Yes indeed. And I can hear it calling my name. We're heading to the beach for the weekend, and I just can't wait! I always wished I lived near the ocean. Could see myself spending hours there. It's funny that many people I know who live on the coast hardly ever go to the beach. Then there are those of us who long for it. Such is life I suppose. It's human nature to take for granted what is right in front of you. You just get caught up in the day to day stuff. I could so be a beach bum though......
Here is some of my collection of vintage shell jewelry from the 40's and 50's. Love the soft colors and gentle curves of the shells. Nature meets fashion I guess you could say. Most of these are earrings, but there are a few pins in the mix too.
These old necklaces remind of the candy necklaces with each little candy bead strung on there. One of them still has the Polsky's department store tag hanging from it. Polsky's was an old store in downtown Cleveland in the 40's, 50's and 60's I believe. My grandma used to work there as a saleslady in the Juniors dept. And look who's peeping over the table. Always underfoot, he is.
Adorable little treasures from the sea. A few old ones in there but most of them are new ones that I've picked up from those junky beach shops that litter the coast. I just love these little change purses.
OK, time to pack up the beach bag and get my maternity moo moo bathing suit out of storage. I feel like such a beach goddess in that thing!
See you Monday! Enjoy the weekend! xo andrea
