Hand painted beach necklaces

A look at what I worked on today,
a little beach scene

Then I used my one inch hole punch and popped a couple out.

Then decided they would look good in a silver pendant tray, secured with a sealer and glass dome.

Wa La, super cute! A great way to spend a Saturday! And what did you do today?

If your new to my blog, thanks for stopping in. After dinner at my house I grab a couple kids and head down the street to our Lighthouse. We live on the bay side of the New Jersey coast, a hop skip and jump to Cape May.

It has been up in the 90's the past few days here.

Two nights ago on our after dinner trip the tide was so high the water was splashing over the bulk head.

It was hard for the girls to resist and I had no plan on stopping them, you should have heard the squeals of delight!

It was hard to tear them away, but after 20 minutes the tide was getting higher and it was time to go.

These are last nights pictures, again the tide was high so we didn't find any sea glass, notice how calm the water is.

Any outfit goes, I don't argue with what they wear on our short travels. Rarely do we run into any other people. We believe this is "our" beach.

Tomorrow is another day, we got home way to late tonight from a BBQ to hunt for Sea Glass today.

With summer in full swing my esty shop has been neglected this past week. I'm hoping next week will be much more productive, wish me luck :)

Floating Docks

Lots of activity

down at the dock today.

My husband

operates a party boat out of Sea Isle City. Days are spent

fishing, and the nights are chartered for night cruises. The season is from Memorial Day to mid November, this week has been hectic getting everything ready. A new dock was made today and our kids got a good look at just how it was done.

This is the new bar area inside the cabin, for the night trips ladies are not aloud to were heels, that would be a disaster waiting to happen, so we make sure to tell them before the boat leaves the dock.

A couple of lifeboats and a couple life preservers.

We have had a few guys jump over after they have had a drink to many, that is never a good idea. Waiting for them at the dock will be a police car and then their buddies can bail him out of jail.

The Starfish boat is docked right next door to

the Lobster Loft Restaurant, good food and more

good times!

The brand new floating docks!

The crane used to position and make

the docks and pilings.

By next week this parking lot will be cleaned up and filled

bumper to bumper.

Fishing trips are 8am-noon

then

1pm-5pm

The cruises leave at 7pm and depending on the trip could return at 3am.

Fun Times!

Another view of the crane on top of the work

boat in the middle of the crick, a really neat thing

to see!

Thanks for reading, I'm working on hand painting more seashells :)

Don't forget to feed the fish and follow!

The Blizzard of 2010 has me dreaming of summer. We were without power for 15 hours yesterday and it was far from fun. I do not wish to do it again anytime soon. This week we are going to buy a generator, at least we'll have lights next time. At least we had batteries for the flashlights. This storm took my favorite tree in our yard, it was a big Ever Green, the weight of all the snow was just to much for the top and it fell over. I'm going to miss that tree.


Don't forget to feed the fish, and follow :)

January 10,2010

These pictures were taken on the deserted Wildwood Crest beach in New Jersey. It's a longer walk to the ocean here and on this day the wind was really blowing. In the summer months this beach is packed with people, it is one of the few remaining free beaches. Others in South Jersey require beach tags from Memorial Day to Labor Day. September is the best beach month for the locals, the water is warm and the beaches are empty.
