My parents are now at their beach cottage at OBX. So needless to say I am green with envy. As I trudge into work everyday I just get to dream of that lovely beach smell and sinking my toes in some sand. Oh summer…I already miss you so! I would be remiss without mentioning my favorite eatery Tortugas Lie. If you go--get the fish tacos and a Corona. Mmmmmm. Delicious!

**Okay, so the picture my seem a bit random but these beautiful little fuzzy buds were everywhere in North Carolina this summer. I just had to show them off. I have to figure how to work this bud into some earrings!

Well with my first week back to school it can suffice to say that summer as I know it is over and as always… it is terribly bitter sweet. I miss my lazy summer days of hanging out with my family, sipping coffee in the morning and the luxury of just putzing around the house. So I thought I would reminisce and share a photo or two of our trip to the Outer Banks.
***Note for crafters*** While at the beach I must have a project and I love to make handmade critters for my daughter. I thought I would share a project from a lovely book "Sock and Glove" --check it out if you get a chance.
