Girls weekend

This weekend I went to visit one of my best friends Dominique and we had a great time.  I did not take a ton of pictures, and I didn't bring my professional camera, but I I loved some of my point and shoot pics.

We walked into an antique shop and there was an actual Shirley Temple doll, I can't imagine paying that much money for a doll...but I had to stop and take a picture.

The Antique shop had an amazing variety of antique cameras.  I loved this Brownie camera.  Maybe one day I will pick one up, but it seemed a little frivoulous as I probubly wouldn't take many pictures with the camera.

We were walking around Sandy Hook, New Jersey.  This was a great view of the river across the street from the beach.  

I love the beach, we didn't spend much time there, but I loved digging my feet in the sand.

The water was freezing, but it was just sooo pretty.

I have been pretty bad with posting in the past few weeks, but I am definately going to try to be more attentive to my blog  :  )

Love Always,

Shirley Temple

There are many things about the present generation that make me sad.  To think that the youth today will never spend hours listening to the radio, just to record the perfect songs for a mix tape.  To not know to clap twice after someone says, “Down at Fraggle Rock.”  Or not have nightmares narrated by the voice of the speak-and-spell. Hahahah. But it makes me sad that children today do not know the  Shirley Temple who changed the world during the 1930's.

I spent countless hours as a child mesmerized by her films.  I dreamt of having amazing curly hair and tap-dancing my way through life.

I got this Shirley Temple doll when I was in elementry school, and we spent hours watching Bright Eyes, Little Miss Marker, and Captain January together.

I got this Little Miss Marker Doll a few years later.  These dolls held so much magic for me.

 I think I will take some time this weekend to have an oldie but good marathon.  Breakfast at Tiffanys, My Fair Lady, Jane Eyre, and Shriley Temple will be on the list.  Sounds like a good plan to me  :  )

Love Always,

Meg
