This was the view I had out of the window where I stayed for the past week! I went with a friend to Myrtle Beach, SC. She had a week to use of her timeshare, and she invited me to go spend it with her at the beach, quilting all week!!! We had a wonderful time!
I have lots of pictures and a whole week to blog about! So, tonight's post will show the area we were in. It was very chilly and windy most of the week, and we had a little bit of rain. But that didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves!
This is the beach during one of our walks. Lots of sea gulls, and lots of shells to be collected. We were chilly, wearing jackets and sweatshirts, and we only walked on the beach two of the days we were there.
And this is where we were staying -
We spent most of one day shopping - and mostly in quilt shops! But we did walk around some quaint little area shops, and the camelias were blooming. Beautiful ones! Some looked different than the ones I have been familiar with in Mississippi and in other parts of South Carolina.
Here is Sheila displaying one of them -
I celebrated a birthday while I was there! Jim sent me flowers!
And the timeshare office sent me balloons with candy attached!
Why did they send balloons???? Because we woke up the morning of my birthday to water in the carpet near where the bathroom and washer and dryer all were. It kept getting worse, so they moved us to a different condo - one floor below. It took all morning between them investigating the water source and then moving us, and then getting settled into the new place with all of our sewing machines and quilting supplies as well as our clothes and kitchen stuff! As it turned out, the leaky pipe was from a condo two floors above us! Not sure it was smart to move us one floor down, but we didn't have any problems. I guess they were able to fix the leak, and they were glad we were there to have found it!
For those of you who remember my kitchen water damage and the resultant remodeling . . . . I think that water damage follows me everywhere!
So, we shopped a little, and we walked some, and we ate some yummy food, and we found some wonderful quilting shops AND some wonderful yarn shops! But most of the time we sewed!
Next time - Quilting at the beach!

Thank you for posting these great beach shots. It's like a mini vacation just looking at them!! Glad you had a great time...
I never tire of being at the beach ~ so restful ~
Love the camellias...miss them....want to see some for myself....must plan a trip South soon! What a neat place to spend your birthday! Looking forward to the rest of the story....
Sounds like a dream week! Looking forward to seeing the sewing pictures.
We head down to Virginia this week-end for a nephews wedding then followed by our sisters sewing retreat for the following week. This week I'm busy getting all my goodies and projects packed and ready.
How fun! It does sound like an amazing week- even with the unfortunate water leak (glad they were able to move you to a better room)
I think being the ocean person I am, that I would have worn long underwear or whatever to walk on the beach anytime I could. I did that in WA state when we were there. Literally took a lawn chair and sat in the cold on the beach just to listen to the waves and meditate I guess. How an ocean/mountain lover like me ended up in the mid-west I'll never know. :)
lol- maybe water damage DOES follow you everywhere! ;D
I love the beach photos. How wonderful! Sounds like a great time.
