Nora's Necessities: Polar Bear Vacation. Relaxin' with the Fams.

This Post and Treasury are inspired a polar bear photo. The photo is for sale in Michal's shop, Sweet Woodruffs on Etsy. Michal is a a homeschool mother living in Tampa (but mising Texas) who has been collecting vintage and antiques for 20 years. She handmakes beautiful greeting cards, which"...are altered with rare authentic, antique book pages, fabric remnants and vintage lace trim." (Sweet Woodruffs)

She also loves to list her found treasures.
Which brings me back to the subject at hand.

This Polar Bear.

Family Beach Holiday: Vintage 20s Photo $5.25

Michal says, "At the sea with a polar bear... I love this photograph. I googled images and found one more photo with another group of people with this same polar bear." (Sweet Woodruffs)

I am also a sucker for old photos and mysteries like this.

What was a polar bear doing at the beach? Why a polar bear? Was he the town mascott? Seems kind of strange for a beachside town. A polar bear enthusiast? We can only speculate....and make silly etsy treasuries.
