I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! We sure did here in WK. My youngest daughter and a friend came for a weekend visit, we had a wonderful time!
It’s always great to be around family during the holidays.
Driftwood has been one of my favorite things, I especially like the patina of the wood and the wonder of all the places it has been. A few weeks ago, I ran across this blog called stories of a 2 z. She had made the cutest sailboat out of drift wood. She really did inspire me to get the piece of driftwood, that I had found, and make a sailboat this afternoon.
Here is the exact spot that she came from.
It’s almost impossible to pick up a piece of wood around Albert (golden retriever). He retrieves sticks, wood, balls, whatever, you throw in the lake. See where he bit the end off? I think it only adds character plus a cute story. :o)
After floating around the lake, I think her final resting place will be here. :-)
Thanks again for stopping by Lavender & Linen. Hope you sail through the week with joy and creativity! ;-)

I LOVE it! It's beautiful and hopefully your doggie won't attack it as a chew toy :).
That is a gorgeous piece of wood. You have to go check out my FAUX Driftwood Sailboat. I think I posted last Thursday.
Thanks for posting to the my party.

Hi Mary! I am adding you as my newest follower! You had me asap w/that sailboat. LOL! That is so cute I am gonna want to do one now too! I also paint, not nearly as wonderful as you but I know exactly what you mean. It only happens when I really want to and what I want to paint. I have been wanting to do some sailboats on pillows and you have inspired me. Thanks!
I am adding this to my favs list.

This is fabulous! And I love the synchronicity of finding this today, as I am in the midst of working on a driftwood sailboat post. Yours is gorgeous. LOVE that piece of driftwood :-)
Good dispatch and this enter helped me alot in my college assignement. Thanks you as your information.
That is really creative! From now on, all crescent shaped driftwood on the beach are my sailboats! :D
I fell in love with your boat. I think it is quite classy. I am making Christmas decorations for a tree we are donating to a local festival of trees this year, and we made 11 of these because of your inspiration. I am going to write a post about it in the next couple of weeks, and I will definitely give you credit for our inspiration. I love how our boats turned out, and I appreciate your sharing this idea with us. THANK YOU!!! http://www.continuallycreative.com
