A Seashell Centerpiece

Since I live in Florida, seashells are never far away from my heart. I put a vignette together today with some of my favorites....I have tons of them from years of collecting.

Some shells came from the beach and others came from little out of the way shops.

Love your sophisticated combo of texturess-- weathered wood tray, smooth clear glass, organic shells!

You've got the theme down perfectly. I can imagine a breeze blowing through some sheer curtains and the sound of the ocean drifting in.

@Regal Bee I would like to see the candle without the holder. Love the seashells.

Simple and lovely. We too live on the water and decorate with shells etc for the Summer.

Our family and some friends are renting a large house on the ocean in the Outer Banks in July. I bought the toddlers fish shaped cages made out of plastic that you can carry and collect shells. That will keep them busy and we will add to our shell collection for display.

@Regal Bee-

So pretty! I love seashells and starfish too and have some favorites from lots of lovely beach walks

My favorite is a large light grey conch.

This year, for the first time since we moved to Florida 8 years ago, used a beach theme for the little bit of decor I put out.I really like it.Just a little here and there. Not much.

@Regal Bee

You've got the touch! No wonder you had a blog. Would you consider starting it again?

I did my upstairs bath in a beach theme. It has no windows, so the walls are yellow for sunshine, the bath is surrounded with a material (cultured granite) that looks like wet sand, there are shells on the shelf under the mirror, and over the back wall is a picture of two Adirondack chairs on the sand facing the gente waves of the ocean. And a lighthouse lamp, and a 1930s bather in a print, and a few other bits and pieces.

Just fyi, this is my favorite artist for beach and sand, Jacquelynn Kresman.

I love it! You live in a very beautiful state. I consider the sea shore with waves rolling in, one of God's most perfect creations...

I like to put a small plant and seashelkls together. On my lanai , on the table, I have a turquoise color tray, a multicolor pot with a small basil plant and 3 large seashells - a conch, a starfish and a sand dollar.

I like having fresh herbs in pots. Making them part of your decor is useful and different.

I had 3 herb pots with seashells surrounding them in my kitchen last summer. I used them all summer for cooking. I will do the same this year.

Beautiful arrangement ! Below is my iPad background of a shell arrangement from the mountain house:

Swans and shells everywhere, even though I have been downsizing the collection, lol !!!

@GingerPeach I had a blog for several years and loved it but it takes up hours of your time every day and when my husband retired, that just didn't work anymore.

He has us involved in too many things and I don't have the time....but, I did love it.

@itsmetoo Thanks for noticing. I purchased this house scarf just for summer vignettes.

I totally forgot to photograph the other side of the vignette................
