Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay

...or the lake, or the river, or the pond.

The season for sitting near the water in your favorite Adirondack chair is almost gone, but you can start preparing for next year with this chair made of reclaimed wood. It's on sale at Orvis.

Oh Sheet!

I have fallen for these organic cotton sheets from Pottery Barn:


They're on sale right now, too!!!

This is why you should never...

...put fresh flowers in a pitcher (because you can't find a vase) and then leave it on the windowsill.



...get up from your seat on the couch if you intend to get it back.


...leave your bed unmade.


...leave your bathtub unattended.


...fall in love with a throw blanket because your cat will inevitably take it.

To Top it All Off

Hat Attack makes some really great hats in organic cotton and other easy-on-the-environment materials.

My favorite is this organic cotton cap with knot trim:


This simple organic cotton cloche is nice too:


And this super fun trapper hat is perfect for the super cold weather:

A New Take on the Prep School Blazer

Larsen Gray's Prep School Blazer does a fantastic job of adding a little spunk to an age-old classic.


The shell of the blazer is made of 100% recycled wool and the lining is 100% silk. I'd pair this with cute jeans and ballet flats for a great lunch-with-the-girls outfit!

Recycled Nautical Goodness

Continuing with yesterday's nautical theme, today's post highlights two more great finds of the recycled variety.

The spinnaker sail shower curtain comes in red and blue and would be a welcome addition to any bathroom.



Wouldn't these cute cobalt tumblers be just perfect for sipping sweet tea?


They're made of the bottom halves of recycled wine bottles. The fish are etched into the glasses using an environmentally-friendly sandblasting process.

Special thanks to Liz for suggesting Uncommon Goods!!! You can find both the shower curtain and the tumblers on their website.
