As the temperatures climb this time of year whites and blues look so inviting. Needing a little change sent me looking for things collected over the years to do a little summer decorating. I think the vintage, flea market, blue bottles could make a comeback to the living room area. Maybe in the entry table this time.
I love this copper and turquoise ex voto - heart more now than when I first bought it. Although a newer piece,
it does have a hint of the beauty of aged copper in its antiqued finish.

I had been on the search for a few beautiful sea urchin shells and sweet daughter found these in the ocean on one of her vacations and brought it home to me without me ever mentioning that I wanted one. A little gift which was a big surprise and much loved.
Even though this is a typical way of summer decorating, bringing in shells and lots of blues & whites, it is not necessarily so for me so it will be a nice change. Oh how the ocean waters call out to us this time of year.
See Y'all Soon~

What a beautiful post, Donna. Isn't it wonderful when our kids "get us" with no prompting on our part. Those sea urchins are just so special...and the whole vignette looks great- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteBeautiful vignette! Love the blues, urchins and copper.
ReplyDeleteLove those blue bottles! They look so pretty with the shells.
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE your copper heart! Do tell where you found it.
ReplyDeleteI love the heart, Donna! It is definitely cooling to look at. I think we are all going through this freak heat wave. I wish it would break already ~ I'm tired of hearing "we'll hit triple digits today"! Keep cool! : )
ReplyDeleteThe heart ex-voto was purchased a couple of years ago from American Harvest online. But I don't see any on their site anymore.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by ladies... keep cool!
what gorgeous colors, the copper and the blue are perfect together! I think we're all lovin' the wonderful texture and colors of shells. What a sweet unexpected gift from your daughter!
