USA Trip: Our treasures so far!

 

When we travel we always are on the search for new (actually old) treasures for the shop. We always come back with tons of suitcases and spend a fortune on overweight luggage but it is lots of fun and we do make part of our vacation back by reselling some stuff, so that justifies it a bit, I guess :)

I never did this on our previous trips but thought it would be fun to show the things we bought and I already photographed and listed in our shops, these are all ready for purchase. I still have pieces to photograph and list.

Happy Holidays!

 To all who celebrate; Merry Christmas!

We are in Daytona beach for a 10 day house sit while enjoying the surroundings, the Christmas decorations, the beaches and the thrift stores :)

Near where we stay is the Twi-light motel where they have extravagant decorations every year, check my video on Instagram to see it even better.

It was quite magical, and as we live in Türkiye we do miss this time as only New Years is celebrated there and by far there is not so many decorations going on for that.

A guy was making these light balls, with closer inspections we saw they are made with plastic glasses and Christmas lights, I might make one for us for home.

Happy Holidays!

USA Trip: Green Cay Wetlands

We have been staying in Delray Beach these past 4 nights, for a house/pet sit through Trusted Housesitters. We always try to do a few sits to safe some money, as hotels for 5 weeks get very expensive. It is also a great way to meet people and sweet pets.

 

We have been mainly thrifting, weather has been warm but rainy not ideal for the beach.

But yesterday we went to Green Cay Wetlands. It was drizzling so not many people and apparently also not many animals but we saw plenty and it was very peaceful.

It is a boardwalk so you walk over water and forests without disrupting anything.

The sounds of the birds was also very peaceful and sometimes funny.

It was a pleasant two hour walk, we were lucky as it started to pour as soon as we got in the car.

It is open from sunrise to sunset and is free.

Two Iguanas were having some spousal issues it seemed :))

If you ever have the chance to visit, I highly recommend it, it was magical.
