Beach Bound


At the end of the week I am packing my bags again for another week on the beach. This time I am off to Martha's Vineyard with a group of gal pals. This has me thinking of outdoor entertaining, lobster and all things nautical.

Canvas Tote Bags as Centerpiece. This is so simple = just nestle the vase inside custom totes.


Or a centerpiece of shells. Details HERE



Seersucker Cocktail Napkins. Find directions HERE.


Or these stenciled napkins


Watermelon Margaritas for Cocktails RECIPE


Urchin Place Card HOLDERS



Or Salt and Pepper SHAKERS


Love these Sloop Escort Cards


Plates from THOMAS PAUL



And, of course, it is not dinner by the beach without lobster. HERE is a recipe for a classic lobster bake.

  1. Nothing like a lobster bake!
    I love everything here, and how adorable are the small totes. Look like the ll bean totes in a miniature version.
    Have a great time, Kate.
    Happy Monday.
