Just Beachy {A Round-Up of 16 Posts Inspired by the Sand & the Sea}

Sadly as you all are reading this, I am spending my last full day at the beach with my family.  Tomorrow we will be rising bright and early and heading back home.  

Away from the sand...

Away from the salty air...

Away from the fresh seafood I have been indulging in all week... ;)

But just like the beautiful seashells that washed up on the early morning sand that we eagerly tossed into our buckets, I have gathered 16 creative, fun, and beautiful ways to bring and keep the beach home with you all year round...
