A Walk On The Beach.

It was low tide 7:30 Sunday morning.
My sister Annie and I decided to take 
a walk on the beach.

Spring is late this year.
The nights have been cold,  near 0 deg. C.
The flowers are late blossoming. 

It was a sunny day 15 deg. C.
Here are some pics on our adventure.



This beach is near where I live.
I have a lot of childhood memories here.
These posts were planted yrs ago to stop 
the water from damaging the land.




Day's Brook
My childhood playground.

Erosion is eating away at the cliffs.
The effects of climate change,
the oceans are rising,
causing erosion.
We are losing ground.

Some things we spotted below.
A beach brick, markings, Chapman, Made in Canada.
A lot of dead crabs on the beach this morning-they get washed in the the tides,  beached.
My sister Ann, found a piece of blue seaglass, 
Also a clam shell.
There's not a lot of garage on the beach here.
In last yrs. a lot of crocs are showing up.
I think I'll start collecting them.
(Don't tell my kids, they'll have me committed.)... LOL

Thrift Store Finds.

I am sharing some treasures
I've found over the Winter.

 I'm having a tea in this pretty
Paragon china tea cup.

It's maple syrup time here in Quebec.
I'm have Pouding-Chômeur or
Poor Man's Pudding.
A French Canadian pudding.
I will share the recipe later.


 This crochet pansy doily is so pretty.
The silver spoon below,
 has a edge on the tip.
I wonder what it would be used for.
Maybe grapefruit?


Another pretty doily.
A lot of time and skill go into
these beautiful pieces.
and they end up at Thrift Shops.


Blue vase with a bird.

The vase is about 1 ft. high and has this marking under.

This Asian pot below, looks like a tea pot with no handle.
It's must be a hanging plant pot.

 Holes in four corners.
Thanks to Bernideen Canfield, at Bernideens Tea Time Blog, 
her visit and comment below, I've learned that, 
It's possible there were rattan handles in the holes,
and it served as a teapot.
(Why didn't I think of that)


 Candle holders


Happy Spring!
