She Sells Seashells...

Over the next week I’ll be soaking up the sun and surf at the Maryland shore. But between sunbathing and sleeping, I’ll be doing plenty of shopping at the adorable boutiques of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. One of my first stops will be Blair Elizabeth, a tiny store specializing in fashion accessories, home décor and original jewelry designs. The jewelry line is a favorite of mine, full of fresh, fun and often beachy designs...

but I’m also really taken by the store’s new line of handmade handbags by Bosom Buddy:

While I’m away, I’m leaving The Finer Things in the hands of a few talented guest bloggers, straight from the floors of FineStationery.com. These incredibly creative and stylish gals have put together some really lovely posts for next week including an inspiration board for a vintage seashore wedding, helpful tips for submitting job applications and a no-fail recipe for using ginger to spice up your next dinner party.

So check back next week for a real treat—and I’ll be back to blogging the week of August 10. Until then my lovelies…
