the sea always inspires me with its beauty
life is a gift
given in trust
like a child...
I feel we are all islands
in a common sea...
bringing the sea
to # 31
at Country Roads this week
beautiful gold coral
I love the juxtaposition of mixing
all of the elements in coastal displays
linking up with our very lovely hostess
Debra at Common Ground
for her fabulous Inspiration Friday
Beautiful decor, Kate, and lovely vignettes...just hopped over from Vintage Inspiration...
ReplyDeleteTruly gorgeous and inspiring, I think that incorporating elements from the sea is wonderful year 'round! Adore your lovely little world here, happy to be your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteI barely saw you today, sorry, we got BUSY!! I did see your space though, and it looks great. And thank you for reminding me about Inspirational Friday. I'm so confused this week. I too love all the sea holds for us and tend to surround myself with shells and such. My bedroom is entirely about the beach and ocean. See you soon my friend!

I'm so envious of those who live near the ocean. It is a completely different way of life and looking at things. Your coral and sea elements are so lovely, and how you have used them in decor and your booth is just so pretty. I always love seeing your space, it changes each time, and is always an inspiration. Kate, thanks so much for taking the time to do this wonderful post and linking back to the party.
ReplyDeletehugs and love,
Debra
Beautiful coral! I agree with Debra, I look forward to seeing a new post from you each day. I'm always inspired by how you merchandise your booth.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I say a little prayer for you and your family each time I see your blog. Which is almost every day.
Joyfully,
Elizabeth Ann
Um, I think it's time to come and redecorate my dining room again ~ love all the seashells and coral especially. and I LOVE your new coffee table!!!
ReplyDeleteSee you Saturday..
Hi Kate ~ There's nothing Better than the Deep Blue Sea.... Love the Coral.... I have NO idea where it is in Cali that you are from & I Know it is a Huge (also Beautiful) State... I am coming to visit My Cousin in the late Winter (will need a break from the ice & cold here in Michigan) any way, I am planning on Meeting up with Jamie "Simply Me Art" My Cousin lives in Oxnard, Jamie said that is about 30 minutes from Her.... I would Love to be able to meet My Favorite Blogging Friends, If Possible ~ doing a little Treasure Hunting would be a Dream ~ anyway, You may be far from there, but just in case! Have a Wonderful Weekend

Loved your photos ~ truly gifts of the sea.
ReplyDeleteThis summer I reread, "NO MORE WORDS" by Anne Lindberg's daughter. It is the story of Anne's last years, when her daughter cared for her. I could hardly put the book down. Her daughter is a great wordsmith too. You might enjoy it, Kate. (a little sad, though, but so well done.)
Fondly,
Glenda
Kate- Seriously, I drool over everything you have in your house and shop!!!! I love the creamy coral....have been looking and looking at thrifts hoping to come across a piece but haven't been so lucky!! Thanks for always being so inspirational! ;-)

The sea is a mystery with beauty hidden just below the surface. I love how you interpret her beauty. You are so fortunate to be in Country Roads and friends with Sue. I envy you that...she's one of my favorite people.

ReplyDeleteHi Kate! Your new blog look is beautiful! Lovin all the gray!
ReplyDeleteThe sea is truly a gift to us! I haven't been to the beach in six years, and I am really wanting to make a trip. We live nowhere near the ocean, but I always have a few coastal touches here and there.
Everything is gorgeous! Your style is so beautiful and you make it seem so effortless! I always love all your things and the way to put them together!
Have a great weekend girl!!
