This started out as a vintage cheese tray.

My shell bottles from Isa @ “Greyfreth”
I like them here but…
they look nice here too! See this post here.
Her attention to detail is amazing
I love how she used both sides of her shells
This is seashell mirror #2 for me (Mantel make-over is here)
It took a while to finish – see my ‘how to’ here
I use this large conch shell in one cloche on the mantel
I use a large piece of white coral in the other cloche
Seashells fill this vintage bucket and shows
up in various rooms around the house
Another favorite seashell display sits on the dining room table
I love pears and I love seashells
I love seashell pears
While I splurged on this nautical shell at a ‘tourist shell shop’ in Florida-
I found this one for a couple of dollars at a local flea market
Another project- seashell cloche how to here
Find my beach box project here
I filled mine with shells, of course!

I would love to claim these next wonderful seashell creations
BUT, sadly I cannot.
I found them at Michelle’s Beach House in Orange Beach.
I am crazy about the oyster shells
trailing down the side of the white urn
This sends my heart aflutter!!!
See lots more beachy eye candy from that post right here.

It was fun writing this summery seashell post. Light snow is falling ever so softly outside my window and I am warm and cozy inside my favorite place…Blue Creek Home.

This was the shop that was closed last summer by the time husband and I got to The Wharf for dinner but my sister and I are going to Orange Beach in April and it is definately on my list for THE place to be sure to visit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these pics!

Rhonda, what a great roundup! I love it all!! The idea of displaying a single sea treasure under a cloche is wonderful. And the bottles, the mirrors..., and that store..., I'll go re-visit those posts. Thanks so much for sharing this and mentioning the Linkup!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda, long time no see, but I sure did enjoy seeing all your lovely shells and the way you've displayed them. I've been on the lookout for some cloches, but have yet to find on that would hold anything much larger than a clam. Your conch looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHappy Beachy 2011!
Oh, these photos make my heart SING! You are surrounded by beauty! ♥
ReplyDeleteMay your New Year be filled with many Blessings and abundances of Joy for 2011. From my mountain to yours, Until next year

Rhonda,
ReplyDeleteI think your post about receiving the altered shell bottles from Greyfreth was the first Blue Creek Home post I ever read. I knew at that moment, I had found a fellow sea shell collector and we would be friends! All of these images are beautiful and inspiring. You and your sister are so incredibly talented. I have another Ferrero Rocher bell to use as a cloche!
Your Friend,
Deborah
Your seashells in the cloches are beautiful...love to see the whole mantel.

ReplyDeleteI am so happy I saw this post! I loooove those mirrors AND all of your other shells. How have I missed you???
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda! Was blog hopping this morning and happened upon your marvelous blog. My heart is aflutter too...these are all so gorgeous.
