Beauty abound

at the cemetery
sadness






angelic


at the shrimp festival
beads, beads, and more beads.
I stood there for quite a while just touching them!

a walk downtown
wispy

such a heavenly smell.


my son's weaving project
he won a ribbon!
around the house
new antlers.

pretty.

vintage.

on my!

It's been so long since my last post. Not much has changed, but a few thing have.
I am gainfully employed...here.














I work Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday for 10-6.
The hours are hard, but somehow I manage!  :)

I am also moving into a larger shop space.  My space now is 2'X8',  my new space will be 8'X7'.
I have been a busy bee making loads of stuff, and thrift-ing my butt off looking for treasures!
I have been making loads of chalkboards from  funky frames.

I am keeping this one.  Love the frame, I have had it for years.

I am glue-ing starfish on anything that doesn't move....
People love all things beachy here!

Of course I find more thing that I keep for myself than for the shop;
 like these thrifted fuzzy bunny banks from here. LOVE THEM!
I need more.

Oh my! I love these pixies from Jacksonville... keeping them!

I am a collector. There I admitted it.
I don't think there is a cure though.

My ever growing vintage picture collection.

I need more hobnail glass.

















We (well Bob) put in a dunking pool! It is 9' X18'. It fits in quite perfectly.
We are working on landscaping and a deck...photos to come soon.




















TTFN......

it's how we roll

in February in Florida!
morning sun in a favorite corner
a late morning view from the hammock
80 degrees with an amazing breeze.
cloudy breaks to cool off a bit.
an afternoon of swimming
skim boarding,  boogie boarding 
and dog happiness.
early evening southern sun
the windows wide open!
