Anita, welcome to the CUTE family - I am assuming you have found what you needed with those that have posted - if not - let us know - so we can help you search.
I bought these two scenes from Dakota Collectibles - I love them.
Bunnycup has a free set in their retired sets called "Summertime at the Beach" there is a pail and shovel in it and some other realy cute designs.
http://www.designsbysick.com/deta... has some cute stuff for summer, no pail but a sand castle, flip flops,words (June, July, August, summer) and some other stuff. Check it out Hope it helps. :)
Do you have your flip-flops yet? And how about sunglasses? Are you looking for appliques, or just embroidery? Bet you get help soon. (((summer and beach blankets!))) You probably don't want cross-stich, but look what I found! I'm going to "do this" by hand, or not!
Ann the Gran has a child carrying a pail and shovel. Look under "beach pail" "Seashore".
