My goal Sunday was to search the big antique show up at St. Joe, Mi for treasures to use in jewelry designs. Nothing like shopping on the bluff with the breeze from Lake Michigan gently blowing in your face. I didn't get much, but did find 4 pieces I think will make sweet vintage necklaces. It was just a perfect day, the breeze felt great, the sky was that perfect color of blue and oh, it was warm and the sun was shining! Something we haven't had in this neck of the woods for a long time.
I was hungry by then and stopped for a sub at Jimmy John's (my first and last for sure) and then headed to the beach.
I walked the shoreline, gathered small pieces of driftwood, took lots of pictures and sorted through issues in my head as the waves lapped upon the beach. The water was oh so cold, but I found it refreshing. Nothing like time spent at the beach to wash away the cob webs in your mind and fill you full of inspiration.
Now I'm ready for the challenges of the week ahead!
“I
am forever walking upon these shores,
Betwixt the sand and the foam,
The high tide will erase my food prints,
And the wind will blow away the foam,
But the sea and the shore will remain forever”
Betwixt the sand and the foam,
The high tide will erase my food prints,
And the wind will blow away the foam,
But the sea and the shore will remain forever”
