The Sea Found Me

I haven't made it to the seaside yet this summer….but that's okay, because the sea has found its way to me.  Sailed here in a little package of goodies from the south coast where my artist friend, Tara, lives.

She's painted me a picture (painted it specially for me - how about that?!) and stamped her LOVE into a tiny clay heart.  She's included a beautiful shell from the beach and a Polaroid of the sun setting over the waves (on the back was scribbled 'From the sea and the studio').  And the whole lot was tied up with nautical-coloured, washi tape bunting.

My shoreline treasures have been sitting on the table for several days now, luring me to the water.  I'll be there before the summer's out.  But, in the meantime, the Dixon Hill kitchen has a bit of a seasidey vibe.  Thank you, Tara!
