Cape Keepsakes





A vacation's not a vacation without a souvenir -- or two or three.  And this is my Cape May trifecta:  

- Postcard of Congress Hall (framed once I got home)

- Handmade blue ribbon brooch from the artisan paradise that is West End Garage

- Lemon lotion from Beach Plum Farm      

Every time I look at them, I'll think of shopping and shellfish.

Oh, its so hard to find post cards anywhere these days. A friend was telling me how she had got connected to a post card site (like a pen pal kind of thing around the world..but you had to send post cards and she had to go to Amazon just to get postcards..crazy). Such delightful treasures from your trip! 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋Thanks for your comments! I have been having fun with Boone and Phil...hopefully, I'm not neglecting Alfie and Gage..=) I am trying to be more active in making my Barbie clothes. I have made Ken some joggers from an old cloth mask I had. And they turned out much better than I expected.

So love the lotion. Such a great idea for the postcard! I hope you are having some great times this May and getting lots of crafting done too!🍋💗💖🍋💗💖🍋💗💖🍋 Thanks for your comments! Oh, Caitlin! Yes, I still had to find her fire. It is interesting on Pinterest how some love to photoshop some actors and well..when I saw this..of a certain someone..I just had to run with it.

Adoring your souvenirs! I love this idea about framing postcards! Oh, this might be the start of some great weekend trips ahead, or finding more creative adventures at home too. I hope you are having a beautiful May! The summer reading program is coming soon...which also means a lot of staff goes on vacation too..but I doubt I go anywhere. However, I just might make a Barbie Doll Room yet. Of course, it might be out of a shoebox. Meanwhile, I still have a few BeachHouse stories in me..and hopefully, I will get back to Zoe & Kye too! Thanks so much for being here 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋💗💗💗💗💗🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
