Saltwater Sounds Weekly Wrap-up

Welcome to Saltwater Sounds, a weekly collection of ideas, tips, and inspiration. This is where I share all that’s been going on in the world of Shiplap and Shells, what’s to come and the inspiration I have found from other bloggers around the web.


Random This & That

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING! It’s here, it’s finally here! Does it feel like spring where you are today? It looks like we’ll have rain through Monday. The days are warming up into the 50s, but the nights are REALLY cold, still in the 30s. I’ll be out in the greenhouse sowing the rest of the seeds this weekend.


Website issues: This week has been a struggle, and it’s not over yet. Do you remember me mentioning a few weeks ago that I had an audit done on my website and I had someone working on it? Well, let’s just say I have been learning a ton about things I’m not sure if I want to learn about. Just kidding… maybe.

At least when you don’t know what you don’t know, you don’t stress about it, right? Anyway, please, PLEASE be patient with me and my blog for another week or so. There are crazy things happening. I’ve heard that there are errors sometimes when clicking on links, etc. so hopefully this will all be sorted out soon and I will have a happy, speedy site for you to enjoy again.


Magazine Feature: Have you had a chance to grab a copy of the Spring/Summer Better Homes & Gardens Cottage Style Magazine yet? If you have, you’ll know that my summer garden was featured.


Out and About: I was out getting my hair done last week and stopped at a few places. I thought it would be fun to share…

The spring flowers are in full force out there in the local nurseries!

  1. Kim … I love this old photo of your home. Wow, what a long way it’s come since the 70’s. I only visited Gig Harbor once during my two years in the PNW … I missed this cute shop. Darn. Thanks for including me in your inspiration links. What a thrill! Good luck with your web-site issues … it’s working beautifully for me today. Tech stuff is so frustrating. Happy Spring! xo

  2. Kim, I am finally catching up on all my blog post reading. I love the picture of your house in the 70s. Hard to believe our houses are similar in age (mine was built in 1910). Those forsythia faux blossoms are so life-like. My guess is that your have more fun garden spots like The Garden Room than we have in Phoenix. Thanks for sharing all the great inspiration. Good luck on wrapping up your blog issues! Will look for you in BH&G.
