Hello and welcome to another segment of “i heart macro”.    Every year the sight of this big, colorful flower spells out  S U M M E R to me.  I instantly feel transported to a beautiful, balmy island -somewhere exotic.

Well, we have been transported after all.  We packed up, and like many up and down the East Coast, we headed for the beach.  Like to see what it looks like when sweet bead studio goes mobile? 🙂  I am rediscovering that I am not a “light” packer.  This looks bad.  BUT, I am going to be gone for a long time, so of course I brought every thing I could – just in case.

…..and finally reaching our destination = not exactly exotic, but balmy and beautiful!

Have a safe and fun holiday, wherever you are visiting from!
