Meet A Girl With A Surfboard

 Happy Friday! Today I want to introduce you to  a special artist. Her name is Carin Vaughn . She and I have been following each other on Pinterest for quiet awhile and always love the surfing images she pins.{ I have stated many times, surfing is the one sport I wish I learned , so I am always drawn to anything related to it.} So, I finally got around to to seeing who the lady was behind these images,and I am so glad I did!

     What I found was, her blog not surprisingly entitled   Girl With A Surfboard.

     What was surprising.... is how much we have in common. An Island girl, who loves to surf, She is wife and mom.We share a passion for design, she loves the sea, and is  an avid angler, and she lives 2 towns over from me on Hilton Head Island!

Carin is  basically self taught oil painter, who started off  doing murals. She now has and Etsy shop, and... NBC's show Parenthood bought one of her paintings for their set! How cool! So let's see her work!

                                                                 I love this painting!!

                                                                      And this one!

 

 

                                                 See her painting in the background..

When I saw this, I was immediately drawn to it. A few years ago I sketched something very similar to this for my son. We love our Red Fish( aka) Spot Tail Bass here!

 I hope you enjoyed seeing her work. Stop by her blog and her  Etsy Shop to see more of her work.

Have a great day!

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!

Sea Chic { Etsy Shop }

When I began The Seaside Style blog in January 2011 it was out of my love and passion for the sea, the beach, interior design ,and everything coastal. Without knowing very much about the blogging world, I did  know from the beginning I wanted to have an Etsy shop.The shop would be comprised of all sorts of coastal goodies.
As we all know life happens, and it has taken me this long to make it happen. It takes time. Lots of it..and  to do this,  as with anything new, I have to learn the ropes, work out the kinks, and  hope it works out. I have started with a collection of leather beaded bracelets for now, and will move into other items as time allows . I would  really appreciate feed back, advice, or anything else you may have to offer. I am listing things slowly but surely. Thank you for your continued support!! You all make my days!
