Lovely place to visit, selling on our beaches has been fashionable for years, now we cannot get to the beaches yet, so loved seeing your photography today.

Quaint little shops to get lost in, yes sometimes advertising pays no matter where you place it. Linen shops sound interesting on the other side of town.

Thanks for the day on the town!

Thank you for dropping by and leaving your words! Most beaches in the US don't have too many vendors strolling up and down them selling, even the big tourist places. There are a few, but, I want to say you would need a permit for it. Not sure though. Everything needs a permit.

Off subject, but, on permits... In one of our States, you need a permit to panhandle. They give you a neon vest so you don't get hit by a car and you are allowed to stand at traffic signals. They are commonly referred to as begging permits. Seriously. That is just ludicrous. I wonder if they take tax out on the money or if you have to claim it and that is why you get a permit? Anyway...

We are still technically on lockdown. We are in phase one, although nothing but the same food stores are open. People can walk about a little and must still wear masks and keep socially distant, so nothing much has changed. The beaches are not open here, but, are in most places. We are slow to roll as there are too many people to just throw caution to the wind.

Thank you for stopping by! You are always such a breath of fresh air!

Many years ago most of our sellers were ladies doing beading, crocheting doilies for tables and hand made goods. Now they sell everything imported for cheap stores, very few of the older ladies still do traditional sales.

Some amazing artists arrive at the beach with very colourful art which is a pleasure to see.

Our poor fishermen thought they were allowed to go to the beach with our Sardine run happening right now, to be told to go home fishing, netting is still banned, I am totally at a loss for words on the matter of this virus.

Have a wonderful weekend Denise, life carries on even under lock down!
