Our latest Bar Cart Club has officially set sail - and this one's all about capturing the laid-back charm of coastal living. Whether you're stitching on a dock, dreaming of a New England getaway, or simply channeling salty air and sunshine from home, this box brings a little piece of seaside bliss right to your stitching spot.
From rosy pours to garden blooms, thoughtful tools to a breezy canvas scene, the Summer by the Sea Bar Cart Club was designed to celebrate long summer days and slow, relaxing stitches. Let's take a closer look at what was inside:
Canvas: Summer by the Sea
The star of the shore! This canvas brings together everything we love about a New England summer afternoon - chilled rosé, a seafood tower, and a lemonade pitcher sit atop the cart. Below, you'll find a straw sun hat, Jack Rogers-style sandals, and an Adirondack chair draped with an American flag sweater. All of it is set against a white picket fence bursting with bright florals and coastal greens. A reminder to savor every summer moment.
The Garden Gate Caryall
This garden-inspired project bag pairs perfectly with the canvas. Featuring a white fence wrapped in blooming pink and purple flowers, this lightweight zipper pouch is great for summer stitching on the go - whether you're headed to the beach or the backyard.
Outdoor Shower Needle Minder
Nothing says summer like an outdoor shower after a dip in the ocean. This cheeky needle minder, shaped like a sign with a striped towel slung over the corner, is a nod to those sun-soaked post-beach rinses we all know and love.
Coastal Cutaway Seam Ripper
A Bar Cart Club first! This pearly seam ripper lanyard necklace is both functional and beautiful. Whether worn or tucked in your toolkit, it's the ideal accessory for tidying up stitches with a bit of coastal style.
Bottle & Boat Tote
A nod to the classic summer caryall, this mini canvas tote is perfectly sized for a bottle of wine (or your favorite lemonade). Whether you're heading to the beach, the dock, or a backyard get-together, it's the kind of little extra that makes summer sipping feel even more special.
Specially Selected Fibers
To bring the breezy charm of this canvas to life, we included a curated mix of specially selected fibers. Soft blues, garden greens, lemony yellows, and just a touch of shimmer were chosen to echo the relaxed elegance of a coastal summer day. Whether you're stitching florals, glassware, or sunlit details, these threads help capture the warmth and ease of the season.
Thank you for another magical season of the Bar Cart Club! Curating each box continues to be one of my favorite parts of the year, and this one felt especially nostalgic and fun. I hope it brought a little coastal calm - and a lot of joy - to your summer stitching. I can't wait to show you what's coming next!
XO, Morgan
