Beach Bound With Uncommon Goods

With school coming to a close, I'm counting down to the lazy days of summer spent on the beach or by the pool.  The water is not quite warm enough for me yet, but Traci and I have already enjoyed a little time in the sun.  We headed out to the beach the other day with our girls for a little fun in the sun, plus we wanted to give our new beach bags a try.  Traci and I were recently introduced to a website that features unique items designed by emerging artists.  Uncommon Goods has tons of interesting pieces that you won't see anywhere else.  Plus, with Mother's Day, graduation and wedding season upon us, there is a great selection of gifts for mom, grads, brides, bridesmaids and more.

The Woven Daily Crossbody Bag makes the perfect beach bag for one, yet is not too big to carry up to lunch on the boardwalk or out for drinks at a beach bar.  I was able to get my towel, a water bottle, magazines and more into the bag.

One lesson I learned the hard way is to keep your sunscreen in a separate little pouch in your beach bag.  Let's just say that iPhones don't work well when sunscreen seeps in through the earpiece.  I found this toiletry bag on Uncommon Goods, and I loved the pretty design.  The artist sends her woodblock carvings to India to have them printed by fair-trade artisans.  The bag is the perfect size to hold all my sunscreens and keep my electronics safe.

They couldn't resist sticking their toes in the water, but it was cold for these two Florida girls!
