Unfortunately,I didn't take any pictures during our trip. Camera battery died/too lazy. But, thanks to the internet, here a few shots for your viewing pleasure.
Cape Cod Cottages, Walport, Oregon
My family was nice enough to indulge me by stopping at several antique stores/malls we happened to find. Unfortunately the getting wasn't great. I only managed to find a few items. Actually, it was a blessing as once again, I'm extremely low on funds. Here's the loot.
lampshade frame, rhinestone bracelet, lace and pair of rhinestone earrings
My hubby did get one sneak attack picture before my battery died. This is my darling daughter and in the background, just above the hood on her jacket, you can just barely catch a glimpse of my adorable son. This picture was taken on our hike around Cape Perpetua.

I need to get over to Monticello soon to clean up my space. The good news is that I have sold a few items that had been there awhile. Now I have room to bring in more stuff. Hopefully if I get my act together I can head over tomorrow with a few things. Maybe hit a few sales/thrift stores along the way? The weather is suppose to be improving a bit. I hope so.
Thanks to all of you who left comments on my last post about my collections. It's fun to know so many of you share many of the same collections as me. I also want to note that Mitzi is right. I did neglect to mention my most favorite collection of all. My wonderfully fabulous friends and family. All the rhinestone brooches in the world could not replace how much they mean to me. I hope you all have truly amazing weekend.

The Oregon Coast is my favorite place in the whole world! Growing up we camped all along the coast, they have really great state parks. I even honeymooned on the coast, the marriage didn't last, but I am still in love with the coast! Thanks for sharing the beautiful pics, your daughter is darling. Blessings, Victoria Lynn
What a beautiful place to visit --- I adore the Oregon coast! Boise and the Oregon Coast are quite far apart! That was quite a little road trip! LOL!
I'm glad you had a wonderful time!

Looks like fun!
JOY!
All so pretty. Wish I was there.
LOL!!! Thankin Al Gore for the internet :-)
Your trip sounded lovely and I adore your purchases.
You certainly did an about face from Boise to the coast...am sure it was nice to get away for spring break (in spite of the less than warm/sunny weather)
Last summer my husband, the kids and I rented a little house on the Oregon Coast. Every morning we would wake up to The Big Blue. It was a welcomed change during all of the Northern California wild fires. We went from Gold Beach up to Coos Bay So lovely and the beaches were clean. Thank you for the pictures.

It looks beautiful! I love the sound of that vintage looking cottage. I have never been there, it certainly looks beautiful!
Have a great weekend

Oregon coasting is often rainy, but those seasons are some of the best times to visit. Less people. Not that it's ever overly crowded (thankfully), but if you like more peace and quiet as we do, those times can't be beat for a visit.
Our usual haunts are Tillamook and Cannon Beach.
I'm glad you had a good time, regardless of the weather.
