BY THE SEA, BY THE SEA, BY THE BEAUTIFUL SEA....AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

I have missed blogging!  I was occupied with a volunteer job that was time consuming the past four years.  I have been giving my time and attention to THE QUESTERS. (questers1944.org) which is a wonderful organization!

Now I want to return to what I love most:  decorating, entertaining and sharing that with you.

 I have been out shopping in the past two weeks and were surprised to see how many lobster items were tied with our July 4th celebration.  The lobster motif has been around forever, but now I am seeing it everywhere from Marshalls, Michaels, Home Goods, J Crew Factory and in my social media feeds.

 Here is the wonderful J Crew sweater:

Wooden Ships did several lobster motif sweaters with our American flag colors.

These patriotic lobster napkins were are Home Goods.

More from Wooden Ships knits:

Here are other lobster items that I have seen at Home Goods.

World Market also had lots of lobster items.  They even had lobster flavored potato chips!

Here are a few of their items.  To see more go to Worldmarket.com.

These two fun lobster purses are from Marshalls!

The woven purse, above,  is from Tommy Bahama at Marshalls.

If you are into lobster entertaining, you can find items like these paper plates online:

The bottom line is you do not have to live at the shore to enjoy these lobster themed items.  I would use them on the Fourth of July and beyond!
