This time of year, late July, I get that little nudge to play with some Seashell Decor. There's a short window of opportunity to do shell decor around here. Early Summer is filled with garden fun, then comes the Patriotic decor. Now's the time before "Pre Fall" starts. So I put together a little vignette on an antique tray in the Dining Room. It's not really "beachy", but more "vintage". I found a few pieces of silver accessories and a jewelry casket, then filled them with small shells. Joining them is a vintage plaster little girl bust from the 60's, a small clock, and an old crystal drop from a chandelier. A glass cylinder hurricane with a small ring of individual shells. Here's the post when I painted this sweet little antique glass tray. French Lessons Here are a couple of posts from a few years ago where I used some other vintage pieces to display my shells. Summertime Seashell Vignette The large Conch Shell in the Blue Willow tureen is a real antique. As long as I could remember it was used at my childhood farmhouse as a door stop for the front door. Shells and More Decor Quick and Easy Seashell Topped Bottles As I've said before, you can always tell what's got me interested because my Pinterest boards and recent pins reflect my searches. These are a few pics from my Pinterest Board, Seashell Decor. Please don't pin these images here, please go to the board and re-pin from there. Hope you have a great weekend. We'll be putting the inside of the house back together after over 3 weeks of workmen. joining in here: Celebrate Your Story at Celebrate and Decorate Happiness is Homemade at Blue Sky at Home Love Your Creativity at Life and Linda Tips and Tutorials at Home Stories A to Z Inspire Me Tuesday at A Stroll Thru Life Homestyle Gathering at Serving Up Southern Keep in Touch at Let's Add Sprinkles Talk of the Town at Knick of Time Turnabout Tuesday at My Wee Abode Share Your Style at French Ethereal Style Showcase at Shabby Fufu Vintage Charm at Our Hopeful Home Wonderful Wednesday at LeCultivateur Thursday Favorite Things at Follow the Yellow Brick Home Grace at Home at Imparting Grace Farmhouse Friday at The Painted Hinge
