Coastal Cleveland

Here they are…those patios and porches you’ll find us this summer when we head west! Most are out in the Marblehead + Catawba area, but we ALWAYS stop at Patina Porch in Sandusky on our way.

These are the places where the wine is chilled, the live music is playing (at most), the summer breezes can be felt and all your cares go away…

They’re my favorite spots to relax and rejuvenate and sometimes I think to myself…I can’t believe we’re just minutes from home as I feel FAR away from home.

Maybe I’ll see you there this summer ☀️

Can we please talk Patio Season? It’s my absolute favorite 💕

On Sundays during the summer, Brian and I can usually be found making this little trip out west…

No matter what, we ALWAYS start our day at Patina Porch in Sandusky. It’s eclectic, full of vintage and there’s absolutely nothing like it.

For a quiet little seat along the river, we also may visit Pipe Creek Wharf | Waterfront Dining (pictured here)

We then head out to Marblehead for some live music and boat views at Hidden Beach Bar official

Then it’s a visit to my most favorite spot to decompress - Rocky Point Winery - live music and Adirondack chairs in a tree covered back yard…I could sit here all day 💕

More live music, beautiful views and good apps can be found at Gideon Owen Wine Company

And then, if we’re lucky, we’ll find a few seats at orchardbarandtable new outdoor space for dinner. I’m obsessed with their freestanding bar - great food, great drinks and summer breezes overlooking the orchard. Swoon…

Where do you love to sit and take in the summer beauty?

“TT, did I hear Nonnie say that she’s bringing back the navy blue BAY hat?”

“She is Dean! And the royal blue and cherry red just arrived last weekend! Just in time for Bay Days and the 4th of July 🇺🇸✨❤️🤍💙

Our family absolutely loves this time of the year!

There is really no one else I know that can rock red, white and blue like my girl Marcy Hoke Marcy Hoke

Whether she’s at the US Open, vacationing in Captiva or sitting in Bay Village on the 4th of July, she ALWAYS looks her nautical and east coast best.

She’s a fashion icon in her own right and I feel honored that she has some of my CLE hats in her wardrobe ❤️

I’m currently stocked up on navy blue, a fabulous cherry red and some star CLE hats that are perfect for your July 4th weekend. 🇺🇸🎆♥️ Check them out!

Whether you’re at a baseball game, the airport, Kelley’s Island, Emilie’s Coffee Shop or on vacation somewhere in the world, my heart always fills when I see you in one of my CLE hats.

I started these several years ago when I launched a few colors with one of my summer collections. I had no clue what the response of the community would be. Several thousand hats later and loads of new color options, I’m still at it!

How many Coastal Cleveland CLE hats do you have in your collection?

And what colors are you looking for? I’m ordering more today!

❤️🤍💙

Back in THE LAND at our home away from home with the best seats in the house 💛

Feels good to be home.

LET’S GO CAVS!!!!

Looking for someone to pick up my shift at Emilie’s for the rest of the month…

just kidding

Although 3 weeks of this has been incredibly fabulous, I’ve missed seeing all my beautiful friends at the coffee shop. And I’m even more excited to launch our June menus because they are FAB. U. LOUS!!!!!

AND after a two year hiatus, a summer Coastal Cleveland Collection will be launching (SOON!!!)

See you soon friends!

☀️☀️☀️

This is one of my favorite spots in Cape Coral along with one of my most favorite salads. 💕

We love this spot for casual delicious dining, marina views, live music, great drinks and breezy porch dining. However, Emilie loves it because she has become the master lobster catcher of the family.

We have been here countless times over the years with friends and family and I’m wishing now that I had taken more pics with our guests!

It’s the place that Sophia had her first bite of lobster. (I actually do have pictures of that, but I’ll keep those close to me 😏)

Brian loves the Shrimp & Grits and the Oh My Gorg which is a hamburger with gargonzola, bacon, frizzled onions, pickles, arugula and thousand island dressing.

I love the Tipsy Sailor - prime filet tips, chimichurri and crostinis and the Wedge Pie - iceberg, tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles, grilled corn, avocado, pancetta and peppercorn ranch - with no crumbles and a side of truffle & parmesan fries

SO GOOD!!!

A lot of times, I get inspired on vacation for new menu items at the coffee shop. I’m going to play around with this salad. The corn, avocado and pancetta are 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 I’ll explore some house made peppercorn ranch dressing recipes. Shake up the toppings a little. Watch for it on our July menu 💕

If you’re down in the Cape Coral area, the High Tide Social House is one our whole family recommends.
