Best Beach Bags

Now that the hot, hazy days of August are here what better tote to take to the beach than these? They are all one of a kind, amazingly created by my friend Jane of Maiden Jane. I was truly honored to be asked by Jane to create the sailboat graphic that she used on these totes. To see these oversized beach totes and more click here.

I saw these two new listings this morning by Dreamy Vintage on Etsy and had to share! Now that we are in the middle of summer these would make such a delightful accessory to any summer outfit!

Apatelodes torrefacta

Having never seen one of these amazing fluffy critters before I was completely fascinated. I think I took close to 100 photos. It was so difficult to get one that was in focus. The images below are a few of my favorites. I was able to identify it as Apatelodes torrefacta.

   

Stripes

These adorable straws were sent to me by Carrie at cdk designs and all I could think about was lemonade so I took some photos with lemons! I had the best time shooting these. Carrie was so generous and sent me a bunch of goodies from her fab store including a magnet, ribbon, striped bags and the striped straws. Check out the close ups of the straws and bags below and don't forget to visit her store on etsy.
