It occurred to me that I never shared these awesome nautical charts you can purchase from our shop with your personalized information. They make the perfect wedding, hostess, anything gifts and would also be the perfect addition to your coastal home this summer :)<br />

Are any of you still here?? It's been A YEAR since my last post but I'm going to try and rev up my beach inspired postings this summer :) A lot has happened including the growth of Pure Joy Paperie in the weddings and art sector and I'm honestly having a blast! It has been the perfect career move for me as I am able to stay home and raise my son (girl on the way this July!) and do what I love while making a little $$ to help out around the house. Honestly, I could not think of a better situation.<br />
<br />
How have you been?? There are so many gorgeous images circulating the web so I'm sure you've been keeping up with all the latest and greatest in coastal chic living. I've been loving Pinterest and catching up on a few blog posts here and there... We're actually redoing our house (which I'll share) so I've been scouring the web for inspiration.<br />
<br />
Well, in keeping true to Flamingo Friday, I wanted to share our gorgeous watercolor flamingo that is still our #1 best seller, day after day more and more people purchase this print. I'm so happy it's been such a success because it is SO beautiful and that means people around the world share in the same happy wall art as me.<br />

Hi Everyone!! It's been a while and there have been so many changes in my life, and in my shop! My little guy turned 1 (!!!) and we bought our first house! We've been having so much fun as parents and have been working our tails off in the new house to get things ready. If you follow me at <a href="http://purejoyhome.blogspot.com/">Pure Joy Home</a>, you should have seen the before pictures and the afters are just a few weeks away!<br />
<br />
Also, <a href="http://purejoypaperie.etsy.com/">Pure Joy Paperie</a> has been growing by the minute. I've added lots of new art, stamp designs, wedding invitations and other paper goods, lucite trays, etc... We've also started wholesaling so you'll be able to find us in select stores throughout the country (super excited about that!).<br />
<br />
Here are some highlights of recent items and I always take custom requests when time permits.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm so obsessed with my Pure Vida Bracelets from Costa Rica I couldn't resist blogging about them. I heard about them on Jill's Steals and Deals from the Today Show and though I've been trying to curb my online shopping habit, I HAD to have these. I think they were like 20 something dollars for an assortment, so it was an easy justification :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">They have a cool story and I love that:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First, <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 26.25px;">The phrase “Pura Vida” </span><strong style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; line-height: 26.25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">(pu·ra vi·da)</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 26.25px;"> means "pure life" in Spanish. Enjoying life slowly, celebrating good fortune and not taking anything for granted embodies the Pura Vida Lifestyle. It's about being free and living life to it's fullest with no regrets or taking anything for granted; it's an attitude.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 26.25px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 26.25px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Here's how the bracelets came about: </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 26.25px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 26.25px;">A five week college graduation trip to Costa Rica turned into a business venture for two Southern California friends Griffin Thall and Paul Goodman. Between the beautiful sunsets and the rolling breakers, it wasn't long before these two friends began to deeply appreciate the simple Pura Vida lifestyle and the culture of the people they encountered. This is how it all began..</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 26.25px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 26.25px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">During a visit to a small community in Costa Rica, they crossed paths with two men named Jorge and Joaquin who were peddling bracelets on the street. Paul and Griffin asked them if they would be willing to make 400 bracelets to take back to the United States with them. Jorge was delighted to make such a sell, and the guys were thrilled to help them out, but to everyones good fortune, soon after returning to the states their friendship blossomed into a full-fledged business relationship." <a href="http://puravidabracelets.com/pages/story">- Pura Vida Bracelets About Page</a></span></span><br />

I'm SO excited to share the newest addition to Pure Joy Paperie, these customized nautical chart maps! I LOVE the look of nautical charts, especially when they're blown up BIG and framed on the wall. Our charts come personalized with an anchor over the exact location of your home with your family's name, established date, and address on the corner. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello, Shorelies :) I'm excited to announce Pure Joy Paperie is now designing and printing wedding invitations! There are four complete designs in the collection and I am also working on custom designs with a few brides-to-be! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The invitation is such an important aspect of the wedding because it really sets the tone for the feel of the big day. My collection is elegant and beachy in style and is printed on quality cotton paper. If you or anyone you know is the market for wedding invitations, please send them my way! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Good Morning Shorelies! I'm super excited to introduce these new state prints to the shop! Each piece is hand-drawn and and painted with watercolor, and features the most famous landmarks in the state. They are so fun to paint but do take time so the collection is slowly but surely filling out. </div>

I am taking custom requests, but only for states, not cities. I'll be working on a few special favorite vacation spots but right now that's not a priority. </div>

Shorely Chic, you have been there with me through it all, starting a business, leaving a day job, getting a new day job, an engagement, a wedding, opening a shop, interior design projects, cocktail'ing with the best of them at the most exclusive events in interior design, attending blogging conferences, and most recently, having a baby. There have been so many ups and a few downs throughout the years but you've always been there for me, right here shining bright on my modern glass top Ikea desk, keeping my passion alive. I will always remember you for that and will forever look fondly on these years.</div>

