I have been a busy girl ☺
While 'organizing' my Treasure Piles
I came across ALL the shells I have collected over the last few years...
bags and bags of shells for which I had several ideas for.
I finally sat down...or stood up
and had some of my ideas come to fruition.
Some Beachy Shell Balls...
big and little
...can't waste broken shells, sooo
I wrote little sayings/inspirations on them
and nestled the shells in a moss lined basket.
and last, but not least...
my fav
a Mermaid pail brimming with shells
and topped with 3 star candles.
I love the way it turned out.
and especially love the
Sweet Mermaid label.
These are available in my eBay Store
and/or my Etsy Shop .

Hi Deb ! LOVE what you have done with seashells.
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving me the sweet award but I will have to pass for now... my computer is just NOT reliable enough. It will cut me off in a snap. It's frustrating to get in the middle of something and then lose it !!! Going to add your blog to my list though .... WOOOOOOOT for Georgia girls !!!

Love all your shell crafts. They look great!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award!
Oh, Deb, those sea shells! Did you collect those yourself?? I just love your seashell art--I brought ton of shells back from Sanibel Island 3 years ago, and never knew what to do with them other than to display them in jars and bowls. Thank you so much for the blog award! Will put that up soon on my blog too.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the honor, Deb! Love the shells.

Hi Deb - you must think me awfully rude not to have contacted you to thank you SO MUCH for this brilliant award... your comment was in my Spam folder (don't ask me how - the computer crashed the other week, and has been very rocky since). So I do sincerely apologise, and thank you very very much.
ReplyDeleteI'm really thrilled - and touched - that you would think of me.
Big hugs from the UK!
