Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend! GREAT things have really been happening for my "little blog"especially the last couple of months. First,  being nominated as one of the top beach blogs of 2012, and now being featured in a magazine! I am so excited,but more that anything I am grateful to my readers. If it weren't for your readership, there would be no Seaside Style.So I thank you.!! Not only is the blog featured but my jewelry Sea Chic is  as well.

Seaside Style has been featured in the Summer issue of  Condo Owner Magazine. This particular issue is dedicated to coastal bloggers.I am in fabulous company, as several other wonderful women have been featured. I just wanted to share my news and express my gratitude to all of you that read Seaside Style. Here is the link to read the article Condo Owner Magazine

Vogue Magazine, the leader in the  fashion industry has had some of the most memorable and beautiful covers that capture the  true essence of style and sophistication for women. I came across these beachy cover shots from years gone by to present day. These are  some of my favorites. Aren't they awesome?

What I'm Loving Now

I LOVE the knitted coffee cozies I am seeing all over Etsy right now! Not only are they so cute, but they are great for the environment instead of the cardboard holders and will keep your coffee or tea warmer longer. I really like this one shop Natalya's Studio. 


 She makes these adorable cozies in several colors.

She also has patterns you can purchase to make your own. So maybe it is time for me to get the old knitting needles out and make one for myself.  Check out her shop for knitted cowls also.. I have really wanted one, but it hasn't been that cold here in the South the last two Winters. Hopefully it will be this year so I can buy, or make one for myself.


Have a wonderful day!

Keep and Give Away -- now on Kindle

To contact us Click HERE
My book of poems Keep and Give Away is now on Kindle, good news--and yet news that leaves me with an odd mix of feelings. Joy, of course, for its new life in a different format. But what this news also says to me, in a mocking tone, is that I'm old fashioned. I don't own a Kindle. Or an iPad or any kind of tablet. So it feels as if Keep and Give Away has moved to another planet. 

Yes, this Kindle news is good news. It's also encouragement to catch up--so I can read the electronic version of my own book, so I can visit it on Mars. Somehow, though, I think I'll still prefer holding the old-fashioned print book in my hands, turning one paper page after another. Pure nostalgia--for paper.
