Nautical Treasures at Target.

What a week it has been - my internet went down with the storm on Tuesday and I just got it back today.  Then as soon as the internet came back the power went out - good times.  I'm also watching Rach's pug Olive this week while she is in Italy with her husband.  Lucky girl!  Having a 1 yr old puppy and my 11 year old pug Scout together is constantly enertaining/maddening.  All Olive wants to do is play with Scout and Scout is just not interested.  So Olive just follows Scout around  barking and biting her in the butt to get her attention until she wears herself out.  Scout was the same way when she was a puppy and really didn't lose her puppy-like energy until she was about 10 years old.  They are so sweet together when they are sleeping!  In an attempt to escape the dog drama I went over to Target to pick up a few things and found these super cute tumblers.


I couldn't resist the anchors and crab on these cups - they had my name all over them.


Love these water bottles - could be the perfect thing to send to my nieces at camp - got to get some care packages together.  Cheap thrills!


A peaceful moment for Olive and Scout lounging with my nephew Max.  Here's hoping the weekend is more like this!

Say hello to the newest dog in the family!


Our nephew Max has his first dog!  He is a sweetie and full of energy - already his loyal companion!


And he is super cute too!  Love those big ears!

is for Nautical.




We love all things nautical!
Growing up on the water had such an impact on me. Water has such a calming effect. I am always drawn to images and events that take place near the water. Lakes, oceans, rivers...they all are so comforting. A great escape! I absolutely love old nautical flags, boats, and anchors-they are built to survive all kinds of weather and look better as time goes by!

Love these wooden boats at the dock! Reminds me of the boat Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn had in On Golden Pond, one of my favorite movies!

Such a stunning photograph!
Love this cake with the nautical flags!

A beachside bar with beautiful flags.

What cute place cards these little handmade sailboats would make!

Love this boat in the library!
Wouldn't it be great to have a wedding band in here for a reception! My friend Jill is getting married at a charming little yacht club-I think they need a boat like this in the library where the band is playing!


These rowboats look so lovely floating in the water.


I absolutely love these sailboat cupcake toppers! So cute for a party!

So peaceful and serene! This looks like a wonderful weekend retreat!


I love these bags-they are made by a Maine company called Seabags! They recycle old sails and turn them into these beautiful totes!


Relaxing with friends on the sea!
