SirVive Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I had this idea a while back so when we went to the coast last week I faced my worst fear in life and went ... window shopping antique/decor shops in a tourist town😩 Had to take along my mother-in-law for moral support 😄 Four stores later I finally found a sandpiper I was happy with. Finding the perfect piece of driftwood was an easy matter - only involving a 5 mile walk along the beach with my Love and my binos. Did the woodburning and mounting once we got home and surprised her with it. The phrase is a reference to a story that I read in an old book my parents have. My wife is a childhood leukemia survivor and loves the beach hence the nostalgia. (found a copy of it posted here online if you want to read it https://mygoodtimestories.com/2018/01/08/a-sandpiper-to-bring-you-joy/ )  6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the calendar just for friends and family, or are you going to make it more widely available? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
