On the way to Cape May.......

One more glorious weekend  "down the shore"!   How fortunate I am, that the owner of the house I just painted and cleaned, is having new carpets installed and wants me to return next weekend.
Woo-hoo!  
   I'll help arrange new furniture, clean up any messes the contractors left behind, make up the beds, and make sure everything is perfect for the next lucky guest!  This is  what I do, in my business, saving the landlord lots of time, stress and money, making everything sparkle.

 Then I will go to the beach!
In the evening,  I'll visit the shops and  walk around admiring the beautiful homes and gardens!

First,  an awesome project revisited, while I was in the neighborhood last week!

The long sections on this piece seemed perfect
for the Cape May Lighthouse, and a pylon with a seagull!

  I  custom- painted
this  funtastic furniture
 for another Cape May resident
 a few years ago..   
 and am proud  and delighted
 that the owners still enjoy these
 special pieces in their charming home.

 For inspiration,
 the owner gave me
a postcard of
 Cape May beaches,
 a sample of  the main colors
 they wanted me to use,
  but left the  designs
entirely up to me.

This whimsical toybox lives in the playroom,
waiting for future grandchildren to visit.

A nostalgic touch!   The owner's son was a lifeguard as a teen,

so this scene depicting a lifeguard stand and lifeboat

was very meaningful to the family.

I remember completing this furniture,  just in time for their daughter's wedding.

She was married on the beach, and they had a flip-flop theme at the reception! 

The wedding guests had a fantastic time at this lovely seashore home

 for this most- memorable occasion.

But now, I'll just get my things ready,  for another trip "down the shore",

mixing up a little business and pleasure.

  "On the way to Cape May....I fell in love with you!

        On the way to Cape May,... I saw my dreams come true."

I can't stop singing this song!!!!!!
