I wish I did, too. I grew up in West Michigan, only a few minutes away from Lake Michigan, and then moved to the desert in Albuquerque 3 years ago! I miss it SO much!
Is this the little cove at Corona Del Mar Beach? I used to go there as a kid with my parents for every beach trip. There used to be a cave that my dad would walk us through, but the last time I was there it was totally closed up and full of sand.
You can come to my house and we can go to the beach together anytime :O)
multiple summer beach trips is a must , i try and get cute to go almost every weekend. when we wake up and he asks me what i would like to do i simply say “beach”, and we see how it goes from there. 🙂
yes, when in SoCal, the beach is a must. the ocean is just so mesmerizing, and it salty ocean air makes me a less cranky. hahha! we were at Laguna beach on Saturday, and the waves were huge! but it was all good. Good fun with family.
i LOVE this polaroid. it reminds me of my honeymoon.
new york weather is so ridiculously gloomy right now. rain is the only thing in the forecast. it really makes me miss california and having the beach 5 minutes away.
this picture makes me happy. 🙂

I have a large growing pile of fabric scraps. I refuse to throw them away because I am sure they can be used for something. I have been seeing different types of interesting necklaces made of buttons, beads, and fabric. Then, I figured why not make one out of my scraps...
I think it made my white shirt a little less boring. This was so quick and easy to make.
How to make a recycled scraps necklace (which is very similar to the straps on my braided tablecloth bag):
1. Take your scrap fabric, I cut a .5''-1'' snip and tear the rest of the fabric down for a nice frayed edge. Used 3 different fabrics for each strand.
2. Take 3 of the torn pieces and tie the ends together with a rubber band.
3. Braid the 3 pieces together and tie ends together with rubber band when done.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for more strands. Remember you can make the strands any length you want, if run out of fabric, just weave more into the braid.
5. Once all the strands you want are braided, gather one end of each strand together and straight stitch together with sewing machine. Repeat for the other ends of the strands. Snip off any excess.
6. Gather ends of the necklace and sew together (snip excess) or a ribbon can be sewn at the ends to be able to tie the necklace closed, but I just sewed both ends together.
7. Voila! A nice way to make use of all your lovely scraps.
Sorry if the directions get you a little lost, but it really is easy. I promise. Maybe I should put some in the shop. Please share any other good ideas you may have of things that can be made with scraps. I would love to hear (read) them!

I do miss the beach. We were about 45 minutes away growing up in So Cal. Now it's a vacation, not just a day trip.
Have you ever been to the Gulf..Alabama or Florida? Ah the sugary sand is hard to beat.
