Happy Weekend Everyone!!

I spent the most glorious first day of Spring romping, running and swinging with my boys at our most favorite place on earth...
It was heavenly..
To smell treasures from the sea washed ashore ..
To feel the newly thawed earth gently move under our feet..
 To see tiny green shoots emerge through rusty brittle leaves..
To taste the salty sea on our lips..
To hear  the sound of waves lapping against the deserted beach..

It was just enough to get my battery going once again...
You see..
 I need ALL my energy in the next coming weeks to create a fabulous wedding invitation suite for the lovely Michaela & Mike..
And..
even though I may be inside watching these early Spring days through my window..
with every cut to the paper..
I will be dreaming of..
 warm gentle breezes under a summer starry sky listening to the sounds of laughter while breathing in the salty sea air of Cape Cod..
 
 Be Safe, Spring Ahead and Have a Great Weekend!!

Gifts from the Sea....

The Lilacs and Peonies have done their Springly duties..

gracing us with beauty & scent.

As summer approaches (just a mere 12 days to be exact!) it's time to pick up those last pesky strands of Easter grass and bring out the gifts from the sea...

The Monster and I are HUGE collectors and LOVE to create our own little vignettes throughout the house..

It makes us feel as though we are real life adventurers..traveling the seas and bringing home our treasures.

Each one carries it's own distinct memory..

They are like books telling a tale and shall never leave the bookcase!
