The Lobster and the Crab

Why did the lobster tell the crab "You can't play my game!"  Cuz the lobster was shellfish!

It's no secret that I am a New England Girl at heart living on the west coast.  Right around this time of year is when I miss the "short" 2 1/2 hour ride through Boston and over the Sagamore Bridge to Cape Cod.  Even better, add a short Flying Cloud ferry ride to one of my favorite places on this planet... Nantucket!

I'm drawn to anything and everything that reminds me of the charming coastal living style of the East Coast.  So when I happened upon these guys in Homegoods yesterday I quickly captured them (could I BE more cheesy?!)  Not bad for $16.99 a piece.

The burlap detail for the trim is so sweet.

And since I was out front taking pictures, I thought I'd share some progress on the flower box.  Look what I have not killed yet managed to keep alive!  I'm sure it's only a matter of time... one lazy weekend of no watering and these flowers will be toast!



This picture reminds me that it's time to put the Father's Day flag out... and buy a Father's Day gift and maybe plan some sort of cookout.

It's not quite Nantucket, but I'm looking forward to spending some warm evenings with my fav guy on our fav porch this Summer.
