Happy Wednesday friends! I hope that you are having a fabulous week! Today I am so excited to share with y'all some of my favorite summer finds that I hope will be helpful to you!

Hello, those of you who know me well, you are just smiling. If you know me you know that I love a big bag and summer is no exception. With the "long" trip down to the shore, you better believe that we are going to carry everything we need in one trip. Haha! And lets be real. That is just a justification because I just love bags and especially large ones. There are a couple that I think are so adorable and very affordable.

THIS ONE shown in the pictures above comes in 6 different colors and is so cute! And y'all... it is machine washable which is AMAZING. It is waterproof and less than $20 right now with the Amazon Prime Sale going on (originally less than $25). You can find it HERE!

Another cute option (and extremely popular on Amazon) is THIS mesh beach bag! It is less than $14 right now on Amazon prime sale (originally less than $17). You can find it HERE!

I have definitely mentioned this weed wacker so many times here on the blog and it is for good reason because it is lightweight, does an amazing job, and is currently 50% with the Amazon Prime Sale. I purchased this back in 2021 and use it all the time during the summer and it is still going strong. I can not recommend this enough! You can find it HERE!

Last year it became obvious that the pressure washer we used before my dad passed away was not something that I was going to be able to handle with the weight of our heavy heavy pressure washer. After talking to friends on Instagram several "home/garden influencers" recommended this pressure washer and it has been AMAZING. It is lightweight, does a fabulous job, and has different speeds depending on what you need to do. I can recommend it enough. Click HERE to purchase it!

If we are connected here in community then you know that one of our favorite spots to spend the most time at the cottage is on our open aired porch, snuggled into our cozy chairs.

The problem is that with an open air porch... at night you can have lots of "woods friends" come and visit and we like to try to protect our chairs as much as possible. In addition to that if the weather is rainy and windy everything can get wet. 

Over the last decade (since getting the chairs) we have had different covers- including individual ones. The problem honestly was that it took a lot of time to individually cover and then uncover each chair. So when our last individual covers died a couple of years ago we went searching for a better solution. We found THIS one (seen in the picture above) that has been fantastic! It is SO simple to "lock the cover down" under the chair with the elastic on four corners, it is lightweight, easy to clean, and is thick enough that even when we had a major thunderstorm and windstorm a couple of weeks ago everything stayed dry underneath. I can't recommend this enough! 

Also - great news it is on sale today too! It is less than $40 right now- Find it HERE!

Yes, I know. I mention these sunglasses all the time. But y'all they are seriously fantastic. They are less than $12 (with Amazon Prime Sale, originally less than $15) for TWO pairs and they last forever, are adorable, and are classy. I wear them all the time during the year but they don't leave my face at the lake.

You definitely need a pair. You can purchase them HERE!

So those are some of my favorite affordable summer finds for cottage life friends! I hope that you find that helpful! Leave a comment and let me know what some of your favorite summer finds are! 

Happy Wednesday!
