For Yo Baby Daddy!!!

My husband recently went home to Ormond Beach, Florida...... It was an old fashioned Southern family reunion, equipped with beehive hairdos, house coats, fried chicken and baked beans!!

He really misses his family!! I'm not sure, but I think his mom is starting to "feel" her age.... she made all these photo memory books and gave him all his trophies to take home! She also gave him a HUGE tackle box filled with vintage and antique fishing lures!

Most of these lures he couldn't bear to part with....... Others..... well, I was lucky, he gave em' to me!!! I made some great (well, I think so) Father's Day treats with them!!! I used beach stones from Rhode Island and California and paired them with some sweet lures!

I find it so hard to find "manly" gifts for our men!! How man ties and soap on a rope can one man pretend to love! These are cool.... functional..... can be used every day and HEY, if he's out around a lake one day..... he's prepared!!

Even More Ikebana

I am having such a blast making these Ikebanas! Sea Glass from Rhode Island and Beach Stones from Malibu, California..... They're so peaceful!! Look forward to more..... I'm always design manic come spring and summer..... I'm so inspired to work work work! Hope you like what's to come!

Sea Glass and Stone Ikebanas

Once and a while I must clean house and be creative at the same time! I've been collecting flat glass since I moved to Rhode Island..... not much you can do with it! While cleaning this weekend..... I thought of something! You like!?

STARTED MY NEW SHOP THIS WEEK!!!

It's called Sea Side Supply ~ SeaSideSupply.etsy.com ~ You can find all sorts of stuff from my favorite beaches!! Stones, that I've drilled for you, for your own makin' needs! There's drilled

sea glass, drilled Wampum shells, brick, pottery, I even have some melted metal!!

I have so much surplus from my last five years of beachcombing my RI beaches, I thought why not! So many landlocked people don't have the joy of the ocean, this way they can have little pieces of it!!

Above are samples of what you may find!! Have fun!
