I have so many craft shells and beach themed supplies I decided it was time for them to have their own shop!
A smattering of what you'll find:
After a long hiatus from eBay and an even longer hiatus from selling seashells, I've decided to return to my roots. eBay is where I began in the online world nearly 7 years ago and I decided that with all the seashells I have, I should get back into selling them there.
I am not gunning for "powerseller" or competing with any other shell sellers, just selling off the thousands of shells I own. I'll be listing new auctions every week (a few days a week as time permits) starting at $.99
If you've ever wanted to add a little beachy chic to your home at a reasonable price, I welcome you to come check out my listings!
Here's a peek at what I listed tonight
I DO NOT use stock photos for my auctions, I have taken every photo myself, so what you see is what you get! (The craft shells are a "stock" photo but it is taken by me, of my current inventory; not something swiped from another online vendor- that drives me nuts!)
Happy Bidding!
This morning I came across this wonderful blog called Tales from an OC Cottage. Now THIS is a gal after my own heart! Seashells galore- seashells on, in and around everything! And to take it up a notch, this first class crafter has added some bling to some of her crafts with glitter!
I LOVE these starfish
And if you're into pink, how about this totally glittery posh pink seashell wreath?!
But I think I am most intrigued by this box of treasures.
I just love how she has them nestled in small paper cups like chocolates or cookies- 
I'd take these over a caramel creme any day!
To enter her giveaway, visit her blog- specifically this post and leave her a comment telling her all about your seashell envy. Do it soon, because the deadline to enter is tomorrow (Saturday) at 11:59pm!
In my recent bloggy travels I met I uber talented artist Jessica Byrnes. 
She is a painter as well as a fantastically talented mosaic artist. She opened and ran a mosaic studio and gallery in South Africa before moving back to the states. These are some images of the gallery that Jessica graciously shared with me
And these bathrooms she created- I SWOON.
As I write this, she is loading up a Uhaul at her Florida home and moving to Colorado to live off the grid in an earthship she is building- what an amazing life!
Jessica- I don't know if you'll have time to read this before you leave, but safe journeys, my new friend!
I mentioned in a previous post that I found a table in the clearance section of the store marked down from $100 to $36 because there was some red paint on it
and also some damage around one of the knobs.
I used a little wood filler to fix the crushed area around the knob
Gave a light sanding to knock down the shine of the green paint and also to smooth out the wood filler
Then I dry brushed a layer of "Beach White" by Behr. This is leftover paint from my kitchen cabinets and trim work in the living and dining areas.
After letting the paint dry for 24 hours, I came at it with some sand paper to allow some of the green to peek through from beneath the white and I used Weldbond glue to adhere some little pecten shells to the knobs.
Here's the finished table in my living room
And this is what happens when I start playing around with pretty stuff
