What goes through your mind when you think of summer?
For me…it’s a few hours at the beach.
Today I’m over at Homework sharing how you can enjoy time some beach time, even if you’re many miles away.
Please stop by Carolyn’s and check out my post. And check out her extraordinarily creative blog.

Hi Diane! I absolutely love the beach and am heading there on vacation next week. 🙂 Thank you so much to you and the ladies for hosting the party – have a happy week!
I just left this message on Homework and then realized that Carolyn is not the one who created the beach vignette so I am leaving you the message now.
I just linked up to Lavender Garden Cottage and I smiled when I saw you beach vignette. I just finished redoing our mantel with shells. And, I created a beach on a shell platter. I was washing a glass bowl full of sand and shells so I poured everything onto newspaper while I washed the bowl. It all looked so pretty when it was spread out that I couldn’t bear to just put it in the bowl.
All of that sand and the shells are quite special. The entire lot – sand and all – was brought back from the Maldives in 2001 when my husband was on a surf trip. When he and his buds planned the trip, we didn’t make the connection that our 30th wedding anniversary would fall in the 3 week window of the boat trip. So, those shells and the sand were my anniversary present since there was nowhere for him to buy any presents.
Happy Summer and enjoy your beach!
Thanks for hosting … hopping over to Homework to check out your beach ideas…
