shop update ... from me to you

this week's shop update is a wee bit hard for me.

with my upcoming move across country,  i'm trying to pare down as much as i can.
that means i have to let go of some of my personal items, ouch!

this week,  it's from my beach collection.

 

this old piece of real blue coral (not living)  is a large 12" and a beautiful display (pottery barn, eat your heart out :)

conch shell

fun chippy vintage hinged porthole, i had intentions of using this on a coastal inspired garden shed,

never did build the shed ..but i was ready with my window.

the buoys below i did use in my coastal garden, the colors were a nice accent among the flowers.

orange trawl net ball made in denmark 

large blue numbered buoy with zinc cap and hook

they'll be a few more in coming days, as i convince myself to let more go.  

contact me if you'd like me to hold one for you ... i've just started to list them.

and if your on or near Cape Cod on sunday ... there's a realty open house at my home,  stop in 1-3pm, you might just fall in love.  

great spot for your morning coffee

happy weekend

I had to share a few with you.

coming soon;

a hand painted umbrella, wouldn't this be beautiful for the summer wedding decor

vintage quilt from intricately stitched small circles.  with its light weight and colors, it's perfect for summer

 and this wood drying rack would be the perfect place to hang the quilt, or dry your linens

 
we all know about my addiction with boxes & cases.
i better put this old case in the shop soon, with it's worn feel & unusual shape, it's tugging me to keep it

 the  industrial cage lantern is in the shop, only one, so don't wait too long
