#1 – Portable Beach Umbrella
There’s still plenty of Summer left to use this portable beach umbrella!
We have two of these umbrellas that we’ve been using for the past 20 years – and they still look like new and work exactly as they should. We’ve used our umbrellas as shade for the pool, as spectator shade for our kids softball games and tournaments, as shade on our deck, and shade at the beach at our lake house. The umbrellas are stored in their carrying case, which keeps them looking nice when not in use and makes it easy to haul the umbrellas with you anywhere you go. You can “screw” the umbrella into the sand or grass for instant shade at the beach or park, or you can slip the umbrella post into an umbrella holder. So many uses for these umbrellas!
This past week I was searching for a sail shade for our firepit, when I spotted this umbrella (again). I bought a new umbrella (in bright orange to match the firepit decor) and can’t wait to have a bit of shade out there during the day.
Trust me – you can’t go wrong with this umbrella! You’ll get years of use out of it and lots of cool shade.
#2 – Trip to the Moon Wall Sculpture
I love this classic Trip to the Moon wall sculpture, inspired by the Jules Verne novel, and created by French artist Frederic Levesque. This is an icon of the early film years and would look awesome in a home theater room!
This wall sculpture could also be used on a wall in a flower garden – what a fun focal point this would be! I think it would also look neat in a family game room or even in an entry way. It’s fun and unusual and sure to make people smile.
#3 – Serenity Glass LED Gazing Globe
This LED gazing globe is truly serene! By day, the globe is dark blue. By night, it transforms into a glistening green that makes the crackle-glass shimmer. The globe can be used on a table, or put into a stand (sold separately). The globe runs on three AA batteries and LED lights.
I think this globe would be a perfect addition to a front porch or patio – illuminating the night while star gazing and sipping a cool Summer beverage. It would also look right at home near a pool for a soft glow while swimming at night. And, I also think this globe would look spectacular on a bathroom vanity or even on a dining room table.
Where would you use this globe?

You can find product links to all three things on Pinterest at Things I Like and you can find some of these things in my Amazon Marketplace Storefront.
NOTE: Since my job is an online store and mentoring ecommerce business owners, I spend a LOT of time online each day. While most of that time is spent working, I do occasionally stumble across websites, articles, and cool things that I really like. I save these things to a Pinterest board, so someday when I have some free time, I can go back to that board and enjoy the things I found. I enjoy sharing these fun finds with you, and hope you find them interesting, too!
