she sells sea shells...

Amelie @ Beach 5/10


Funny how a little girl, born in Utah, was destined to be a beach babe.

Or maybe it isn't strange at all. Her family is beachy through and through. She must have picked us with this in mind. It's still a little chilly at the seaside, but that doesn't stop us.

It's been a while since I had a give away. Let's have another, just for kicks. Waddaya say?


starfish necklace giveaway

Leave a comment to enter to win the above necklace. It is made with rough cut aquamarine beads and silver. The center stone is amazonite. If you take a fancy to this piece, and really pine to win, twitter about the giveaway and I'll throw your name in the hat twice. Blog about it and you are in it thrice. Make sure to let me know your doings so you get your rightful comeuppance.

And if you aren't lucky, don't despair. I'm unlucky too. You aren't alone. Pop over to the shop and see what lovelies are to be had there.

Beauties such as these "Mermaid Earrings":

Oh and FYI, embroidery patterns coming soon to a blog near you. In keeping with today's theme, here's the mermaid from my High Seas set.

    I also love the beach, any body of water really. Born and raised in Phoenix will do that to a girl - water is a luxury.

    And I just have to say that I stumbled on your blog on the day that you first posted about "birth" moms. I have a sister who has shared a similar experience and I was deeply touched by your words. I copied and sent them to my entire family. THANK YOU!!!!

    I think everyone was destined to be a beach babe or bum. Its just that not everyone gets to be or even knows. Living up in Utah now and meeting people who have never even seen the ocean is terrible! Yay for summer/beach!

    Oh I do so love the beach! It makes your lovely give-away so much the better! We homeschool and therefor indulge in a month at the beach in the Fall if we can afford it. It's still hot enough to swim, but the crowds are all gone home. *sigh*
