Treasures from the sea...

(editing using Picmonkey's tranquil at 70%, then one layer of Kim's 99 texture, lighten, 30% opacity)

The dunes around the beach house we rented for our family reunion were topped with sea grass.
I had to clip a few of the sea grass "plumes" to take home with me.
And of course, I'm always on the lookout for sea shells.

  2. These are yummy, Elizabeth. (And you do not look your age at all. You will be like my mama who is 67 and looks like she's in her 40's. ;))

  5. Your treasures from the beach are so wonderful, Elizabeth! I love the beach but I realize I really don't have a connection to it...not sure why! I've been an "inlander" for most of my life, but did live on islands for 6 years in the 70's. Your decorating vignettes are always beautiful. The sea grass and dune photo you chose for your quote is truly spectacular.
