Regards, and I wish you all the best of luck in the future!!
I'm opening this shot too, as I can't decide which one I like better!
Take your pick (I sure did . . . got quite a few of them, actually!)
OK....let me explain!
First of all, (excuse me Nick), but I am not a landscape photographer.
Yes, I love sunrises, but truly, I don't think of taking my tripod to such places as captured above. Not to mention I had no intention of climbing over the phenomenal rocks with my very sore leg. So, pardon the idiosyncrasies here, but, you get the picture!
What fascinated me more than the lighthouse(s) (as in two), were the incredible million year old rocks (more to come). *This 67-foot Italianate Cape Elizabeth Light station is one of the loveliest and most distinctive lighthouses in America, located in Two Lights State Park. Can you believe the residence and grounds are privately owned! There is a "twin" light (about 300 yards away) which was not as easily accessible for photographing.
The Lighthouse Service stopped using twin beacons in 1924. Fascinating history here, for all you lighthouse enthusiasts!
*A guidebook and keepsake Lighthouses of Maine by Bruce Roberts & Ray Jones"
"You'd be surprised how many lighthouse people we meet with a handshake
and leave with a hug."

. . . and yes, there is a stranger interview in the works ~ again, stay tuned ~
This was a custom order. The word patches were sent to me and I quilted them on as if I were doing a ticker tape quilt.
This photo shows 2 treasured keepsakes. It used to be a tradition to send a portion of wedding cake to family or friends who were unable to go to the wedding. Cake was sent in tiny boxes, with specially printed gift cards. The photo shows a gift card printed for my parents' wedding (over 70 years ago) with the horseshoe & turtle doves decoration from the cake. G? - obviously, the initial of our surname!
My Snow White and the Hag Doll Set is fully deboxed. Here Snow White is standing alone, supported by a Kaiser doll stand.
Detailed photos of my Snow White and the Hag Doll Set, the first in store release of the 2015 Disney Fairytale Designer Collection. I got it today in my local Disney Store raffle. The set is #2595 of 6000.
Snow White's in box pose is stiff, with her face pointing up too much, and her curly hair messy, especially on the right. She has the 2012 Classic Princess style body, with hard plastic legs, external hinge knee joints, and ball jointed ankles. She has golden yellow flats, matching the color of her skirt. She has a full length velvet cape with satin lining.
The Hag (or Witch) has a unique body and limbs. Similar to the DFDC Beast doll, she has an awkward stance if free standing. In fact, my doll's right leg cannot be straightened completely and her fixed ankles are bent, so her natural standing pose is stooped, making her stand about 10 inches tall. In the box pose, her feet is raised by plastic forms, so if they are removed for deboxing, her feet dangle in the air if she is reboxed. She doesn't have ankle joints, so she cannot point her toes to reach the floor of the display stand.
They did a fabulous job making the Hag an accurate representation of the animated movie character. I also like Snow White's anxious expression, which is appropriate for being next to the evil Hag. I did the best I could to make Snow's hair neater, but it is still messier than I would like. Her curly hair is heavily stiffened with hair product, so it was not easy for me to rearrange her hair using my fingers.

When I first met Hadley, I vociferously let him know that I did not want him buying a dozen red roses and having them delivered. (yeah, I was bouncing off something from marriage one). So he almost never gave me flowers at all to ensure he didn't do wrong.... These were pink roses that he gave me last year as a total surprise. So naturally I hung them up to dry in the garage. Just recently brought them in the house and paired them with the basket. The basket is something we just received from his sister. It had been his mom's. Both items make me happy.

