My Very First Time!


Hello friends. How was your Easter weekend? Mine was great! We went on one of our usual weekend jaunts, this time to the eastern coast of Virginia.  We hit a couple of yard sales along the way where I found three, yes, three, tres, trios, vintage cameras to add to my collection! That alone made the trip worth it. We also stopped at a couple of thrift stores and I got a few things I’ll show you later.
     The area we visited is a charming mix of farmland and coastal flavor. I was all dressed up and ready to take some beachy  photos. But when we got to our destination, Sting Ray Point, we found there was no public beach access. So guess what? No pics. Well, the next day we stuck to our own back yard so to speak and went to our local lake a couple miles down the road. I wore the same outfit and still got to take some watery themed photos. All’s well that ends well. By the way, this was my first time wearing a maxi. I said I was going to do it this weekend and I did. It’s not the same one I had pictured here, but I still think it worked out.

I'll see you all at Monday Mingle, Visible Monday and Thrifters Anonymous tonight.

Gap T-strap sandals: I’ve had these forever!




It was kind of windy that day.





Pretty soon every one of these slips will be filled with boats, but for now, sweet serenity!
