Vintage Sack Pillows and Beach House Signs

I love vintage accents and inspirational quotes.  Combine the two with a coastal twist, along with a simple style that can be either casual or elegant and I'm really hooked!  I thought the vintage inspired sack pillows and box signs added to the store last week were beautifully simple in design and words.

The first pillow pictured doesn't exactly have a "beachy" quote; but it reminded me of some favorite beach memories like my first family vacation to the beach as a little girl to Wildwood, NJ.  Seeing the ocean for the first time and the boardwalk.  It also brought to mind a more recent beach first...

Tubing!  The picture is a little blurry.  Probably from a combination of the boat (and me) going back and forth and my son who was taking the picture and having a good laugh :)!  What fun!  Find the entire collection of Vintage Linen Sack Pillows at: http://www.thebeachhousestore.com/visapi.html.

You can just feel the sand and surf with these box signs made of wood with a weathered blue finish.  Versatile too!  Because the depth of the signs are 1.75", they can either hang on a wall or sit on a shelf.  Find the beach box signs at: http://www.thebeachhousestore.com/woodsigns.html.

More sack pillows and box signs to come in the following weeks.  Have a terrific weekend!

Happy Friday and My Coastal Pictures

A lot of the pictures I take are not very good.  Thank goodness for digital cameras!  But once in a while, I take a photo that I really like.  One that puts a smile on my face or makes me say, "Wow".  Here are a few of my coastal favorites:

Love lighthouses.  A picture of Cape Hatteras Lighthouse on the Outer Banks.

One of our beach house dogs playing in the sand and being a good sport for my then 10 year old.

One of my best photos and the easiest to take!  This was taken in Puerto Vallarta sitting on a lounge chair.  If you look closely, you can see a sailboat on the horizon.  I guess sometimes the best pictures are not well planned!

And to keep the smiling going, we're shifting our Salty Dog Friday to Happy Friday!  After all, why limit it when there are so many things about the sand and sea that make us smile?!  So, on Happy Fridays, post on our Facebook page what makes you smile about the beach for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate from The Beach House LLC.  It could be salty dogs (one of our personal favorites), flip flops, salt water taffy, anything beachy that makes you smile!  Happy Friday everyone!

Warmly,
