You will see two of my favorite things here. The first one is a really neat flower pot given to me by my friend Christine. It is one she actually made herself, from Sanibel seashells she collected. If you would like to make one for yourself, she has kindly put all the instruction you need, on her blog. There are also instructions for other neat crafty items, as well. Two of my Grand Daughters are here for the summer and they want to make a flower pot for their Mothers. So, we've been copying the directions and collecting shells. Thanks Chris! :-)


My other favorite thing in the photo is the Lowell Herrero print of Judy & Marge. I love those ladies!

Simple Project

This is a very simple and inexpensive project to use a few of your treasured seashells and some sea glass if you have it available. Hurricane candle holders or something of that type can be found at Wal-Mart or at a craft store for just a few dollars.

Hold the container upside down and either dip it in glue or put glue around the edge of the opening. Then dip it in sand.
Put a little sand inside and on the bottom of your glass container.
Place a candle in the center.
Drop a few seashells and sea glass on the sand.
Tie a ribbon around the top.
You could add some other type of decoration to the outside if you want. Like artificial flowers or glue a seashell on the ribbon.
