Our Maine getaway



We spent a few days last week in Ocean Park, Maine.  It should actually be called Heaven because that's what it feels like!

The following shots were taken along a coastal walk called "The marginal way" in Ogunquit, Maine.  We set out just before lunch and stopped part way and ate our lunch.  Our daughter Rebekah had never done this walk before.  Wendell and I do it in the Fall when we come for our anniversary.  She loved it and was taking photos all the time!







We also had our share of retail therapy at the outlets.  As we have all lost over 30lbs each recently, we were in desperate need of new clothes. It's always good to have an excuse to shop!

We really had a lovely break and can't wait for mid August when we go back again for 2 1/2 weeks!

I started my quilting class last week and it's going to be fun.  I have done my homework and am ready for Wednesday's class.  Here is the fabric which the quilt will be made up from.


This is one for us to keep, so I'm anxious to see how it turns out.  Will keep you posted.

  1. HI Julie, thanks for the lovely comments on my blog too! You could be right maybe we are kindred spirits! I love your pictures of Maine.The coastal pictures are so like parts of England arent they? But then again thats probably the main reason that New England is so called!! Definitely recommend Lavender cottage for you, I love Emma bridgewater too and we do have some in our home.Let me know if you do come over and maybe we can drive over there to meet up?!XX

    1. Welcome Jill! Isn't it great to find new blogs via someone else who has similar taste? You live in a beautiful part of the country. We stayed in a little cottage near Robin Hood's bay when we were last in England and we fell in love with the Yorkshire dales. I look forward to perusing your blog.
