I found my coral...

Yesterday, I was walking through the Union Square farmer's market and found some great pewter coral earrings. Check out Little Dipper Castings. They also have some other great summer stuff like these sand dollar earrings. Very affordable too.

Gorgeous Print

So, I'm officially obsessed with this site called Etsy. Artists and craftspeople that produce small quantities of quality, handmade goods sell their stuff, and some offer custom services.

And OMFG, how cute is this tote? The color is gorgeous, and the attention to detail is amazing. The woman (whose studio is called Willywaw) who makes these makes all of the fabrics specifically designed for the bag, so that the prints match up perfectly. And did I mention the color?? I love that shade of blue. But the bag is truly green-- it's made locally (local to me-- in Rhode Island) and uses organic cotton canvas. Love it.

Coral Craze

The city is getting so hot I'm sorry I'm not back on Nantucket. Where I would be wearing this Milly swim suit:

I'm not much for one pieces, but my coral obsession pushed me to buy this one. I hope the weather holds up, because I'm hoping to be tanning on 'Sconset this weekend (rather than completing a puzzle). I suppose I can imagine myself away out on my roof.

Next coral items I'm after:

Smathers and Branson needlepoint belt (love the tortoise buckle)

This cute wallet/checkbook cover I found on Etsy.
