We're coming upon my favorite time of year and I'm getting ready. Went to the co-op this week and picked up this old Danforth anchor. I love it! The patina and shape caught my attention weeks ago and I had my fingers crossed that it would still be there. Sure enough, in the same spot! There's something about the old heavy chain...wonderful for a beach cottage mantel eh?
Now all I need is an old wooden boat to row around the bay in. Of course I'll bring my trusty anchor to hold me steady as I enjoy a cool drink and lazily soak up some rays.
I know where there's a little white boat that's perfect.... but.....it's filled with roses!

Hello Roberta... pretty new photo of you! And I LOVE your new anchor... Jack and I are sailors, well, we used to be, we sold our sailboat and have not bought another one yet... I wear a little gold anchor pendant around my neck! That looks so great on your mantle! And the little white rowboat full of roses is delightful! xoxo Julie Marie
Your mantel is perfect for the anchor...or the other way around. I love the dinghy filled with flowers, too!
