Summer Seas

055-001

” The world today, ” Beston writes, ” is sick to its thin blood for lack of elemental things, for fire before the hands, for water, for air, for the dear earth itself underfoot”. 1927

Dear Sisters,

If you’re just stopping by for the first time in a while let me catch you up! Some of us are in the final pages of Henry Beston’s,The Outermost House.

Grab your sunscreen, your favorite summer dress and join me on the summer seas!

Cottage Check-Up
