I am chasing away the winter blues today
With a cheery little table top
Cabo melamine plates came out to play
It can be warm if the wind does stop
Wind off the water can make it seem cold
But when the sun comes out things turn liquid gold
We’re so grateful we don’t have snow, we cheer!
It was the end of January when we were snowed in last year
With warmer temps and no rain in the forecast
We came to the coast for some alone time, at last
The winter sky is a little cloudy and gray
But you can still catch a good sunrise
or sunset many a day
Life is better here at the beach, you have to agree
There is just nothing more pleasant than a view of the sea
Here’s crazy HH doing his annual January “polar bear” dip [both air and water temps about 55 degrees]
Juicy Details
Try a cute rug for a table runner~this fun shaggy throw is set on a diagonal with mats on top
I am not a fan of plastic plates, but with 3 young grandchildren and an active outdoor lifestyle on the coast, DD decided it was time to get practical and she gave me a set of dinner and salad plates for Christmas. They are so pretty, they look like handmade ceramic plates~you can’t tell they are plastic until you pick them up~
Cabo melamine plates/Pottery Barn here
Rope outdoor dinnerware/Pottery Barn here
Mix patterns and pieces to keep things interesting. These flatware sets were purchased at discount stores [Home Goods and Olde Time Pottery I think] last year
Aqua bubble bowls/Home Goods last year
stemless “Life is better at the Beach” glasses/JMdesigns
Life is always better in watercolor too! Painting is quick and effortless with the Waterlogue app for iPad, iPhone
I hope the sun is shining wherever you are today!
