Beach Relaxation

About this time of the year, I start yearning for those long summer days where everything seems to slow down. Where you get a chance to actually take a break from work to relax and restore.

But, while we all wait for the warmer weather, enjoy a few pictures.

Cottage Flowers are Blooming-- soon, I hope :)

It's cold and blustery here in Chicago, so I'm hoping I can prompt an early Spring by posting some photos of beautiful beach blooms.

Think Spring!

Cottage Candles

I love candles for all sorts of different occasions.  But, there's nothing like relaxing by candlelight and listening to the sound of the waves.

New England

One of my favorite places to visit is New England.

I'm particularly enchanted with Cape Cod and the Islands - Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket- , but all of new England is just charming.

Coastal Comfort

One of the things I love most about the beach, is the easy-going style you get to enjoy in beach homes.
Most of the furniture is designed for comfort.  Slip covers, cozy blankets, and lots and lots of pillows.
