Cue the steel drums...

As most of you are reading this I will be in 1 of 2 places.

1. On a plane to Puerto Rico
2. Already sitting on the beach in Puerto Rico

Just depends on when you got up this morning. Mr. B's dad & step-mom have graciously invited us to 7 days of fun & sun in the condo they have for the month in Ricon, a beach town on the West coast of PR. I'm pretty much packed. Found a few things on Etsy I wish were in my suitcase...

From top right, clockwise: Sailor Tote Bag - why don't I already own this?!, Gemstone and Starfish Necklace - simple, goes with everything, Mermaid bottle opener - will need one for sure, Hemp Linen Beach Dress - one of a few dresses from this shop that I wish were in my suitcase.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week! I'll see you back here in 7 days! xo!

PS On a business note, I'll have limited access to email so just be patient. Any & all orders placed during the next week will be shipped on Monday the 30th. 

Update: Awful typo in the title. Yikes! Great trip tho :)

Batty Photog Blog

Yes...I need another project like a whole in the head. But! A friend of mine has motivated me to shoot more often so to keep myself motivated (and to learn Wordpress another blog format) I started a photo blog. Posts may be few & far between, but I love photography & now I have an outlet for it.

So Batty Photog Blog was born.

A Day at the Beach Treasury

{Etsy Treasury: A Day at the Beach by Rose Interiors}

Look! Rose Interiors on Etsy has included me in her A Day at the Beach treasury!! The other items here are really nice. Very flattered to be included among them. Thank you Rose!

This is a great holiday weekend treasury. So many people headed to the beach. What are you up to?

Cards of the week - Take me to the beach...

Hellllllllooo!! After last week's warm spell here in Brooklyn & pouring over pictures from our Barbados trip on Facebook, I can't stop dreaming about the beach. Hence! This weeks cards of the week theme: the beach.

Simple & nicely printed, this starfish note card from Petite Paperie can be delivered on your choice of paper.


Unusual color combo with the gold & burgandy, but it goes very well with the sea foam & green. Great vintage-y illustration of the seahourse. These cards are from Skel Design.



LOVE these vintage-inspired note cards from Jacquelyn Vaccaro with different sea shells on each one. The worn look is fabulous, as is the brown in she printed in. Nice & elegant, but relaxed at the same time.




And lastly, these are handmade PLAYING CARDS! How freakin' fun are these?? I'll tell ya - really fun! They are by Leah Mackin Dot Com. The item listing on Etsy shows a suit from the deck. Each has a different ocean creature.

Until next time, everyone have a great weekend!
