A day at the seaside! What a lovely day we have had, my one year old son having his feet dangled in the sea for the first time and watching his reaction of delight! His first experience of sand on his fingers and toes, seeing how he felt the texture. My two older boys have been playing in the sand, making castles a using their imagination, raising razer clam drawbridges to stop invaders entering the keep. Despite the chill, they couldn't resist the waves and ended up waist deep in it! The perfect finish to the day was a clotted cream ice cream and a hearty meal of fish and chips - you can't beat that. So, I have decided to devote my blog to all seaside related, hand crafted items found on Folksy. I hope you will agree, there are some gorgeous pieces of design here. Please click on the photos for a link to the items in the designers shops....

A lovely blog and I loved the tale of your three boys on the beach. Building sandcastles complete with drawbridges! And of course the little one's first paddle.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for featuring my Sailing Book Cover Bag.
I have just returned from the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides where they have some wonderful golden beaches, but it was so cold - it actually hailstoned while we were on the beach.
