A Little Break From the Cold

Hubby and I headed south to visit family in Florida.  Sunny and temps in the 80's was a welcome change from the snow, cold, and ice we were experiencing here in Ohio.

Most of our time was spent inland working on my In-law's house, but we did squeeze in one day at the beach.  We stayed in Casey Key which is about an hour north of Ft.Myers.
These colorful bungalows looked as though they had just been built or remodeled and we were able to stay in one of the beachfront rooms on the back side that faced the ocean.

It was awesome to wake up to a view of the beach!

Back to reality...although thankfully this week Ohio is seeing a few days of 50 degree weather.  :)
I also got to sew some fun items for another baby shower, and will share them in a few days.

Back From the Beach

We took off and headed to sunny Florida for a couple of weeks.  We spent part of the time at my In-laws' near Lake Okeechobee, then ventured over to the gulf coast. 

We settled in on Marco Island and enjoyed perfect weather. The beaches are lovely and great for shell hunting (no live shelling, btw).

The sunsets were gorgeous...our i-phone photos don't do them justice.

 

We did go to a fairly large antique show in West Palm before we left, but not an inch of vintage quilt or upholstery fabric was found!  Lots of pretty embroidered linens, but no fabric yardage. :(

I didn't come home completely empty-handed, though. I did find a cute little apron and a funky vintage kitchen towel.  They are taking a bath right now, so I'll have to add their picture to the next post.

(sigh)  Its a very frosty morning in Ohio...back to reality.  lol
