grab a towel on your way out..








what is it we all love about blue and white?

    It's the sea and the white sand......
    so fresh and cool. That's probably why we love it so much.
    Is this your house......it looks so nice......

    I don't know what it is about blue and white, but I love the crispness of the pairing - there are some who say that blue is too cold to have in your house, but I disagree - my home is filled with blue & white, and I don't think it's a cold place!

    Lovely photos! I too am partial to blue and white stripes. I love your little sail boats too. I'm hoping to make some with driftwood I found on the beach with my boys.

    The little sailboat is so charming. Wish I was near the
    ocean that was that beautiful.

    I would love to use an oar out by our pool for hanging towels! Can you share with me how you attached the knobs/hooks? I am concerned I might split the wood. Thanks so much!
