Symbols of June

Thanks to the fabulous Shell Mitchell for the topics for this go around of the EtsyBloggers Blog Carnival! (If you haven't been to Shell Mitchell's shop and seen her fabulous fingerless gloves you should check them out!)

Choice of topics are:
1) Schools Out For Summer! What are your summer plans or share your favorite end of the school year story.
or
2) June symbols - June's birthstone is the pearl or moonstone. June's flower is the rose. Share your favorites or stories or blog on June symbols of your own.

As we have no real plans of yet for summer (other than preparing for upcoming shows and enjoying the fresh local produce) I thought I would find a representation of each June symbol mentioned. But I thought it would be fun to find items that were created by some of my fellow EtsyBloggers! Enjoy the beauty and creativity...

There was no mention of cupcakes?
Happy Birthday to You Cupcake Gift Tags by Stampin' Mom

Now why would I make a silly mistake like that? It is well known to my nearest and dearest that I'm a cupcake addict. So why throw cupcakes into the mix of June symbols? Because the month of June just also happens to be the month my birthday falls in! How could I not include the cupcake as one of my June symbols? Which leads me to the next symbol I feel inclined to also include:

What's your sign, baby?
Representing the Crab:
Crab Feed Tea Towels by Endevour Design
(a serious lack of crab creations amongst the EtsyBloggers led me
slightly askew from my original intention)
