Time to get The Swimming Shorts, Smiles, and Splashing Out---It's the Last Days of Summer

These are the moments that will hold us through the long winter......goodbye summer, you're welcome back anytime, you were a pleasant guest.

Two Rocks and A Line

This is an additional post from Mike's and my trip to Duluth the other weekend. I clicked away at here and there, he kept walking and then I'd have to play catch-up, but come on are some of these pics worth having to run after your husband yelling, "Wait-up!"? I found 4 pieces of lake glass without even trying; my eyes saw their glimmer in the sun as I walked along the board walk (I am now that good, and a true lake glass picker-upper professional). I think I'll be like fly-fishermen, never to reveal my best beach glass fishing holes, and to offer up a different somewhat believable location if anyone asks.

yup

If I hadn't bragged to you about how much lake glass I had found the other weekend then I guess you should call more often. Anywho, I found a bunch and have been pondering what to do with it all. Rather than become the hoarder that some of you already think I am when it comes to lake glass, driftwood and stones, I came up with a crafty solution.

Check out my new pieces under the title of "yup". The idea is beng an Upper Peninusla Yuppie. What it translates to is funny sayings and using up vintage materials, oh, and shopping more at thrift stores.
