We're back from Sanibel Island. Back from the sand, the sun, and the warmth. Reality set in as soon as I saw the snow, and felt the blast of cold air. The distinct feeling of sadness washed over me as we traveled farther and farther north...away from the island paradise I love so much.
I always bring back plenty of shells to scatter on our beach for the grandkids to find when they stay here in the summer-time.
I found a few nice things for summer while shopping on the island with my sister.
I found the mermaid signs at Posh...as well as the cute white, ruffled top in a previous picture. If you are ever in Venice, you HAVE to visit Posh!! it's amazing!!
It might not be Sanibel Island, but Summer here at our cottage is the next best thing.
The grandkids finding seashells on the beach, playing in the water, and enjoying the sunshine is a joy like no other.
As I wait, I will remember the warmth of the southern beaches, as I surround myself with all the treasures from the sea.
Have a happy day.
Debbie

It is so hard to leave paradise and come back to reality! I am so over this winter and would love to see blooming flowers and warm temps too. Hopefully soon this snow and cold will leave us and we will begin to see Spring and new life coming back. Glad you have a wonderful time. I cannot wait to make a visit back to Sanibel. Beautiful place for sure. Hugs Debbie. Have a great week.

I adore shells too and yours are so pretty. So glad you had a great vacation.
ReplyDeleteLoved reading your Sanibel post. If I close my eyes I can almost feel it.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful treasure from the sea! I go a little over the top with shells here too...I've made my bathroom the beach room and it's filled with all things Beachy. Even beach towels instead of bath towels. It is rare I actually get to go to the beach, so I make do with what I have. So glad you got to get away from winter for a little while. Spring cannot come too soon !
