Shell-o

I am showing ya'll the making of a potpouri from this past week for my master suite water closet.  I had bought the shell potpouri from my girlfriend's shoppe (on clearance).  I thought it was gonna go
onto my coffee table in a wooden bowl.

Oceanic Edge. 

this is a huge bag of shells. I could use the big scallop for a dessert plate.

It was double bagged and isn't that twine tie cool?  I'll use that for something. 

Shells galore!  And they smell great.

Then, I was in my fav consignment shop (while Nate was at batting cages for All-Star practice) and they had 25% off and I saw this cool container with a shell on it.  How could I resist it? lol

I moved a few pics from around the house in here.  It is fun to see 2 pieces I have that evoke summer memories be added to the cache of shells. 

This watercolor was purchased from Mother-in-laws artistic neighbor because it reminds me of New England summer homes.  My Aunt brought me a few times when we would travel up to G'mas.

..picked up at a resale shop.  I can't pass up stitch work being thrown out.

I painted the matte board to match my walls and never did the frame.

Hope you have a beach~combing kinda week!  I plan to head to Galveston with my boys soon.  With the oil rigs turned off (sad) and the storms that have come thru we are getting word that a day at the beach might be pleasant.  :-)
