I lived in Spain a few years ago during the America's Cup when my husband was a designer for one of the European sailing team syndicates.  Zara Home was my favorite shop! This company started in Spain. It is like an Anthropologie, IKEA, Pottery Barn, all mixed into one. Hey a girl can still dream right? Wish they would open one in the states. Check out the eyecandy at ZARAHOME.COM Looks like I may be due for another European holiday.

Found Beach Art by Gina Feddersen

I consider myself a beachcomber as well as an artist. I love discovery especially when it involves the sea. Sunday washed in many treasures for me including this distressed piece of wood which was perfect for my new piece of found beach art. I will be featuring more wall art and one-of-a-kind art for sale in the upcoming months. Stay tuned...

Terri Lindelow never ceases to amaze me. A few months ago I interviewed her for the blog and since then the Cluster Collection has been born. Here are the photos of the 3 turquoise pieces she has shared with me. The cluster collection is also available in different stones: rose quartz, fresh water pearls, onyx and carnelian.

"Ideas come to me through chance circumstance and very often in unexpected ways. My inspiration emerges from all aspects of my life and surrounding environment. Everything from unique architecture to a warm conversation with a friend can be the motivation for my next piece." ~ Terri Lindelow
