Let's take to the seas...

I'm feeling nautical. And I'm seeing it everywhere. I love it. This may be a follow-up with my love of stripes. But they go so well together. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my dad was in the Navy? Even if he may have been in the air, I think I want to be a sailor. Or at least have fun using inspired accessories. Sailing (or boating for others) just screams summer to me. I love it! These are a few tutorials I have seen that I would love to do! Anyone feeling crafty and want to jump on board with me?


A Knot Trivet


An Anthro-inspired Necklace


A Sailor Knot Bracelet



Or maybe I'll skip the idea of making something and just buy these great pieces. Don't you just love etsy??

When I think of sailing for some reason I think of the movie Failure to Launch. Has anyone else seen that? There is the most amazing sailboat in that movie. It definitely made me question would I rather have a sailboat or a speedboat? I am desperately trying to find an image of the boat so you can see what I mean. But I have to say that the sail on the boat was gorgeous. I want the exact one.



What would you prefer, a sailboat or a speedboat?
