#1. Antique Silver Seashells–beautiful! Caron’s Beach House.
#2. How fabulous is this Etched Botanical Glassware? My Sparrow.
#3. This Derby Side Table wants to come live in my bedroom: Greige.
#4. Mary Kay Andrews sent me her new novel Summer Rental, about three friends who rent a beach house and get more than they bargained for. I couldn’t put it down! (Love Mary Kay–and her Tybee Island Cottage, too.)
#5: These measuring bowls make me want to bake something: Timeless Settings.
These are some of my favorite things in my sponsors’ stores right now, and the novel was sent to me for review. Thanks for visiting them!

I don’t know why but I’m loving the silver seashells.
Love… Love… Love… The antique silver seashells! Going over to check out that post right now!
I am SO envious you got to read “Summer Rental” already!! Mary Kay Andrews is one of my very favorite authors. Is the book as humorous as her others? So excited for it to hit the stores.
I love silver seashells too! I’ve bought a ton at Ross and they are always on clearance at like $5. My starfish looks just like that one! I have to force myself not to buy them anymore because I have too many.
Love the silver seashells! I’ve wanted to try my hand at silver leafing some shells for quite some time now, and it’s still on my “to do” list.
Those are all such beauties! Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!
I’m going for the silver shells!
Aren’t they cute? Maybe you don’t need too many of them, just one with white ones… a delicate touch!
Have a wonderful and sunny weekend!

I love the silver seashells and sea star, I feel bad about having real ones. I could definitely own it.
Thank you so much for the link to order Mary Kay Andrews new book….I am nearly through all of her books and LOVE them……..I can’t wait to get this one….my only problem is going to be trying to wait to read it until our family goes to the beach the week of Father’s Day……..hope I can save it……..
Thanks

The Derby Side Table is calling to me too Julia!
I didn’t think I would like silver sea shells, but they are growing on me. They are rather coooooool.
Happy Weekend Julia! Thank you so much for featuring our silver shells. I just thought they were so elegant.
Mary Kay Andrews is one of my all-time favorite authors! Cannot wait to read this book too. You are a lucky girl to have a copy.

Love those measuring bowls! Happy Memorial Day, Julia! Hope you have an awesome weekend!
Aw, Julia–thanks so much for the bloggy love for SUMMER RENTAL! Have an amazing Memorial Day weekend–hope it’s the start to a fabulous summer.
Those shells look fantastic silver.
Hi! I just found your site and I am LOVING it! Have you ever thought of featuring the homes in the Nicholas Sparks movie Message In A Bottle? I loved both Garret’s waterside home and the Chicago apartment Robin Wright’s character lived in.
Thanks!

The seashells are so pretty…I’m starting to feel summer coming on just by looking at them…and the book makes that feeling even stronger, could there be a more perfect summer read?!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend Julia!
