Invoke the Sea

Almost every January like clockwork, my thoughts turn to the beach, to warm weather and to the sea.
Today as the snow came down, I decided to invoke a little of the sea.

Taking an empty basket, I added seashells arranged just so, paper flowers, a few strands of faux pearls and a bit of lace. Such a transformation! It turned out to be a beautiful arrangement.



You can easily invoke the sea with a basket of your own filled with treasures from vacations past, sea souvenirs, heirlooms or any other crafty pieces. We are still in winter here so I kept my color scheme white with a hint of the dried, the memory-tinged and a look of days by-gone with a touch of peach and pale rusty yellow.'



The sea basket is now gracing the bathroom so that it can be nearest the water.
