frolicking along east coast beaches has left me re-obsessed with the delicate patterns & shapes of the shoreline.

perhaps none are so intriguing as that beguiling organic oval: the barnacle.

it's a mini mystery in it's delicate curves. beautiful.

what shapes are you loving these days, sweeties?

dearests!
i've missed you so.

we're home from our beautfiul east coast getaway & i'm basking in the wonderfulness of renewal & restorative goodness.

so many fun highlights... among them:


* the sheer delight of playing on red sand beach after red sand beach all over pei!

* that brilliant salty ocean air.

* little rikrak's first big rock concert (u2 360 in crazy fun knee-deep mud! )

* wandering across a pod of 30+ seals, sunning themselves on an empty beach at sunset ... wow! 

* fabulous visits with dear friends. thank you, wonderfulones!

* hilarious roadtrip games in the car; & 

* the collection of handmade souvenir sketches little rikrak drew in the backseat all along the way!

gosh i feel lucky.
& gosh i love the ocean.

how about you? love the shoreline?

hope your time has been great since last we spoke cuties!
gearing up for lots more fun here on the blog. 

welcome back!

tell us what you've been up to!

see you wednesday!
