{come sail away}

As the summer winds down and I look forward to my yearly tradition of boating away Labor Day weekend… I am celebrating the fact that I have always been drawn to all things nautical. Maybe it was because my mom thought it was cute to put a little girl in a classic sailor outfit, or the fact that navy stripes will never go out of style no matter what age you are. I have even gone as far as to say that I grew up sailing… the truth is that I grew up near sailboats. I, myself, sat in the boat, docked at the marina during many a summer’s night. My daddy was the sailor… recreationally and militarily. I fondly remember finding his bell-bottomed navy blue woolen navy uniform in the attic one year… and I tried it on wishing for some miracle that by the heat of the attic it had shrunk from an adult male’s size to a pre-teen girl’s size. No such luck, but I did channel that nautical sentiment a couple of years ago for Halloween… I will find any excuse to go into an army/navy store!


So, in honor of my Daddy, the approaching end of summer, and of my urge to be on the water, I have pulled together a few mish-mashes of nautical inspirations…
