Color Splash, Hot Hot Hot

If you can’t run right down to the beach and jump in the
surf, then do the next best thing. Run
to the brightest, coolest, summery style you can get your hands on and bask in
it. No sunburns please! Slather
appropriately with high SPF, UVB, UVA, long-lasting, sun-tested, water (and
sweat) proof lotion and get out there and enjoy your summer.

For a land-locked denizen of central Texas, the lure of the
sea is strong. Nothing says summer to me
like a trip to the beach. This year, the
beaches of Florida’s gulf and a very special trip up the Atlantic coastline leave
me longing for more sand in my toes. The
gentle sway of the Gulf of Mexico in the waters of Texas and Florida seem worlds
away from the incredible power and intensity of the Atlantic. I’ve fallen in love with the fury of the
sea. Ummm, I didn’t swim, I dipped my
toes and dodged the foamy waters as powerful waves crashed and broke and
reached towards the dunes. It’s chilly along
the Eastern seaboard in June. It’s not
just that I’m a wimp, those who live there know that wet suits are probably a
good idea along with great care to brave high surf and dangerous rip tides. My shell collection is a constant reminder. Tough strong quahog shells from the Atlantic are
an entirely different animal from the delicate fans and cones collected on
Sanibel Island. No matter which never-ending
waters reach to the horizon, the sea demands a healthy respect and I can’t wait
to go back.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, just yesterday a friend asked
me if I’m ready to go back to school. Nooo, not yet! Hold on to summer with the newest collection
from IndieArtisans. Check out the entire “Color Splash” collection
for bold, fun, never-ending summer.
