I'm loving my faux fireplace, and have it ready for summer, even though this past 7 days have been plagued with cold weather and rain. I guess I'm hoping my positive thinking will help. I have a few photos of DH and I on different trips, in different kinds of frames, and some battery operated candles from Nell Hills. They are awesome. They have 2 settings. One is on, one is one for fours and automatically shuts off-then will turn on every day at the same time and run for 4 hours ----Oh! I guess 3 settings OFF! HA!
The center of attention is my 20x26 canvas print photo of the ocean, that I took when we were in Puerto Vallarta, in February. I can stand in front of it for hours, and almost hear the ocean.
A picture frame found at a garage sale that someone put fabric in, instead of a photo.
Shells from our different beach travels through the years, and a dollar store plate, shaped like a fish.
