Weekly Edit: Coastal Favs
Weekly Edit: Coastal Favs
Sharing what caught my eye this week and it spans from home to fashion as well as some Marie & Oakley jewelry & paintings.
This chandelier is stunning and was pleasantly surprised it is by a designer, Louise Gaskill, just down the road in Raleigh, North Carolina. Looking for another coastal option, this chandelier still has my heart.
Did you see that Society Social went to Round Top? I’m obsessed with their set up as well as their new collection featuring my favorite hues of blue and green. I have my eye on a couple of items for our home, such as this minty green console.
I finally spent my birthday gift cards and treated myself to a couple of things from Anthropologie. This mushroom lamp is actually a candle and I want all the colors and sizes now. Plus I picked up this cookbook.
In case you didn’t know, I have been designing jewelry for a couple of decades now. Yes, I know! I’m old. But I am so grateful that my hands and eyes are still allowing me to create things I love. Go check out these lovely aquamarine lovelies!
This Oysters on the Half Shell is one of my first paintings and is one of my best selling prints. I am so humbled that some of you would want to hang one of my paintings in your home.I am a self taught artist and definitely have much to learn but am diving into painting by keeping a daily art journal.
Swooning over these rattan and wicker pieces from Society Social and again have my eye on a couple of pieces. Plus, I love they are just down the road in Hickory, North Carolina. I am on a mission to support local or small businesses, especially if they are in North Carolina.
Aren’t these whimsical ocean-inspired plates the cutest? Tablescaping is one of my favorite things to do but I don’t necessarily have the room or the funds to purchase all the dinnerware collections I love. So my trick is to purchase salad plates or bowls that will intermingle with my cream or white dinnerware collections. It’s a great trick and allows me to mix and match, as needed.
I have shared this little fish rug before but had to share again. I am eyeing this rug for our dining room and may make the commitment soon. Stay tuned!
Friday Favs: Making Lemonade Out Of Lemons
Friday Favs are back with a twist! We are making lemonade out of lemons. Or should I say limoncello. Plus, now you can shop everything below or via my Shop My link. Here’s where I need to let you know this post includes affiliate links. Hope that’s OK with you!
But enough about the business side of things.
I fell in love with this Morris & Co. Lemon Tree wallpaper. Isn’t it beautiful? Note the hints of turquoise. And it got me dreaming about a cute beach cottage with a sunny bright lemony kitchen. So I pulled together some sunny items that caught my eye this week. You can shop the limoncello collection or shop via the carousel below.
Friday Favs: Feeling Salty
Friday Favs: Feeling Salty
Feeling a little salty but not necessarily for the reasons you may think. Last week my husband started feeling poorly and on Friday tested positive for Covid. He’s find and recovering well but I succumbed to the virus earlier this week. It’s been a week of disappointments as we had to skip a weekend out of town that we had been looking forward to since September. My husband’s dream has been to see George Strait in concert before he retires so we were thrilled that Charlotte was one of his stops a very limited 2024 tour. Unfortunately he wasn’t well enough to go but we were blessed enough to sell the tickets and get a full refund.
I had to cancel some important meetings and put off some fun social events as well. And needless to say between caring for him and then getting sick, I haven’t had much time to create. But I have had quite.a bit of screen time so I did pull together some favs to kick off the summer. Leaning into blue and a coral-red to try to chase away my blues!
Cheers to the weekend, summer and hopefully good health! Thanks for taking a look around and drop a comment below and let me know what you think. Hopefully I will be feeling better next week as I have some new projects on the horizon.
Friday Favs: Green With Envy
The Butterfly Sandals from Anthropologie caught my eye and inspired this week’s Friday Favs. It’s a bit of a departure from my love of turquoise but still found a tee with a touch of my favorite color. Hope you will find something you like.
Friday Favs: Summer Mood
Summer is on my mind and I am dreaming of sunny skies and turquoise oceans. I definitely need some time in my happy place! In the meantime, I am sharing what caught my eye this week. Big news this week, I am feeling brave and adding my original artwork for sale. A couple of weeks ago, I took a leap of faith and featured my artwork alongside my jewelry. And much to my surprise I sold my paintings than jewelry.

Friday Favs: Be Our Guest
Taking a different approach for this week’s Friday Favs. Taking a hard look around our home lately and I realized I never share our guest bedroom with you. And I had an ah-ha moment! It’s not really on brand and as camera-ready as I would like. So I pulled together a few mood boards and would love to get your thoughts.
Serene.
Loving the soft and soothing color palette and textures.
Sunny.
I love our little home, especially during spring, as I it feels like a tree house and we can see the beautiful sunrises from the space. This sunny color palette and natural textures would be a perfect match.
Romantic.
I’m having a pink moment in my life lately. And what better place to experiment with something new. I think I would paint the walls a very blushy pink. Maybe the palest pulled from the pillow.
Nautical.
A little more moody with the navy pinstriped upholstered bed. Our guest bedroom is a small space which is why I kept all the other elements light and bright.
So which do you prefer? Would love your help with designing our guest bedroom. Drop a comment below!
Serene
Sunny
Romantic
Nautical
