Mahjong Boat and Tote & Great Find

Embroidery for My Mahjong Boat and Tote

So I am a huge fan of the iconic L.L.Bean Boat and Tote. I have several and use them for errands, the beach, the farmer's market, a car organizer, and at CCC for dog toys, Christmas ornaments, and my wine tasting things. I thought yesterday about getting a new one to start storing what is sure to become a growing cache of mahjong things. Low and behold I discovered that the L.L.Bean Maine Coast Croquet Boat and Tote is taking the mahjong world by storm.

Setting the Memorial Day Table

This is a fun take on setting a red, white, and blue table that is beachy and summery. Blue and white stripes are used in the placemats and napkins.

Frances Valentine is having a sale with some of my favorite pieces at great prices. An example is their iconic embroidered caftan. I have four of these including the navy and pink version above. It is such a statement piece and one of the most comfortable things I own.

So I have officially unboxed and styled my very first set of mahjong tiles. They are in a vintage Mottahedeh for Winterthur blue and white Chinese dragon bowl. I have had this bowl for decades and it is a favorite, so I thought it would be a great choice. I love it.
