Seashells and Beaches
Summer of 2021 is here…enjoy Seashells and Beaches this week with my Saturday MMK Guest Post!!
Let’s bring them home!! Let’s create new and very special memories this precious Summer!!
Elements of summer evoke pleasant memories of childhood, exotic vacations, entertaining at home – outside!
Whether you are traveling or spending long-awaited time with family and friends close or at home – out of
doors…entertaining can be such fun for private time, an intimate evening, a party for 2, 20 or 200 +
Creating calm and tranquility in our lives and homes brings relaxation and soothing comfort to our spirits with gentle colors and natural textures. Let’s bring this into our everyday lives – in the most charming ways possible!! Let’s enjoy them, especially now!!
Butterflies make my heart flutter…and carry me away to distant views, lands and beaches… Baccarat has created every color under the sun! Each one is a gift…to delight a special loved one, couple or dear friend – no occasion required!! They are lovely at each place setting, on a nightstand, vanity, bookshelf or grouped with colorful fun! Of course, they are the perfect Engagement, Birthday or Anniversary remembrance as well…in their elegant Red Box!!
Imagine Malibu, the Bahamas, Hawaii, the South of France or?? What is your favorite tropical paradise?? Mexico or your own backyard?? Seashells and Beaches…xoxo
Writing special thoughts, memories or simply jotting some of your favorite ideas to explore and items to pack are beautiful in Crane’s little Beach Glass 100% Cotton Notebook – so chic and engraved!! Blank books can be filled with whatever we wish, I love them….
Shells Natures Exquisite Creation Hardcover
Glass has always been a mad passion for me…it is totally mesmerizing!! Inventive Glass Artist Dale Chihuly’s Shell Rosette Rug is fabulously inspirational!! His work is collected internationally by more than 200 museums…and his
installations, exhibitions and Seattle Museum are not to be missed!! We share a September 20th Birthday…who
knew?? Now it’s Sophia Loren and Dale Chihuly!! How lucky am I??
Annieglass is a fabulous favorite!! Annie Morhauser is an accomplished and beloved California Glass Artist inspired by seashells and an artisan blowing glass on the beach near her studio on Monterey Bay, 30 years ago! She “fell in love!” Enjoy her beautiful work today in sooo many fabulous forms. Many are finished with a 24kt gold for your table…or you can create focal Art for your home or office. Handmade and sustainably crafted in California, Annieglass is collected extensively by museums, yet available to us…xoxo to Annie!!

Love that rug in the first picture!
Can you tell me anything about it?
Yes, Christine, It is beautiful – glad you enjoyed – link – Blue Abstract Wool & Silk rug by Chihuly | The Rug Company from the site “Rosette limited-edition rug, inspired by Chihuly’s glasswork. The design is a celebration of form, scale and colour with dramatic, swirling rings which appear to reverberate across the composition. The motif is inspired by blown glass rondels which are layered over one another to play with the illusion of transparency, giving the impression of delicate glass.
Price Band: 10
Craftsmanship: Handknotted Tibetan wool and silk
Knot count: 100 knot
Technique: cut pile”
Enjoy…xoxo MMK
