July Moments and Family Crafts

I originally edited all my pictures here 

for a pre July 4th post.

I recently realized I forgot to finish it!

So I'm sharing it now

so I'll remember it next year.

I was very happy with my 4th of July decor.

Especially the round fans I hung from our custom 

table rod.

It just said festive and fun!

Family dinners and crafts

have definitely been 

one of my very favorites this summer!

The grandkids come over once a week

then we've been having a family dinner after pick up.

Each week I try to do a new craft for the kids

so I have them out when the parents are here.

I have been so happy to see how the whole family gets

involved and the level of creativity

they each have in their own way!

This week I got supplies to make

Fairy Houses.

I gathered a collection of natural

for the fairy homes.

I was literally in awe of the wonderful creations!

Especially Megan's!

She actually did a weaving with  embroidery floss

Dax preferred pool time with some friends!

Here are some more snippets of the backyard.

Jeff and I have spent much time working in the garden this summer

and

it's always such a joy to share it during family time!

Thank you so much for stopping by here!

What are you up to 

this July?

As always my friends

I wiah you love and joy

Backyard Summer Days

 I have been having so much fun in our

backyard this summer!

I have been 

gardening

and 

redecorating some spaces.

I ordered a new sofa bed for the back corner

to replace our old loungers that had seen better days.

I got new umbrellas for the front and back.

Of course it makes my heart so happy to see 

the new space enjoyed!

Our waterfall makes for some fun boating!

This summer I hung lanterns from our custom 

table rod that Jeff made.

I ordered the paper lanterns from Amazon.

Once hung them I sprayed each one with a clear acrylic paint.

Here in Southern California we have many a drizzly mornings.

With the thick coating of clear paint

they have have weathered the season perfectly!

I have so enjoyed seeing the lanterns move in the wind.

It feels like a party everyday.

They work so beautifully with my

 blue and white summer decor.

I planted a large bowl of flowers for the centerpiece.

I found these sweet bowls at Pottery Barn.

They are acrylic, which makes them perfect

for outdoor use.

Blue bandanas for napkins

keep the table fun

as do my new bamboo silverware from Amazon.

I have been 

painting rocks

with my grandchildren.

They worked well to keep the tablecloth from blowing in the wind

as well as adding some sweet whimsy to the table.

I love when a

 tablescape comes together!

I enjoy the entire process of adding my finds little by little.

My table has been set for a weeks!

It makes me so happy to come out in the morning 

to see it while I have my coffee.

With everything being weatherproof it's a breeze to keep it clean.

We've celebrated birthdays in the backyard.

Both Hunter and Megan turned 30

within a couple of weeks of each other.

How adorable is Lennon!

We popped up our little cabana for an afternoon of 

summer crafts.

For this week's craft we made 

wooden boats out of driftwood.

We put up one of our pools

to float the boats!

How adorable is Len's stripe sailboat!

Happy Dax!

It warmed my heart to see Mom and Dad 

doing crafts too, at pickup.

I store all of these sweet backyard moments in my heart.

I never take time with family for granted.

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life

Traveling In Style With Steamline Luggage

When Steamline Luggage reached out to me 

to create some content

I can't begin to tell you how excited I was!

I intentionally don't work with many brands

because I would rather consider myself an Artist and Encourager

rather than an Infuencer.

That being said I have loved, used and shot 

Steamline Luggage 

for years!

I have bought several pieces myself.

Every time I travel with Steamline Luggage

they truly elevate my stay.

The Granada in San Luis Obispo, California.

The Guild, San Diego.

The New Inn Temecula, California.

Trip Packing at home, in Southern California.

I chose to add a Vanity Case and Hat Box to my Collection!

Steamline Luggage offers so many gorgeous color way collections

each with original coordinating interiors.

They are also offering my readers

a 15% discount with 

code TAMERA15

With my love of all things neutral 

I chose the Diplomatic to collect.

I can't get enough of how they accentuate 

my own 

 Tamera Beardsley Design Accessories

Not only do I love traveling with these gorgeous

vintage inspired pieces

I use them in my decor as well.

If you've been here for a while

you know my love for creams and neutrals 

so I am so excited how my new 

Hatbox plays well  with all of my cream closet!

As does my new Vanity Case.

One of my favorites of the Steamline Luggage

is the beautiful interior.

It's a beautiful surprise when you open them!

And of course the gorgeous branding.

I'm so excited that this size hatbox

is the perfect way to transport 

my favorite Crowns and Headbands!

I can't wait to bring my set on our next grand adventure!

I packed my headpiece

along with my cashmere wrap

to change into as the sun went down.

My hat clip from Sidecar Love

enabled me to carry my hat hands free!

The Sidecar Love OG hat clip and ID envelope

coordinate perfectly with

Steamline Luggage Diplomat Collection.

If your'e looking to elevate your

travel style

I  honestly reccomend

Steamline Luggage

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy
