Beach Week: Inspired by The Guadeloupe

And a few goodies to go with our Guadeloupe beach house:

1. Bikini – If we can afford this imaginary beach house, we can also likely afford a $300 Prada bikini, on sale.
2. Books – Lots of Steinbeck.
3. Sweater – A cardigan to wear with your best bikini.
4. Candle – Williams-Sonoma olive oil candle.
5. Tea Pot – In swirled copper.
6. Plates – Mottahedeh tin picnic plates in Turkish Garden.
7. Coverlets – In the colors of beach glass.
8. Pillow – Embroidered loveliness on sale at Anthropologie.
9. Tea Cup & Saucer – Tiffany’s Sea Urchin pattern has just the right amount of whimsy for a cup of hot lavender earl gray after a windy beach walk.
