A Holiday At The Beach

              

Last summer my son and his family had a delightful summer vacation . . . 
                                 We got to join along because they sent us fabulous pictures and mementos.

I took the collection and decorated my mantle.  I added the blue lights to the collection.  You can read about the post here. 
This year I wanted to do something a little different with the mantle so I've displayed part of the collection  here instead . . .

I pulled  the main pieces into a collection to display under the t.v.
I recently put this table here.  I like this arrangement under the t.v. better.  
                            
My DIL is very creative and talented.  The entire beach theme started last year because I wanted a boat made out of a piece of wood.  And so she made me one and then created a few other  things

I like the new collection on the t.v. table. I can see it in the evening while watching t.v.  and remember the sweet gifts from my DIL. 

              Every day can be a holiday
