Beach finds

Here are the things I brought back from the beach. I intended to get a coffee table book. I want to start getting coffee table books from the places we visit. Anyhoo, St. George isn't big or well known (though it is regularly visited by Jimmy Buffet, Angelina Jolie, Kid Rock, and Hank Williams Jr.), so the coffee table book selection consisted of 1 book. It was really nice and even signed by the author/photographer, but it just wasn't $75 nice. So anyway, I saw this painting by a local artist on one of our trips to Avenue E and I couldn't stop thinking about it. :-) We just loved all the sand pipers there and this painting was so cute. Her name is Sandy. ;-) And then I saw this set of coasters at another store. We needed coasters (we have a glass coffee table) and I knew I'd never find another set I liked better. So here they are: :-)
