Ocean Decor........

    These are left over photos from a shop in Middlebury, when I was with my daughter Kathy. If you click on the pictures , they will enlarge and you can see the smaller items.
   This looks like something fun for a pool house. Or sun porch at a lake. I think I wore a suit like that blue one when I was a kid. :)
    I wish I had touched this whale statue...just to see what it was made from. I loved the color of it. I do not think those coral pieces are real....they surely just manufacture  those things now.
  This is a jumbled up shot. I was going for the driftwood mobile and the wooden whale on two dowel rods sitting on a wooden base.
    I thought these lady figurines were cute. Kind of old fashion in their attire. Body covering suits and swim caps.
 
   These figurines were placed along side serving dishes  and coasters. Don't you love their poses?
      Lots of seaside blue color. The paintings of the sail boats ...I really did like them.  Candles with fresh scents. I like the big lantern . My daughter like the signs. Coastal and  beach spelled out with rope and sewn to a piece of rabbit fencing.
This picture has little lights for the stars and the lighthouse beam. I thought it could be a nite-lite  possibly. Love the color of the  cabinet it is leaning against.
   Had to reschedule my dental appointment for Thursday. Just more time to fret. :)   Mean time I just keep brushing, flossing and praying.
   The weather has been so good here. A thin cloudy look with sunshine today. Yesterday, opened  the windows and aired out the house. It was heavenly.  Listening to birds singing and squabbling.  Ted dug out the fire pit and hauled all the wood ash to our friend's garden.  Then he got  our water features  cleaned and freshly filled .  I cleaned up and rearranged the porch.  Still some things to do there.
   Hope everyone's Tuesday is good.  Let's keep those in danger of floods in the south, in our thoughts and prayers.  XO

  1. Good Morning! Oh, I just love seeing all the beach décor. The figurines and the bathing suits bring back memories from childhood. It feels so nice to open up the windows and enjoy fresh air and birdsong. Have a lovely day, Susie.

  4. I clicked on the pictures, you see so much more that way. If the coral isn't real, someone put the sign in the wrong place that says "keep it real". lol I liked the figurines too.

    1. Peggy, I thought of that too...but I thought there were laws against taking coral from the oceans now. I have a fan coral...it's make of rubber. LOL. But looks so real. I like that sign don't you? Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie

  5. Those little bathing beauties are precious. Guess they would be in the 20's. Risque for them. Quite covered up, in today's age. :-)

    We are still in working-on-it stage of yard work. Much more to be done. Eeeeek! :-)

    Yes, those floods. Awful. -sigh-

    Gentle hugs,

    1. Kathy, It would be fun to have a place near water to decorate in that style. I loved the soft scented candles they had too. I am not into heavy perfumed things. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

    1. Hi Nellie, Glad you are having sunshine. Our day cleared up and the farmers are going crazy in the fields. I remember wearing a swim cap of a friends to keep my hair dry for going to church later. LOL. I don't think I have worn once since. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

  11. My daughter, Summer, has a beach themed bathroom! It's huge! I could put a small sofa and table in there and use it as a sitting room! She would love everything about this post! Someday when she gets old enough to retire, she'll get to read blogs and make friends!
    It sounds like you are feathering your nests! Inside and out!

    1. Linda, I love big bathrooms. Our here is smaller than any I have ever had. I am not loving it either. LOL It will be nice when Summer retires and you two can do so many things together. Hope you are not being flooded there. I think about you guys every time now when it rains like crazy there. I am hoping we don't get any of that heavy stuff either. Blessings, love you, xoxo, Susie

  13. Hi Susie, So many cute beachy items! I just remembered a friend of mine was having issues with a tooth and was going to need a root canal(can we say ouch), she researched it and found that if you use Tom's natural toothpaste-that helps restore damage, it can also help with pain from cavities. She tried it and it worked-think she still needed her dental work done, but it helped with the pain. You might want to try it till tomorrow. Hope your appointment goes well.
    Hugs,

    1. Noreen, I use that sensodine tooth paste. I some times think well this tooth is ok...then the next day, I think Oh this tooth isn't right. Just want to be done with it. I did get in and get my mammogram and bone density scan...all in a half hour..they were side by side. How very nice. I would have gotten my blood work if I had thought not to have breakfast this morning.LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
