Hello, loves and happy Good Friday Easter greetings to you all. What an absolutely beautiful sunrise this morning, how lucky to have this beautiful weather eh? So yesterday I made this wreath for the cabin door from just some of my seashell, driftwood and sea glass haul that I've collected from various beaches over the years. Lovely to get creative with my glue gun! How will you be spending your Easter weekend at home? I'm going to take a break from the sewing machine to walk, sit in the garden and read a new book and eat copious amounts of chocolate! Happy Easter darlings.

Sending love this Sunday morning from the beach... What a relief it's stopped raining eh? Yesterday I spent a glorious 5 hours here in the warm October sunshine and walked my little feet off. Today I'm back down here to collect the massive haul of driftwood I’d collected yesterday... Now I’m here though I really dont want to leave again.... I'm taking the weekend off and back to it tomorrow, catching up with all your lovely orders. Widging you all a fabulous Sunday!

I loved making this beach bag and even more wonderful that it was bought as a gift! Inside is perfectly roomy with a zipped pocket, a large pocket and a good square bottom for all that beach day stuff. I'm aiming to have some for sale ready for @hampshireopenstudios next week too. Who’s coming along to see me? Wishing you a totally gorgeous Thursday folks! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ #theseasidesew #hampshirelife #hampshireopenstudios #mystyle #mybrand #beachstyle #beachtote #seastheday #saltinmysoul #saltinmyhair #saltandseagirl #mydesigns #etsybagshop #etsycollective #waketomake #wearethemakers #handmadestuff #handmadebrand #beachbag (at The Seaside Sew) https://www.instagram.com/p/B05PaOQF03_/?igshid=1rxebo0g3mn6o

I've made some really pretty linen gauzy summer scarves and they're just perfect to keep the sun off the shoulders or an evening stroll. I've added turquoise, navy or white luxury bobble trim. Which one would you choose? Have a super gorgeous sunny day! 💙 💙 💙 #saltandseaweed #holidayoutfit #beachwear #saltandseagirl #theseasidestyle #theseasidesew #summerscarves #linenscarves #handmadeisbettermade #mybrand #myseaside #summerherewecome (at Hillhead Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwWW2OjlpSM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1alug3y66xbso

Good morning! Just wanted to show you my recent designs that went off to @herberthedleyuk for this weeks Spring exhibition as I forgot to take pics if them before they went!

It's been a very sad time for me over the last few weeks with the death of my beloved Grandad and a dear school friend. It makes you take stock and really realise what's important in life..... Kindness and love is all that matters, surround yourself with positive, lovely souls, people that really make you happy. It's an absolutely beautiful day! Embrace, enjoy and totally get out into this big blue sky day my loves. I'm off to @herberthedleyuk today with my friend to check out the shop and eat cake! Then a spot of vitamin sea before planning for tomorrows workshop. Have a wonderful day loves........
