Falling for the Beach

We love the beach and walking along the

Jersey shore on one of its famous boardwalks.

 

But we rarely make the trip in the Fall.

This past weekend was like an

old fashioned "Indian Summer" with

beautiful temperatures and minimal clouds.

Saturday we went to a local amusement park...

 

 

 

...then took a trip down to my favorite beach

yesterday. Needed to get away and clear

the fog in my head. We've been really busy

and I witnessed a bad accident on Friday

trying to get Bebe to ballet class.

 

This ocean side town is always

 a great getaway for me.

 

Combine that with my love for picture

taking and it all adds up to be a fun time.

 

 

Bebe likes to comb the beach for shells.

Broken shells, unique colors, twisty shapes,

...she loves so many! She calls them "rare"

and is happy to have these special treasures. 

 

I love the old architecture. This is the

music pier and there are many

events held in the auditorium

from the Miss New Jersey Pageant to

orchestra performances.

 

 

My favorite candy shop was all decorated for fall.

Weird to see pumpkins on the boardwalk...

but also a welcoming sight.

 

With all that has been going on in the

world this was a bit unnerving.

Until we saw that the parrot was also

missing its head! They were probably

working on it in the off season.

What a relief.

 

 

Yes, a visit to my favorite beach, which is filled

with many memories, helps to make new ones, too. 

It is the start of a new week, a fresh one with
a new outlook, and I'll be busy working in
my shop... still more vintage goodies to list!

Also, working on starting a vintage link party.
Which do you like better: "Flea Market Tuesdays"
or "Let's Talk Vintage?"

More to come!