About this photos:
Delilah went to attic to find memories of her grandfather who was an archeologist in Egypt.:-)
Jasmine and Aladdin are now fully deboxed, and are lying side by side on a counter.
Jasmine has been removed from the doll stand, and is placed on a counter to continue the deboxing process. Some small fasteners are removed from her sheer skirt, and her hands are untied, and the flower freed from her hands. Then the flower is replaced on her hand. Her hair is also tidied up a bit by snipping off some stray hairs, and evening the end of her ponytail. Aladdin's hand in her hair messed up the first section of her ponytail, but I decided not to try to fix it up. Notice that there are no markings on her lower back showing her edition number or size, unlike Aladdin. She is now fully deboxed.
Now it's Jasmine's turn to be deboxed. There are wires holding her legs to the doll stand, and tiny plastic tabs pinning her dress to the bottom backing. Her hands are also tied together with rubber bands, as is the flower. Raising her skirt to undo the ties around her legs, we see her golden curvy toed shoes. They are a flat dark gold color, as are her earrings.
Aladdin is laid face down on a counter to continue the deboxing process. The only thing left to do is the remove the wire from around his waist. His shirt is opened in the back to make removing the wire easier. I discover that his belt is a separate piece, fastened in the back with Velcro, and the cape is removable on his left shoulder, but it is sewn to the right shoulder of his shirt. There are manufacturer's markings on his lower back, including his edition number and size (#899 of 6000), which matches his Certificate of Authenticity. After the wire is removed, his shirt and belt are closed up again, but his cape is kept over his head. His cape is then place down, over his back. I remove the plastic tabs fastening his hat to his head, then replace the hat on his head. The hat goes on his head rather loosely, so it is prone to falling off if he isn't in the upright position. He is now fully deboxed.
The plastic spacer is then removed from the backs of the two dolls. The next step is to
free the dolls from the built in doll stands. Aladdin is the first to be removed. There are wires around his legs, securing him to the doll stand and a small spacer. His hands are freed from Jasmines by cutting some rubber bands. I accidentally snipped the tip of one of Jasmine's fingers off. Oops!
The cardboard backing has been cut open to reveal the ends of the various fasteners used to secure the dolls and plastic spacers to the backing. Then the large spacer is freed from the backing, and the backing is laid down flat, revealing the backs of the dolls, who are still attached to the spacer, the doll stands, and the bottom of the backing. Next the backing is cut off from the base of the display stand. The bottom of the backing is still stuck to the base with double stick tape. The backing, with the Certificate of Authenticity attached, is put away inside of the acrylic top of the case, which is then placed in the original shipping carton.
The slipcover has been taken off, to reveal the dolls inside the display case. The dolls can be seen from three sides and the top of the clear acrylic case. The base of the case is gold filigree pattern over black, with a golden nameplate in front. The cardboard backing secures the dolls in their factory poses, and contains the Certificate of Authenticity. Then the acrylic cover is taken off, so the dolls are now in clear view.

These are the two oldest dolls in our collection of family keepsakes, we have no idea how the rag doll on the left lost an arm, but suspect the moves may have had something to do with it.
Hans Christian Andersen really did have a wicked imagination. His stories about evil stepmothers will chill your spine.

This swan actually has a more wonderful story for me. It was given to my aunt May on the occasion of her 50th wedding anniversary.

One of my favourite items from Roy Lewis.
The majority of Keepsake Press publications are fairly sober, text-heavy booklets of poetry but for more personal productions he got out the ornament case and had fun.
This was a recent gift to me from my cousin Elizabeth. She lives in my hometown of Bowling Green, Kentucky, I have always been enamored with the deep rich blue of this bowl, and could not believe it when she gave it to me on my last visit. I suddenly today recalled long ago I had started sharing favorite things. When I found this album, I was delighted. Time to renew it. 11/365
Sentiments of the 1980's like my old PY501 parts. I really want more parts to hang around the house....
This small case holds an ambrotype of a young girl overlaid by an oval cut tintype of a woman and a small lock of auburn hair tied with a white string. It is obviously a home made keepsake assemblage. We will never know why it was made but the first time I held it I flashed on a husband and father who carried it in his pocket while away from his family, perhaps as a soldier. I find it very touching.
