I stopped by Bikini Headquarters today to pick up a bathing suit I had put on hold last week and found this bracelet while I was in there. I loved it and had to get it. It reminded me of the "sailor's knots" bracelets that I wore as a child every summer. I would get a new crispy white bracelet at the beginning of every summer and never take it off. It would get soft and mold to my wrist and that crisp white would turn a weathered color.... The thought of those bracelets remind me of summer. Beach days, pool days, playing with friends, salty skin, chlorine hair, days spent in bathing suits, dirty feet, and happy sleep. So when I saw this bracelet, this "grown up version" of my childhood summer bracelet, I knew I had to get it. Because it just made me smile:-).
*Dear God
be good to me;
the sea is so wide,
and my boat is so small.
