Shopping Scandal

Nautical or coastal decor is one of the favorite styles for homes and building both close and far from the sea. And the reasons for this passion is primal, as explained by psychologists and scientists  that have examined the reasons why we love it. I have tried to summarize my views and those of some scientific views about this in my previous post. Aside from the science, nautical decor is just gorgeous. I've lived all my life near the sea and even when I lived in the great plains of the United States, hundreds of miles away from the coast, I tried to bring the feel of the sea to my home. Granted, some people like mountain or country styles, or minimalist or urban styles...but nautical remains one of the most popular styles! Wonder why? Because it's relaxing and beautiful and makes you feel like you're on vacation even if it's Monday morning and you live in a big city!

A friend of mine and her husband just finished their diving training and are so happy  they can't stop talking about it. I do not know anything about SCUBA diving but I shared their enthusiasm so I decided to express it in "their terms". But how to "speak Scuba"? As it turns out, I found these t-shirts by a small t-shirt designer and they loved it! And their friends now want them too! The artist is currently at Amazon but soon expanding to another website that allows her to post more designs at a time (Amazon allows only 10 designs at first).
