I LOVE summer! Love having the kiddos out of school… adore the beach… love the easier schedule… love it all. A few week’s ago while browsing one of my favorite catalogs, Pottery Barn… love them ~ I saw some super cute beach signs & decided to create my own inspired signs.
I picked a few of our favorite beaches… Huntington Beach, Coronado Island and Newport Beach…. all local So. Cal. beaches we love spending time at.

Happy Monday friends! There is something about rope that makes my mind wander to the sea. I love adding that nautical element in my summer décor. I thought it would be fun to look back at a few summer projects I’ve done using rope.

Happy Friday friends! I love succulents… mainly because they are next to impossible to kill.
I thought putting some in the Pottery Barn’ish hanging mason jars would be perfect!
