feedin' the seagulls...

it's hot enough...

...so why aren't we in sunny florida..... hearing the surf.... smelling the salty air....

...feeling the constant wind on our faces...eating fresh seafood!

instead, i am just playing around with my new camera and some coral i found on a visit to key west years ago....

hope y'all are cool and happy where you are! xx c

Back from Vacation....

...well, like Dorothy said, "There is no place like home!" The beach was wonderful - the whole two weeks with family, and especially my precious granddaughters. But I am ready to get back to it! Lots of projects and pillows coming up - I have some fabulous European grainsacks that I am just itching to get at and some cute vintage tablecloths too! Just glad my reset button was pushed - I am refreshed!

Dreaming of the Beach...

...maybe we can get away soon, but looking at these photos will have to do for now!

Becky in Venice

Oh to be a 25 year old single woman living in Europe! The next best thing to being that is having a daughter who is doing it! Becky vacationed in Italy last week and shared with me these wonderful pictures and I want to share them with you! Hope you enjoy them...

It took me a while, it was hard to pare it down from the 87 pics she sent me!

Dreaming of the Beach....

Close your eyes and feel the bright sun warm your face, hear the gulls and drifts of a radio over the noise of the waves. Take a deep breath and smell suntan lotion and salty air. I am so ready for a trip to Mexico Beach - ready for reading, napping and fresh seafood. Here are a few pics from our last trip. Hope you enjoy!

Call us crazy, but we went down when one of the hurricanes was coming, we had lots of wind and were pretty much alone at the hotel, just us and the gulls. What a restful vacation!
