the Water Lily BagBag

by greenWinkle

The flower without the pond…or the frogs.

This gorgeous handbag is made entirely from repurposed silver-white shopping bags with tiny green patches. This bag is lovely, sturdy and washer/dryer safe.

Measuring only 9″ high and 12″ wide, this bag is the perfect size for just the necessities: cell phone, keys, wallet, chapstick…or a chinchilla, if you’re so inclined.

Good luck everyone!

A Pirate’s Life

Lyndi's Cruise Pictures (51)

Our experience with pirating is…vast. We know the ship well.

Lyndi's Cruise Pictures (118)

We recognize the skull and crossbones flying.

Lyndi's Cruise Pictures (115)

Yeah, we know real pirates when we see them…

Lyndi's Cruise Pictures (131)

and their motley crew.

Lyndi's Cruise Pictures (123)

Why, we even know well lagoons and crystal water and…

Lyndi's Cruise Pictures (133)

the plank rail…that many unfortunate souls had to climb.

Lyndi's Cruise Pictures (149)

Oh, yes, it was frightening, to be sure, but…

still we jumped into the briny deep—perhaps to meet our doom–or sink to Davey Jones’ Locker…

or to float.

Floating was way better. And being a pirate these days,  is a fabulous thing. In fact, we loved it. So much so that when…

this place–Pirate Island– showed up in our side of the ocean–we were there.

Florida 001

Because we know the ship well.

Florida 005

We recognize the skull and crossbones flying…

the lagoons and crystal water…

and we know real pirates when we see them…

and their ferocious…

motley crew. But something was different this time. Instead of making us walk the plank…

Florida 039

they fed us the perfect pirate food…

Florida 038

well…that…and pizza. In fact, they treated us so well–we never wanted to leave.

Florida 037

Some even had to be carried away, against their will.

Florida 012

Ah, but we’ll be back.

Yo ho!
