Vintage Beach Cottage - part 2!
As you can see, I've taken my current blue/green love to my blog design for a change. I just can't seem to stick with my blog design for very long! I get tired of looking at the same thing. I just did a little quickie last night tho - continue to love those pastel shades - aren't they so pretty?
Here's some pictures of the little box I made for Sherry in the Vintage Beach Cottage Swap. Unfortunately my photos didn't come out so I grabbed these off Sherry's blog! We were both amused by the similarities in color and elements in our two gifts!
I put a little collection of seaside ephemera in an old wallpaper envelope - tucking in "sea" from a vintage children's dictionary! - and added one of my Nantucket button hearts that I had in my Etsy shop last summer.
...and filled in the bottom with beachy treasures - shells and seaglass from my collection and a bit of "beach grass" (ok, its just raffia ribbon!) I know I've said it before but this swap made me miss Sconset so much! Wish I was going back there this summer. Really, I wish I lived there year round! I could take island winter, couldn't I?

Here's another Sconset photo.. you can see what I mean, can't you?
