Beach and Bags

We went to the beach yesterday, funny enough we hardly go to the beach during the Summer.
It is just too hot to stay long and too crowded to actually find something or to enjoy it as much as we enjoy it during the Winter months.

I had just finished two beach totes so used the opportunity to take pictures of them on the beach :)

While the views are gorgeous we were frustrated by how much garbage people leave behind once they had their day on the beach, it seems people come to eat and do not care about the mess they leave behind :(

About the totes; they are made of linen and have machine embroidered anchors. The straps are upcycled leather, riveted to the bag. They have a fun anchor charm for a fun finishing touch.

The heat has gotten to me this year, and I am looking forward to cooler times when the beaches are ours again, calm and clean.

Both anchor bags are available at StarBags.

Bliss and Blessings

When the weather allows we always go out for a nice Sunday Brunch on Sunday with a friend. It is kind of a ritual for quite some time.
The places we go to eat are a bit out of town, closer to nature.

With birds staring at us while we are eating :)

Lush greens and forests are the way to the beaches which are of course our destination.

We enjoy the sun, fresh air and calmness but always do some exercise by bending a whole bunch of times to collect treasures.

We had the beach to ourselves this Sunday.

Better yet we found an incredible amount of small green urchins, yaaay! We had our green sea urchin earrings not in stock for about 2,5 years as we did not have the right urchins and mother nature was not giving any. Now we can finally remake them, this is really rare to find so many and especially in this size :)

Sunny Sunday

Yesterday we kind of had a perfect day. After several weeks of Christmas season business and mum hurting herself with a nasty fall in the garden a few weeks ago and damaging a few ribs very badly in the process, we haven't gone to the beach in weeks and really needed some fresh air and a break.

The weather was amazing, sunny and warm, in the middle of December, we are really lucky, we know :) Also we had the entire beach for our selves, such luxury!

The sea was clear and calm, the sand had pretty motives.

Everything shiny and fresh.

And picturesque still-lives to boot.

Olive was enjoying it too, running around, always a joy to watch a happy doggy :)

 
A little sweet water stream.

Today we woke up to a dark clouded sky and it has been raining all day, the rain is very welcome but I'm happy that it waited a day :)

We of course went home with some lovely shells and driftwood :)

Enjoying the Sea

It is funny that although we go to the beach very often in any season to find treasures for our work. We actually hardly ever just enjoy the beach and sea, having a swim and relaxing a bit. The beach somehow turned in to work for us, as soon as we arrive start searching and once we have combed the beach we just leave, pretty ridiculous when you think of it!

The other day I actually really enjoyed the sea, for the first time this year I actually got myself wet in it :) I swam and relaxed and enjoyed myself, we should do this more often!

I took these with my camera mask, you never know what comes out of it when you get home which makes it fun and tricky to take some descent pictures, but these turned out pretty nice.

That's me, relaxing :)

And the sun through the sea, I really should do this more often I even enjoyed making this blog post about it :)
