On my treasure hunt last weekend I found this very kitschy vintage hand crafted flower pot full of sea shell flowers. It didn't look all that great as it was, but I saw great potential in the beautiful flowers. I really loved the soft romantic colors especially the subtle PINKS. Someone had worked hours and hours on these gorgeous flowers.....some roses, some mums, other flowers and even some seashell butterflies! You know how crazy I am for stacked books and showcasing something wonderful on top of them and these flowers are definitely it. Imagine these on a shabby chippy white coffee table on top of a stack of books about seashells or ships or mermaids (in your fabulous little beach

Wow, those shell flowers are beautiful. Never seen anything like those before. I am off the ladder for a few minutes. Thanks so much for coming by and the nice comments. Glad you found me so I could find you. Have a great weekend.
So beautiful and unique!!
I agree is looks like hours of work to assemble. Enjoy.
That is so lovely, Lynn. The amount of time and care taken to make it is truly amazing.
Of course you saw potential, people love shells, someone is going to snatch that up for their cottage beach house!

Shells are magic in any form. Looking at them makes me feel young again...and twenty pounds lighter!

Oh my goodness, they are amazing!!! I can honestly say I have never seen anything like them! Gorgeous, just gorgeous...I have a beach cottage, I wonder what they would look like here?
( My Glimmermist secret (?) is that I shake the heck out of the bottle for ages and then I sprake from about 20cm back...I also manage to spray everything in the close vicinity but it is a nice light sparkly coverage.)
Hope your day was wonderful,

Oh my goodness - these are absolutely beautiful! It is amazing to see how you used one of God's wonderful creations, shells, to depict another, flower blossoms. I am speechless! Thanks for sharing!
I too can not believe how fabulous these shell creations are. What tedious, intricate talent. How beautiful, thanks for sharing.

Lynn, that goes beyond kitsch to art. It reminds me of those sailor's Valentines that you see in New England shops. I loved what you did with it, too. Glad you found this because it is a true treasure!

Hi Lynn! Love the seashell flowers..another great find on your treasure hunt!!
Just returned home from several hours with my side of the family at a park!! It was nice and warm and dry BUT extremely windy. I am worn slick from the wind and chasing gr. kids...but it was so terrific to see my nieces and nephews and other relatives. Now, I'm gonna go crash for a while!
Hope you had a terrific Pink Sat! L, Dana
Hello fellow Lynn!

Hi Lynn! Always Elegant...
Sorry for the absence, but my computer broke down and I’ll be waiting a month for it to be fixed… ;-( Anyhow, I left you a post on the suburbs of Ephesus for you to enjoy. Have a great week!!
Helly Lynn,
I love the bouquet of flowers and how you wrapped them in music sheets :-). Yes, we do love those pretty flower wrappers but this is something much more interesting so I like it too!
How have you been? Things haven't quite been well but it's going ok now.
Mizpah,
