Summer Reading: Chris Van Alsburg
Our mom started a special tradition us girls and every year we would get to go to bookstore and she would buy us a special picture book that she wanted us to save for our children. Chris Van Allsburg was always a favorite. No other author has the power to transport children and adults alike to a different place and restore a special kind of innocence. These enchanting illustrations are from the Mysteries of Harris Burdick.

Ebay Shopping: Child's Folding Beach Chair
Despite it's allure, I've never been much of a beach person. Seaweed is slimy and gross...the sun burned me and left me looking like a dalmation...and most terribly, I always got sand in my bathing suit. If only my parents had thought to bring a vintage wooden folding chair with striped canvas to the shore! With stripes like these, you can make this weekend's trek to East Hampton feel more like a Riviera jaunt. It's only $14.99 on ebay.
