The Beach!!!

Since I live so far from the ocean, well at least the warm ocean and love it so much.

I like to bring it into my home. This week I found the find of all finds at one of my

favorite stores Ross. Is this not the cutest flamingo/stork you have ever seen? I could

not resist the purchase. I look at this bird and it makes me smile. Those that know me well

know that in my next life I want to come back as a seagull so I could live the good life eating

all the junk food I want and living at the beach, and of course it would be fun to bomb a few bathing

beauties for fun.

The picture in the middle is something I have wanted to put together for a while. Jannica

gave me some cash for my Birthday last year and told me I had to spend it on myself.

Well I did. I bought some shells last summer and this pot. When Eric and I stayed at our

timeshare last year there was a really cute arrangement I got an idea for. I finally put it together, and I love it.

The 3rd picture is just my fireplace mantel. I purchased a new seahorse candle holder and candle

and just rearranged things.On my mantel I have a wooden turtle and pelican that I got from my mom and dad's home. I wish I knew where my mom bought them. She always brought home souvenires from her trips and I know this must have been from one of their fabulous vacations. There was a whale too, although I don't know who ended up with it.  I now think that every room in my home is ocean themed.

I know it is an obsession.
