Fall Bouquets, Bringing the outdoors in :)

I love to pull things from the yard and use them in a bouquet.  This one has some mums, fern fronds, berries from a tree, flowers from the garden, lavender and rosemary, in different sized and color vases, arranged on a silver platter I inherited.  Voila fall coastal chic! :)

I also recently received this bouquet with some wetland and upland foliage.

Message in a Bottle Guest Book :)

One of my favorite decor items is our "Message in a Bottle," which we used as a Guest Book at our wedding.  While it was perfect for our sailboat wedding, what beach house doesn't need a lovely guest book?

This was so much fun, as it includes little bottles for individual messages and a large bottle for multiple messages.

Choose a ribbon to match your decor, set up a pad of notepaper next to the bottle, with a pen, and you're all set!

Best of all, the final product adds to your beachy decor :)
