Vintage Beach Style..

It's been hot and humid in our neck of the woods.
We escaped south to cooler climes.
Oceanside and Solana Beach.

 Lucky Street Market







































The entrance to the wonderland.
I may have held my breathe as I entered.
It is lovely.

















































Bling and shiny things.


























Flowers for the garden.



























Music better than the Andrew Sisters.
I mean it.  Look at Holly's foot tapping action.

























The bowlers are wired as pendent lamps.
Charming.


















The picket shelf caught my eye.  Picket always does.


























The photo doesn't do the turtle justice.
The shells are translucent.


























Come on, this little cabinet has my name all
over it, but alas, babies need new school shoes
more.  

























Speaking of babies and new shoes.  Check
out Holly's Adidas.  And Jacob, you ask?
He's covered.



































This little tub called my name as we exited.

My light is Jesus


Matthew 5:16

King James Version (KJV)
16 Let your light so shine before men, 
that they may see your good works, 
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Amen

Summer of '76























 
Last night I had a bit of a pity party.  
Feeling fat and witchy poo like.
All it took was trying on a new dress.
Being hunched over makes buying
suitable clothes difficult. 
  
Most of the time, I walk around 
with a fantasy dancing in my head. 
The fantasy is of my able body of years
ago.  Occasionally the current reality 
crushes my spirit but never for long.
