Storage Shelves (No Ikea!)
View allAll Photos Tagged SHELVES...
Another look at my favorite little ghost town and what used to be the "General Store". The shelves may indeed be empty, but I'm sure there are many memories within...and maybe a few ghosts....
Not the only isle, or the only store! Interestingly, the stores are spreading out what stock they have on shelves to fill in the space so it does not look as dire. We all know the story about the ga$ price$!
Welcome to the Divided States of America
As ice breaks away and new layers are formed over the water, ice is pushed up to the shore line producing ice shelves
Colder temperatures and strong winds have made a significant impact along the western shore of Lake Michigan. These ice shelves are here to stay for a while.

Very large.
Llandanwg Beach sits between the towns of Barmouth and Harlech on the southern side of Tremadog Bay. It is also part of the wider Snowdonia National Park and situated close to the pretty Afon Dwyryd estuary.
The sand dunes to the back of the beach conceal the tiny church of Saint Tanwg which dates from the 13th century. A small path winds through the dunes and leads you to the beach from the central car park area or you can take a trail from Cardigan Bay. As you sit on the pristine sands you will also be able to enjoy vistas of the rugged Rhinog Mountains in the distance.
The beach here shelves gently into the sea making this a good place to swim, although there is no lifeguard so care should be taken. When the tide is low, it reveals a causeway out to pretty Mochras which is also known by its local nickname of Shell Island due to the plethora of different hued shells found on the its beach.
Due to its strategic position, Llandanwg Beach is shielded from the well known Welsh winds which can be a little fresh at times meaning that you can enjoy this area even in the off-season. The beach is also well-loved by locals including fisherman who come here for the plentiful supplies of bass, mackerel, flatfish, and dogfish. With that in mind keen anglers will find plenty to do here, or you can explore dainty rock pools or simply go for a stroll on the soft, pristine sand.
Amenities at Traeth Llandanwg include disabled access and the village is also home to the quaint Y Maes Cafe close to the beach which operates from June to October.
Jerry is almost finished with shelves that display some of my favorite toys. The wood for the facing and drawer fronts came from a cherry tree we had milled in our front yard. The sides of the drawers, yellow popular, are from a tree that grew on Albany Rd. also milled in our front yard. The bottoms of the drawers are made of cedar from a farm tree in Corydon, Ind.
A few days ago I ventured over to Deland Park to see what ice shelves had developed along Lake Michigan's western shore. There have been more productive growths in the past, but I found these interesting.

Awesome morning at Lake Michigan. Arrived about 5:30 a.m. still pitch black, finished a cup of coffee and slid on a pair of rubber boot spikes waiting for the first sign of light. Fifteen minutes later I grabbed my kit and tripod and headed down to the lake. The lake seems much lower than the last few years and the ice shelves smaller. This was the first shot of the morning. To get the full sky I had to include the steel water breaker. I have a few more different compositions to look over and possibly post. Love my Sony a7r but hate how fast the batteries drain, especially in the cold. I even had the spare battery in my pocket with the hand warmer but both died quickly.
Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, Purple Sea Urchin. Top shelf at upper left was out of water and the next two (descending to lower right) were in a tidepool along with at least two kinds of coralline algae at a near zero tide.

Shaun Says "These Shelves are For Books"
I say "Adorable Nonsense improves all Shelves"
Hahah That might be a LOT of Nonsense.
Along the rivers edge you better be paying attention where you walk. Ice shelves can jut out 10 feet or more over the rivers surface creating a "false edge." Recent ice jams had raised the river levels. Frigid temps then froze it solid. As the river level dropped again, the ice stayed in place. Makes walking around down there exciting! LOL!
Hubby surprised me by putting up more shelves in my playroom while I was asleep. He put all this stuff up because it was on the floor and I have a sore knee and back. None of it is where I want it but I'm still happy! Lol.
These big-time library shelves roll with the touch (push) of a hand-crank and allow storage of more books per foot!
These pumpkins were for sale at a local pumpkin patch just in time for Halloween carving. I liked the symmetry and mix of orange and green.

My dolly shelves. If you look closely, you will be able to see some of my dolly obsessions! Certain clothing designers have a way of multiplying in my household.
Middle shelf are all customs by scoladolls and bottom left 6 dolls are by chantilly lace. :0)
You will also see multiple outfits by minnalove<3 and plasticfashion<3, and multiple hats by eurotrash<3 and littleditzies<3
I have 3 big shelves, and 1 more in a thrift store hasnt buy yet( no room for it). I love colorful pine or oak shelves, fill them with books, trinkets, fabrics.
Please do not be fooled into thinking I 'staged' the bookcase for this shot, I did not. It is always a mess and books just pile up. (Okay, I admit to some slight staging)
I should honestly make the time to go through the shelves, donate some books and make some room for new books... but let's be honest I probably won't. I'll just keep adding to the shelves and hope they don't collapse upon themselves...
Hope everyone has had a good day.
