flea market finds: under the sea!
maybe because its summer that i have been finding stuff (or perhaps they found me!) with the sea theme. i am not complaining! i have long realized that i probably could never live far from the sea. it is mysterious and a bit intimidating to me but i love it no other way. so the first thing i found was a wooden seahorse (for 50p!) with a lovely blue color.instantly i thought the bathroom would be a perfect place for him (i also have the blue sailboat there) but then again why not the cloche? for some tabletop summer reminder :)true to the under the sea theme, the mister and i decided to go to the beach for some beachcombing (originally for some green glass bits i have been thinking of putting into a collage) but i got so caught up with the beautiful seashells that i ended up bringing them home and putting them in a tall glass vase! here they are perfect with the little seahorse.this scallop-shaped sugar cellar is soo cute that a little polish would instantly give it the oommpphh factor. ill post an "after" pic soon :)it even came with its own cute little tongs!i dont know why i bought this trio of necklaces but i was drawn to their unusual rich color (almost porcelain-like but i dont have a way of knowing) this one is a combination of black with squiggly orange.and this one is blue with a delicate white orchid design.this last one is royal blue with tongues-of-flame orange. i have no idea how to clean them or what i am going to do with them yet :) i do get a little bit silly sometimes!
