Sea Shells, Buttons, & Bowls


White china and sea shells go so nice together they almost look good enough to eat!



Shell buttons are yummy too.




An old rusty metal box adds to the visual feast.




I may be far from the sea, but a little imagination travels a long way. Is there a better way of celebrating Summer? I'm thinking white, and getting a little help from my sea shells, buttons, and bowls . . . .














































I hope you're having a wonderful
 Summer WHITE Wednesday!
Ciao! for now!
