Bicycle with tulle...{12/365}

    This photo was taken this morning at one of my favorite little stores in Solana Beach, California, called "Out of the Blue." It's a 1920's beach cottage that is filled with the most amazing goodies -- everything from sea shells and vintage clothing to hand painted signs made from fence wood and beautiful old jewelry. I could spend hours in this store!

    This bicycle, adorned with tulle and a wire basket filled with little succulents, is positioned at the entrance to the store.

    For anyone who's interested, here is a link to the store's Web site:

      This has got to be one of my favorite images ever! I wish I could fave it a thousand times! I love Solana Beach. I haven't been there for forever, but I remember this fantastic shop! Such an amazing image -- I truly wish I could frame this and put it up on my wall. (My house is done in these colors.)
