Beachy Keen

I was feeling very Springy today and wore a pink button-up dress and my pink Spring jacket that I recently thrifted in Chicago. It was perfect pink weather! I worked all day in this beautiful little town:

I love working in a small historic town. After work, I picked up Sandi and we drove up the coast to Rehoboth beach to do some visiting and some shopping.
Rehoboth is only about 45 minutes north of where I live but I feel like I never head up that way. It’s like a treat to go there! They have fantastic restaurants, cultural personalities, and wonderful shopping. I actually made sure to partake in all of the above while there for a few hours tonight. The beach was brilliant. Warm, desolate, and just what I needed after being cooped up and working all day.

I honestly cannot tell you how much I love living near the beach. I feel like I’m the luckiest girl alive sometimes to have such beauty and zen only 5 miles from my home. I’ve spoiled myself (and my pets) and hope that we never have to move anywhere where there isn’t a beach. The water is the best pick-me-up.

p.s. Read this quote from Lucy Liu today, “Everything I buy is vintage and smells funny. Maybe that’s why I don’t have a boyfriend.” Love it.

10 Things I Love

1.) This beautiful Black Swan vs. White Swan bridal inspired photoshoot by Jessica Claire and a large team. Love the ballet shots, too! Gorgeous.

2.) Pretty pink house, you are so dreamy. (Source.)
3.) Pretty pink kitchen, please park yourself in my home. (Source & Source.)
4.) Alex Madonna’s Gold Rush looks just devine! Pink everything while eating great food… sounds like the perfect dining experience.
5.) Bread and Badger pint glasses! In honor of Saint Patrick’s Day… I’d obviously have to have the mermaid so no one would accidentaly steal my pint!

6.) Stamping my already gross, yet most comfortable, painting clothes with my name. When I’m exhausted and in a crafting craze its okay to craft yourself, right?

7.) Lipstick Queen lip glosses! These are, no lie, the BEST lip glosses I have ever used. I scooped some up off of the sale rack at Anthro the last time I was in Annapolis. They are lightweight, deliver mega color, and pocket sized, and last a relatively long time. I highly recommend!

8.) Isn’t this China tea wear lamp just darling? Saw the DIY on DesignSponge and am going to start collecting teacups ASAP… I can’t drill through any of my collection now seeing as I love each cup so much! This could be a problem considering I fall in love with every dainty teacup I see.
9.) I’m going to buy these the next time I’m in Lancaster and stop at my favorite store, Mommalicious. These cute thimble earrings are made my My Aunt Debbie. Great gift for the seamstress in your life! (hint, hint)
10.) This beehive stained glass window. It’s delicate and lovely! I look at it every time I go to my bank in Berlin, MD. Apparently these windows are original to the building and are from 1943. Pretty neat, right?
