It’s officially….summer! From sun up to sun down, you’ll have more sun today than any other, as it’s the Summer Solstice. I think the perfect place to spend the day would be Sunset Beach on Shelter Island with its quintessential summer vibe.
I’ve always loved this day, because in addition to being the “longest” day of the year, it’s also my birthday.
Wishing you sunshine all day long and a relaxing kick off to summer!

Happy Birthday! Here's hoping there's a great sunset today.
Happy Birthday Elizabeth! Hope you are doing something fun and relaxing and whatever floats your boat. You sure got a gorgeous day to celebrate!!
Wishing you all great things on this day and throughout the coming year:)
Happy Birthday Elizabeth!
Hope you make a trip to Sunset Beach…I was there last summer and felt as though I was in the South of France.

happy birthday to my most BEAUTIFUL Elizabeth! You deserve to be showered with love, hugs kisses, sunshine and relaxation!
XOXOXO Tina
Happy, happy, happy Birthday, Elizabeth!!!! How lucky you are to get the longest day as your birthday!! Have a blessed day and enjoy this sunshine! xoxo
Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, Elizabeth! How wonderful that we celebrate you on the longest day of the year! Does that make you a Gemini or a Cancer? (I'm a Gemini, but several of my closest friends and my husband are Cancers.) Hope your day and the year ahead are full of brightness and sunshine. Happy weekend! Have fun!! XOXO
Happy Birthday, Elizabeth! Have a great day.

Happy Birthday!! And you need the Sunset Beach Soundtrack if you don't have it. I love this spot (and all of Shelter Island!) xx
Happy Happy!!!!!
Happy Birthday – what a special day! and thanks to my friend Allison Smith (xxoo Allison) for introducing me to you several years ago. I enjoy your blog.
And Shelter Island is astounding – I am blessed to have two Shelter Island chefs & growers featured in my book, The Hamptons & Long Island Homegrown Cookbook. Hope you will visit Vine Street Cafe and 18 Bay while you are on Shelter Island. Doesn't get any better. Cheers!
happy birthday Elizabeth! sending you a 'virtual' glassybaby since I know you are a fan!…for you I would choose the color 'Sunset' on this happy first day of summer. 🙂
Happy Birthday!
Our 8 th summer on Shelter Island best place on earth and sure beats the heat at our home in Texas! Love Sunset Beach, & don't miss Vine Street restaurant.
I hope you had a wonderful birthday, Elizabeth! What a charming little place. Makes me want to go there as well. xo
Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes!!!!! You all helped make my day all the more special.
In answer to the question….am I a Gemini or a Cancer, I'm on the cusp. I grew up believing I was a Gemini (which suits me well) yet I have taken on Cancer tendencies through the years. I guess I'm a little bit of both!!!!
xoxo, Elizabeth
