SUN HATS BY ROBERTA FREYMANN

I can't believe it's finally Memorial Day weekend and the official launch of summer and all of its delights—lazy afternoons in the hammock, bike rides, ocean walks, shell collecting, ferry trips and farmer's markets. It's a great time for some extra sun hats around the house and I love these from Roberta Roller Rabbit — cool cotton canvas that are machine washable and easy to pack. Wishing you a wonderful holiday weekend and the beginning to a happy summer. ox

MIX-IT-UP

I love mixing patterns wherever possible... with napkins, too! You will find a yummy selection of cotton napkins on the Roberta Roller Rabbit site. The fabrics are created using centuries old block-printing techniques by artisans in India. After carefully being printed by hand, the fabrics and are laid out in the sun to dry—creating brilliant hues.

SUMMER & BEACH DAYS

I'm getting ready for beachy days here in Massachusetts. This week, it actually hit 80 degrees and I dove into the Atlantic [quickly]—but we still have plenty of spring days left with temperatures between 55-70. I love this time of year and scouting-out summer looks. Here are a few things I'm considering for beachy fun and summer days.
