Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Vintage Beach

My goodness it has been ages since I have posted on here. Lots has happened since the last time I was here. We moved from the north country of Alaska back down to the lower 48 (as they call it) to be closer to family. Don't know where we will end up, but we keep looking. 

Well it has been a hot summer since we moved down. A lot hotter than we are use too! When it is so hot it makes me think of cool water and the beach so I thought we would look at some vintage beach from Etsy. 

Well if you are going to the beach you have to have a beach towel to lay on and 3rdgenerationgypsy has this really cute one. 

And of course you will need an umbrella to lay under so you don't get too burned. How about this neat umbrella from BelindasStyleShop.

Then we always have to have something to drink so you can keep those beverages cold with this vintage insulated cooler tote bag from GetHookedVintage.

Now the kiddos are going to need a beach ball to throw around on the beach, siffeddotca has this funny one of Popeye! :)

Well where I live know I don't have a beach, but we have lots of rivers that have beaches so I think that will work. If you are headed to a beach...have fun!

Keep cool!
