Collections speak of who we are
what we love and truly
what draws us in...
The framed human skeletons
from a very old library book
were among the quirky
I added to my collected...
The sea shells and small corals
are placed in glass cylinders
among my loved
books & various baskets...
I never tire of mixing
coral and natural elements
all in the same vignette...
For a simple change
I will bring in one of my old wood
ladders and add tree branches
and gourds that I have painted white...
Great way to mix fall items
into your summer decor...
A touch of sea grass
always suites my taste...
I will be linking this week to
the lovely Kathleen's White Wednesday # 152
the beautiful Joy and Thriftin-on-Thursday # 20
the amazing Debra and Vintage Inspiration # 88
Thank you to each of you who
left such wonderful comments
on my Look for Less post...
Wishing each of you a
very blessed week!
XOXO

Hi Kate ~ Your vignettes with the shells and tree branches look awesome. I bought one of my first seashells at a garage sale after seeing yours on your post. You inspired me. I have two now and both are in my bathroom right now.

ReplyDeleteLove your collection of whites and the coral is so beautiful. I bought my first piece of white coral recently and really love it. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteKate, what you do is always so beautiful. I come here again and again to be inspired. I absolutely *love* that coral piece! Do you often get pieces like that? I know we talked last summer about coral and that is the kind I would like to get next. I am heading to SD this summer; maybe I can "swing by" Country Roads!
