Style Scouting: Vol. 242

Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.

Ed and I just got back from a lovely week staying at Sea Pines Plantation in Hilton Head, South Carolina. It was a nice escape even with a few days of torrential rain.

Plus a change of scenery is always a good way to press pause and collect yourself. Riding bikes on the beach is one of our favorite pastimes as well as riding along the many shaded bike paths that Hilton Head has.

In May the weather is warm, but not overly hot and humid yet, and the crowds have not yet arrived which made for a perfect, relaxing getaway.

As much as I loved our week away, it always feels so nice to be greeted by your own home sweet home after a vacation. :-)

Now onto the links I found this week.

  1. The story about the Missouri prisoners was so fascinating.
    I really like the way those patio lights were hung. I also don’t want big, chunky posts for my patio light and their idea was great!
    I’ve been getting more exercise and watching what I eat and drink hoping to make a healthier rest of my life. One thing I need to remember is that fitness is more important than weight. I am trying to love my body more, which is hard when it’s not the “perfect” size.
    Thank you for your weekly quotes. I might copy this weeks one for my own blog. ☺️