To my readers, although my passion for all things beach and chic (Shorely Chic) will forever continue, blogging about my new life as a stay at home mom feels closer to my heart and is undoubtedly a more accurate reflection of me. I am moving over to <a href="http://purejoyhome.blogspot.com/">PURE JOY HOME</a> for now and I hope that all of you who have enjoyed my voice over the years will continue to follow along, this time with a little less beach and a little more HOME. I am so looking forward to this change and connecting with you about raising little Brian, creating recipes, decorating, DIY, entertaining, attempting to get my body back after baby, and whatever else floats into the Joy household.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
You've all been amazing to blog with and I thank you for your support and enthusiasm over the years, I do hope you'll come along and join me on my next ride!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Good Morning, Lovelies! Today I'm going to show you how to make an incredibly easy fall wreath and host a fun party while you're at it ;) This past Friday night, I hosted five of my close friends for a craft night where we ate yummy fall favorites, drank (lots of) wine, and made a super cute fall craft! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went to Michaels and looked around for the most inexpensive way to make a nice fall statement and something that would be easy to whip up in a night without much skill or concentration (insert wine) required. What I came up with were these monogrammed fall wreaths. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What you need: </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A strand of berry garland</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

then you wrap the yarn around your letter gluing pieces where necessary, espeically around the bends of the letter. I was going for the moss look but that was too expensive for the group so I found this yarn that I thought had a close resemblance. </div>

<br /></div>
I'm super excited to share with you today an incredibly impressive but simple DIY for wall art. I discovered my love for watercolor in Sister Maryellen's 11th grade art class and have sadly not picked up a paint brush since, until yesterday. I'll never forget how those 45 minutes of art class took me away from my everyday high school happenings and lost me into the life of the canvas; it was such a nice release. With my new life as a stay at home mommy, I can finally afford a few extra minutes in my day and decided it was time to break out my painting supplies and try out a few strokes with the old brush.<br />
<br />
I made a bunch of these ombre watercolors which look so awesome hanging up in white frames. The simplicity of the work required for these paintings is no reflection on how stunning they really are, the depth of the colors pop and it's so much fun to try our different paints.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
what you need:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
watercolor paints </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
watercolor paper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
glass of water to dip your brush</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
paintbrush</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a piece of wood or any hard surface to tape your paper to so that it doesn't move with the strokes of your brush</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
what you do:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
paint! Play with your paints to mix the perfect shade of your choice of color and start with horizontal strokes on the top. You'll want to mix less water into the strokes so the paint is more concentrated and thus darker. As you stroke your brush horizontally down your paper, you'll add more and more water to lighten the color and create the ombre effect. </div>

Hellooo Lovelies! I am SO enjoying maternity leave and playing housewife/mom -- wait, I guess I'm not really "playing" anymore, am I?<br />
<br />
The other day I was in a total slump about what to make for dinner when I decided to browse through my mother's issue of <a href="http://www.womansday.com/">Women's Day</a>. It's not a magazine I would have thought about subscribing to because I guess it doesn't seem "young and hip" enough but I actually LOVED it and am thrilled to have something new in my monthly line-up! It's very budget-friendly and has lots of amazing recipes, fashion tips, house-keeping strategies, etc...<br />
<br />
So with a baby at home and not wanting to go to the grocery store for ingredients, I decided to try an adapted version of the spanish tortilla in the latest issue:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello!! It's been a few weeks but guess what I've been up to?! Loving every little ounce out of this muffin, our baby boy, Brian Michael Joy Jr., born July 19th at 5:59 AM weighing in at 8.6 lbs. and 20.5 inches long. What a beautiful birth it was, after a long 4 hour push Brian came into this world with the sun rising and into the arms of his mommy and daddy who will love him whole heartedly forever and ever.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't even begin to explain how motherhood has changed me. Loving Brian is like no love I could have ever imagined, he is the most beautiful boy and a miracle that I just can't stop admiring.</div>

Good Afternoon Lovelies! Checking in here after a productive weekend working in the house and some intense nesting in the kitchen :) It's been hot, hot, hot here and the only things I wanted to eat are fresh vegetables and fruits. This pasta was SO easy and got rave reviews from Brian. I whipped it up in about 20 minutes and it was made with fresh summer veggies you can find at any farmers market or grocery store. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh and before I get into the recipe, I'm 40 weeks and 4 days today, this little bambino is in no rush!! <div>

Hi Everyone!! It's been a crazy couple of weeks here in Shorely Chic land. We moved and here I am 40 weeks pregnant!!! I'm feeling good despite the crazy heat we're having here in the northeast and just waiting for this little guy to get going with his decent into the world :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are JUST settling in to the new house and I'm loving it so far! It's not done but since I don't know will happen in the next few days I wanted to share some photos of the progress. </div>

We got the table from Pottery Barn and white upholstered chairs at IKEA. They will eventually sit at the heads of the table and we have four <a href="http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1606019">Restoration Hardware Madeline Chairs</a> on the way which will sit on the sides.</div>

I found this bar at a thrift shop and it was finished in a "lodge-y/vermont-y" stain. We simply painted it a high gloss black and voila - we got our perfect bar for $50 :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My family has always loved a good type drawer filled with shells and my mom made this one a few years ago, I thought it was perfect for above the bar with our Hawaiian beads hanging from the side to remind us of our honeymoon. My dad made the playa sign which I love.</div>
