LL Bean Sea Glass Wreath: Super Sunny Décor
Are you a wreath person? This Sea Glass wreath ($89), from LL Bean, is lovely. It would look great on Chum Bucket’s door. It’s described as being for indoor use only. I don’t see why you couldn’t hang it on your front door for a few months as long as you’re willing to change out the ribbon.

8 Great hostess gifts for a beach house
Know someone with a vacation home near a sandy beach? When you’re invited to stay, don’t forget these few important tips. First, guests are like fish – they begin to smell after a few days. Don’t plan to spend the month asking what’s for dinner. Second,¬† don’t get so drunk that you break their favorite lamp (I guess the old raggedy one is okay). Most importantly, don’t forget to bring an unforgettable gift. Your host and hostess will never forget your good manners. Best of all, you’ll be sure to be invited back next year.
