Relaxing on the beach in Strathmere

Check out the cute little guy/gal who took a break from the blizzard by resting on the beach in Strathmere! I wish that I had been there to see him/her in person. A guy from the marine stranding center checked out the seal and said that it was fine. My friends fed it some frozen fish and after a rest it was on it's way.

Some little vintage pretties for me - found in my own house -
Digging through some old advertising items, my Dad found these two old paper items in the shape of seashells with sea fairy babies on them. He knows that I love mermaid fairy things, so he gave them to me.
Sorting through the vintage jewelry that I'm going to be listing for sale on the website, I chose these two very pretty enamel floral pins to keep for myself. The green floral pin still has an old foil label from Strawbridge &  Clothier.

Birthday Blizzard

We're in the middle of a blizzard here in the woods, on today, my brithday. We had about 1 foot of snow overnight and should get another foot on top of that today.
Here are some photos taken around 8:30 this morning, because I know that you have never seen snow before. First on the left here is the view out of my office window, just over my computer screen. The trees are really weighed down with snow. Hoping none fall, Hoping the electric doesn't go out, because that would really suck.

Below is a shot of the railing on the deck and the rhododendruns, which are usually over 6 feet high - weighed down with snow.




Someone is enjoying the snow though. Harlow loves running through the snow. It's not too easy today though, because the snow is up past her belly. She runs through the snow, mouth down, catching and eating snow in her mouth as she runs.
