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:

She Sells Seashells!

>> Thursday, July 1, 2010

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!

Before and After- my little living room end table

>> Friday, January 29, 2010


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

Sea Inspired Jewelry Pieces

Sea Inspired Jewelry
Originally uploaded by mornindew2822
Another of my "use what you've got" challenges. I made these without spending one red cent- it amazes me the stuff I collect and then don't use! Can you imagine every single ingredient that went into making these has been sitting in my supply boxes for close to two years now while I was totally uninspired to anything with it!

Necklace and earrings set made using various greenish-blue turquoise beads with lots of matrix (the more mottled the better, I love it!) , bronze freshwater pearls, Hill Tribe fine silver beads (starfish, nautilus and scallop shells) and sand dollar toggle style clasp.

Up for sale in my Etsy shop now.

Happy Birthday To Me!

>> Wednesday, January 20, 2010

Well not really, my birthday was the day after Christmas, but I wanted to share the pendant I made for myself. I am always working to finish custom orders and never make anything lovely for myself. This is the first time I've tried soldering more than one component together and I'm pretty proud of myself. I cut out the backing on the sea glass pieces so the light could shine through. Coke bottle green and frosty white sea glass are bezel set in fine and sterling silver. The pretty little shell is called a pearl umbonium and I have them for sale here. What do you think?
