There’s nothing quite like
a house by the sea.
Living near the ocean is a luxury for most,
especially here in southern California,
but visiting the coast is only
a short ride away for me.
Living near the ocean is a luxury for most,
especially here in southern California,
but visiting the coast is only
a short ride away for me.
The air there is different.
The sounds around you are muffled
by the roar of the sea
and the moody coastal winds.
The beach kind of encloses you inside a bubble.
The rest of the world seems like a far off
thought.
I know I love going
to the beach to feel recharged.
Whether it’s a day at the beach
with the family,
or a quiet solitary walk,
the sound, air and water is
scientifically proven to be
a mood booster.
If you don’t live by the sea,
visiting a lake, river or waterfall
can have similar benefits.
Just being in touch with mother nature
grounds me gives me a
whole new outlook on the day!
“The cure for anything is salt
water:
sweat, tears or the sea.”
--Isak Dinesen
“Every time I stand before a
beautiful beach,
its waves seem to whisper to me:
If you choose the simple things
and find joy
in nature's simple treasures,
life and living need not be so hard.
--Psyche Roxas-Mendoza
“Look at that sea, girls--all
silver and shadow
and vision of things not seen.
We couldn't enjoy its loveliness
any more
if we had millions of dollars and
ropes of diamonds.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
“My soul is full of longing for
the secret of the sea,
and the heart of the great ocean
sends a thrilling pulse through
me.”
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
“The heart of man is very much
like the sea,
it has its storms, it has its
tides
and in its depths it has its
pearls too”
― Vincent van Gogh
“To judge a man by his weakest link or deed
is like judging the power of the ocean by one wave.”
― Elvis Presley
“One learns first of all in beach
living
the art of shedding;
how little one can get along
with,
not how much.
--Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Locally, I love walking in
and visiting Coronado Island.
Of course, Hilton Head is dear to my heart.
We've been visiting that glorious island
since we got married,
and it's always a nice change of pace
from our own fabulous beaches on the pacific.
As a young girl,
I spent a few summers in
Cape Cod, which was my first
real experience at the beach.
Such fun times!

While I’m here today, I wanted to share some of my "Tablescaping Essentials" with you. I have a whole page on the Amazon website with my favorite picks for setting a beautiful table.
Quite often time is of the essence, and I have last minute projects or events to work on, so I turn to Amazon for one or two day delivery. You’d be surprised at how many amazing items they have to offer! And I'm constantly updating this page with my new favorites.

La Jolla Cove and the beach at Carmel. Laguna has always tugged at my heart strings as well. ~~Carol in SD
