A day at the beach



Gotta love this shot. A little shopping beforehand. Look at the awful flip flops they were trying to sell in a souvenir shop. We had to take pictures because no one would quite be able to picture them with words only. And NO we did not purchase them. lol Mine are the red toes, you see on the pale feet. Look at that gorgeous blue sky. No photo retouching here, just pure mother nature.

This is a April Cornell quilt that I found for get this $4.50 at a thrift shop in Charleston. We were in need of a beach blanket so I ran in to see what they had then laundered it and voila it was perfect. I love the colors and the vintage look of the fabric.
Well I have housework calling my name so off I go. Have a lovely Monday.

    So the umbrella shot was cool. Maybe inspiration for your beach painting?
