My son is now on a mission to surf. On a real surfboard. In the ocean. Since we live in the middle of the desert, we’ve had to get creative. Yesterday both of my kids were up on their side-turned hampers, doing some living room wave riding, with Surfing USA playing full blast on You Tube.

So I discovered the surf-inspired summer line of Boden’s kids clothing at the perfect time. I especially love these Stitched Vintage T-shirts. And 44 pages of customer reviews on the Boden site show that the people who bought these shirts love them too. Especially the detail of the embroidered images. The friend who told me about this company also tipped me off to a Boden trunk show coming to our neighborhood later this week. If I’m able to make it, I’ll be sure to share more in the days to come.
