Coral Bay Inspiration!
Coral Bay, St. John U.S.V.I.
I had the good fortune last month to take a week and relax in St. John, United States Virgin Islands. I hadn't had any time off since last July, so believe me - it was a long overdue break!
We stayed in the sweetest cottage overlooking Coral Bay and spent our days swimming, hiking and sailing. The owners of the rental cottage, Mary & Jay are in semi retirement, having moved from Cape Cod several years ago. They were wonderful hosts and introduced us to many of their friends - most of them transplants from New England as well. On the bed in our cottage was the most beautiful quilt. Apparently Mary has been quilting for years and has incorporated a sewing room into her new island home. I think she has a real gift for color and all of her pieces are finished beautifully. She is just another inspiration for me
on my quest to create my own Cottage Industry!

I know what you mean about climbing into the photos and just sitting there. That's what I imagine too. It's lovely to dream. That's why there is no reason for you not to attend next Friday nights drinks at my blog. All my new friends from Sweden were there. I've even had one write to me today to tell me what she imagined she got up to at my party. So please come next week.
Best Wishes, A-M, Brisbane, Australia
Okay, I'll be there! I'll bring the crisps and dip and if I drink too much, the Swedish girls can give me a lift home!
