Look what I did with some tag sale stuff. This is serendipity.
A few years ago I read my granddaughter, Faith, a book called, “Anna’s Table”. It’s a child’s book about a girl named Anna who has a table filled with her seashore stuff. My granddaughter, Faith, wanted to do that, too, and I said, “Let’s use a suitcase to put your seashells and beach stuff in.”  

We live in Connecticut and not too far from the beach so we go to the beach several times a year, getting all kinds of beach stuff – including shells, seagull feathers, pieces of crabs, sand, and whatever we can glean from the ocean. Oh, yea, sea glass and driftwood. I’m big into sea glass. There is a “sea glass beach” – we call it that because it’s near a fishing pier where people have glass bottles (with varying kinds of liquids in them) and then some of these bottles end up in pieces on the beach a few feet away. My sister says that sea glass is just broken beer bottles. I hate thinking of it like that. I want a more romantic view of sea glass, don’t you? But I can’t think of any. Darn it, Carol!!


Here’s the inside of the suitcase. It’s not a real suitcase. It’s a little cardboard gift box in the shape of a little suitcase. I’ve had a bag of sand tucked away in the closet, not knowing what to do with it. It was the first thing to go in the suitcase.




I love these little suitcase boxes. I have lots of them scattered all over the house filled with sundry items.
This particular little suitcase came from a tag sale. I love the palm tree on the outside. So perfect.
Look what else I found at a tag sale. (SCREAM)



Artsy Picture. Blurry Mermaid.





Might as well throw a Photoscape Collage in here somewhere……… I could make these things all day and night. They are so much fun!



I like dolls and mermaids and toys in general. Does anyone else out there like these things?

I’m trying hard to make the most of the last weeks of Summer.. Why does it feel like summer is almost over??

Happy Summer
