Where Bare Feet Meet Sandy Floors

Where bare feet meet sandy floors, Now that is summer at it's finest!

We just returned from our family beach vacation and my new mantra is all about the sand between my toes! We had the best time ever! Building sand castles, flying kites in the beach winds, riding bikes, eating dinner with friends, reading books under the umbrella, playing card games... it's summer at its finest! You know you are finally relaxed when you lose track of the day and the only thing you have to worry about is where you are going to eat for dinner.

This is the 10th summer we’ve returned to the Emerald Coast to visit Seaside, Florida. We visit with friends, make memories and enjoy summer at it's finest!

*LOVE* Polka Dots

Polka dot [pohl-kuh, poh-kuh] [dot] -pattern consisting of dots, equal or random in size, color and spacing

...Yes they certainly are, and we LOVE them!

Polka dot patterns have been used on all types of clothing, furniture, and toys for ages- from small, simple dots on a serious suit, to big, bright polka dots on children's clothing, furniture and toys... and then there's that legendary itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny-yellow-polka-dot-bikini (Thank you, Paul Vance).  Here at CMH, we prefer them on paper.  And in an assortment of colors, sizes and contexts...

One of our favorite "dots" is Polka Dot Design.  Check out all the new Cross-My-Heart products for January 2008 available online NOW!
