Strolling Along in Atlantic City: Vintage Souvenirs

Well, okay, so the title of this blog post is a little

misleading... I am not actually in Atlantic City.

 

 

But this antique, Atlantic City 

souvenir vase, from my shop, has

inspired me to imagine the

sound of the ocean, the sea gulls,

and to feel the sand between my toes.

 

All of that from an itty bitty

little souvenir someone

picked up while they were there

many, many moons and

high tides ago.

 

I love the 3D effect, the flowers

just shaped and molded there.

 

And to think it was made in Germany.

Were the workers at the factory

wondering what it was like to be

in Atlantic City?

 

Some of the souvenir postcards

in my shop give us an idea...

(heavy black bathing suits)

 

Here are some scenes at night.

What fun it must have been!

Walking along with the

moon lighting the way.

 

They were always dressed

in their best clothes.

 

 

And soon, we will be strolling along

the beach, too!

 

It is nice to get away,

if only in my imagination.

(Big smile)

 

Vintage souvenirs are great

inspiration pieces and I'm marking

my calendar for our first trip

to the beach of 2015!

 

Enjoy the day,
