The ocean there isn't as beautiful as some others in Florida or California, but like you, the sights and sounds is what draws me in. I always feel so near to God when there as well. It's just the awesomeness of his magnificent creation. I pray I can go again someday......soon :) I love your seaside collections.

I am glad that you are keeping it.<br /><br />I was watching the movie Mrs. Brown so your bathing beauty reminds me of the scene where Queen Victoria's bath house is wheeled down to the water and she comes out and down the steps wearing an old-time bathing suit. I was quite impressed to think that the Queen could swim. <br /><br />And that sent me off wondering about Pilot Crackers of all times. I was quite disappointed to learn that they are no longer made.

A charming little cottage just steps to the ocean just sold on our lane. It is a storybook house.

You've collected a wonderful assortment of nautical treasures, Becky. The illustrations in your book are fabulous, and I'm sure the owner is happy you're the caretaker of his old book. My favorite is the plastic (looks like porcelain) doll with her adorable googly eyes. Sweet!<br /><br />I hope someday you find that cottage by the sea, Becky. :)<br /><br />VickieVickie @ Ranger 911https://www.blogger.com/profile/12847126296813987337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540459793417833940.post-65245633509211110822014-08-05T17:43:51.678-07:002014-08-05T17:43:51.678-07:00What wonderful finds.

I love to go on my lunch 1/2 hr. and just open the car windows and listen to the waves and watch the beach as I eat my lunch. I live in Southern CA but we hope to move up to Northern CA when we retire and not too far from the beach. Happy Tuesday and I hope your back feels better soon! karen....Recycled Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14188636270835953207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540459793417833940.post-54101484795457742262014-08-04T14:30:45.730-07:002014-08-04T14:30:45.730-07:00What wonderful seaside finds!
