"I keep a bowl of sea glass on my desk to remind me of the beach. The colors are so soothing, and there’s wonderful texture in every piece", says Kay A. Fuston, Coastal Living's Editor in Chief.
For me it's local Quahog Shells and Beach Rocks.
Also, check out Barbara Jacksier's new feature Waterside Wednesday.
What reminds me of the beach? The crisp, tangy smell of salt spray in the air...
ReplyDeleteA few of my shells still have this slight odor, so I keep them on the shelf in my office.

Well, Jane beat me too it. It's the smell and also the sounds and the tast of salt in your mouth...that's what reminds me of the beach....thanks so much, for popping in to see me. XXXX
ReplyDeleteI LOVE (!) sea-glass and shells, whenever I can find some I NEED to take them home. Lovely post! Wish you a lovely day today. geisslein
ReplyDeleteFor me..it is white coral. But then again I love everything from the beach.
ReplyDeleteYes I am an anything beachy person too.. but art... and .. well.. looking out the window.. haha. The seaglass is lovely!!! Oh I do have some shells in the bathroom also. x Julie
ReplyDeleteMy mind drifts to the shore when I think about shells, beach glass, the smell of salt air AND lobster rolls!
ReplyDeleteThe sound of the seagulls and the waves hitting the shore are part of my every day. I am blessed. Happy Waterside Wednesday Maya!

I would agree with the smells of beach life. And beach grass, although that is an old memories from childhood trips to my mother's family's house on Cape Cod. We don't have much of it here in California.
ReplyDeleteeverything... everything
ReplyDeleteSea shells I collected:)
ReplyDeleteWashed out colors of sand and sea. Even greys of wood on the beach.
ReplyDeleteThe sound of waves at night, smell of the salt spray, hot sand, shells, sea glass, coconut juice, sunburn, smell of suntan oil, and the little centers of decor that wife Lin has in various spots in the house.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention the vintage hula girl print in the kitchen!
the colors of the ocean, balmy breezes, palm trees swaying, the softness of sand, driftwood, shells and seafood!
ReplyDeleteI love sea glass, we called them mermaid tears when I was a child growing up on the Pacific. Then you found lots and if it was still sharp to the touch, you threw it back in the ocean to "cook" some more.
ReplyDeleteStrange, we didn't give a thought to the people who were throwing their bottles (trash) into the water in those days. Overall, we found little garbage then, not like today.
Well, aside from your beautiful picture, I'd say my collection of seashells.
ReplyDeleteI love reading about all of your "Reminders"..., and yes..., the air, the salt spray, the sounds of seagulls, all that (and more) for me too.
ReplyDelete...the sound of gulls and watching them soar overhead...the lapping of waves on the shore and the smell of the salt air...and probably my favorite...sand between my toes. xo, mickey
ReplyDeleteHi Maya
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding me to our blog roll. Have to admit...I am thoroughly enjoying "meeting" all these wonderful people in blog land. What took me so long!
Re: the erosion fall...not so soft...sandals flying in different directions...clothes from shoulders to toes covered in sand...but a great big belly laugh! That part truly felt wonderfully freeing...like being at the beach!

All that beautiful sea glass in my photo. I have it scattered here and there around the house

My treasures are perfectly round white stones. I also have couple kilos of sea glasses that I collected thru the years. I really dont know what to do with them but cant throw them ..
ReplyDeleteShells...I have them everywhere in the summer. But I adore sea glass and love that idea.
ReplyDeleteI picked up a small but unusual shell on the beach on our honeymoon, and managed to make it into a pendant necklace. I love to wear it for sentimental reasons, but it attracts quite a few comments too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous picture!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! My entire home is decorated like a beach cottage... but the smell of suntan lotion always makes me think of the beach!
ReplyDeleteI live on a peninsula on the WA coast. It has taken me years to get here and I love to hear the sound of the waves in the winter and the excitement when you find something great on the beach...glass floats perhaps...
