dinner at the beach
no plates
no washing up
no sand in your sushi please boys
treasure found at stash and treasure
hoarders unite
old things find new homes
new things find old homes
possibilities… possibilities…
now that’s the kind of shopping I like

What beautiful beach photos. We’ve been having dinner down at the beach this summer too. It’s such a great thing to do with young boys. All very low-key and relaxing.

We need to do it more often!

oh I love those sunflower plates – I have a few and love them on dinnerware – we are off to the beach soon and I can’t wait – those photos make me want to dive in – funny it is now sushi at the beach – in my day it was fish and chips and probably will be again soon
quiet weekend – blogging to avoid cleaning the pantry but must get myself over there

ah, theres no fun in cleaning the pantry Johanna 😉
The Monkeys will eat fish and chips if they have to, but numero uno is always sushi.

It’s snowing- I’m baking and reading and looking out the window.
Thanks for the view of the beach.
And the treasures!

I know that beach!! I really did visit your neck of the woods when I was over in Sydney last year 🙂
Your weekend sounds delightful. I’ll look forward to seeing those plates feature underneath your creations…and are those table runners? Or table cloths? Or just gorgeous bits of fabric for general use? They are gorgeous at any rate.

I wondered whether you would recognise it Kari 🙂
Fabric was a mixture of a couple of pillow cases, retro sheeting cut into squares, and a six metre stash of some heavy duty material. Not sure what I’ll do with them yet, but I do like having possibilities.

Most everything in the garden is frozen solid, so I’m not stepping out there for fear that I’ll go all frosty too. :). but honestly, enjoyed a few dreamy hours at the garden centre, did some baking, took a drive along Beachy Head near Brighton, and a walk along the promenade at Eastbourne. That was Saturday. Today is Sunday. Another day, another adventure. 😀

Loved the boys a-leaping! And loved the sight of bare feet and beach as a powdery gentle snow is falling here. And the whole idea of sharing what was once ours…or trading it for something that was once “theirs”…it’s all pretty beautiful.

ah..how lovely..a carefree dinner at the beach..a break from the usual routine..a bit of ozone..and sand..and a salty taste on the lips..
and i love your treasures especially the plates..my son and i had coffee together yesterday and he was telling me about the trip he and his girlfriend had just returned from..the part where he told me that they had stopped off at every op shop on the way caused me to ponder on what treasures they missed (for me) 🙂
