A Quaint, Charming, and Gorgeous Seaside Town and Some Vintage Finds...

 This is the little village like coastal town of Seaside Florida. By the way....I did find some vintage finds on the way to getting here...and I'll show you my "junkin' finds" coming right up at the end of the post....but first let's tour this place....

We (me, hubby and youngest son) visited here last Saturday... it's  about a 45 minutes drive from where we live. It felt so nice to be outside, it was 78 degrees... the ride was beautiful. 

We are not native Floridians (we've lived here about 16 years)  so we're still exploring this wonderful state and all it has to offer.  

We've been enjoying the outdoors a lot lately and I wanted to share it with you all here at my blog. In our part of Florida, we really have to make the most of getting outside in the pre-spring and early spring season, when the weather is still enjoyable for walking, because in our neck of the woods, it does not usually know how to ease into spring...it just turns to summer and fast.

Before we know it, it will be scorching hot and very humid...well, then we'll have to stay near some air conditioning or water :)  That's just the way it goes.... Oh and we'll have one more cold spell right before Easter just as a reminder that winter will return in due time.  Well, I've talked enough now...on with the tour...

Most of this area here were art galleries and shops, with places to live above the stores I believe....

This was a residence and there was a sign that said so on the fence....I guess there had been one too many tourists try to come in their home...lol! There was a beautiful front porch on this yellow cottage but people were outside on it, and the door was open too and I could see the people inside also and so I didn't take a photo to respect their privacy...but isn't their yard darling?!

I just love the picket fence and the little walkway.

There are beach cottages all back behind this area of the town...and across the street is the ocean...and places to eat and sit for a while and take in the sights and sounds....

This above with the red doors is the towns post office.....

Old Airstream travel trailers line the street with food and drinks for sale....

Ocean views are just beyond this...

This was my last picture of the day, this was the scene directly in front of where we had parked the car....I was delighted to get back to our car to see this!  The old bike is so precious and so is the lady here that it belonged too. I spoke with her for a moment, commented on her bike and I'm so glad she gave me permission to take her picture with it....I can just imagine the charmed life she must live here at this place....bikes are everywhere...I think she really made hers her own...don't you?

To top off an already sweet day...I even found some vintage finds....I came home with these little treasures...cobalt blue salt and pepper shakers (that I'm using) and this jar for me to house my salts in the bathroom, beside the tub.

 These were found at a roadside sale, on our way down to Seaside....I never pass up one of those roadside sales.... How about you?!   I was happy to find some treasures to remind me of this beautiful day :)  

I am linking up with Linda's  Junkin' Friday Party, be sure to visit her HERE and see the other Junkin' Friday posts!  Thanks Linda, for being such a great host!

I hope you all enjoyed the tour of Seaside....it's so much fun for me to share it with you. I always enjoy visiting blog posts that take me someplace ....seeing what people come home with is so interesting too.   I hope you've  enjoyed seeing things through my eyes today....
Big hugs,
