How about some Turquoise, emerald green, beige and browns to escape winter and its cold colors.

Lily designs and Catherine designs have teamed up to bring you this colorful and unique collection that captures the essence of the sea , islands of the Mediterranean Sea and beach destinations.

“ maggie and milly and molly and may went down to the beach(to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles, and

milly befriended a stranded star whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing which raced sideways while blowing bubbles; and

may came home with a smooth round stone as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose(like a you or a me) it's always ourselves we find in the sea”

By e.e cummings

Even the smallest things can help brighten your day, like for Maggie it was a shell that sang. What each girl finds (By the Sea) is a reflection of herself. And isn't that what we all find in life? We hope that ‘By the Sea’ will inspire you to scrap all these beautiful beach or holidays memories whether they are from the Eastern part of the world or the West , from the South or the North, from Winter or Summer...
