Eve has gone coastal.


You're probably saying,
"enough already with the coastal display's"
but I'm sorry,
I'm having so much fun, 
I can't help myself.










Eve,
my multiple personality display hutch,
has jumped on my "coastal bandwagon" 
and is begging for the spotlight,
so,
today is
All about Eve.



When choosing a coastal theme it helps to have some seashells and 
I found just what Eve needed at G.W.

At first glance this bag of shells didn't look too promising. 


But, upon closer inspection,
 I was pleased to see their unique shapes and sizes.


They went in a glass container.  


This little bundle of shells for $1.99,


had these inside.


I used the shells and this bag of decorative glass,


to make a little display box.


The shells didn't stop there,
I also found this bag of shells.
It was huge!
The mother load of all shells.


This little treasure trove 
went in glass containers as well.


Shells, rocks, drift wood, dried branches and a wooden bowl went in the display.


I had an old soda crate and I used it to display some more shells.


And, 
what's a coastal theme without a message in a bottle?


Here she is once again,
a changed woman,

Eve.





She's so vain,
she probably thinks this blog is about her.

Well, it is, 
but she doesn't need to know that!

The many faces of Eve.

 

Eve is joining these parties...

  1. I get the biggest kick when you show off Eve. She is absolutely breathtaking in her new coastal glory. I cannot believe you got all those shells, coral pieces, and glass at GW. I wish I could find something there. I have one down the street from me that is new and another one about ten minutes from here and I come up empty handed every time. Love Eve's new look!!!

  2. Can never have enough coastal stuff. that's my view at least.

    In my mind, this such a good idea/tutorial for that I HOPE you'll get yourself a link from our blog to this tutorial by using our DIY / Craft Tutorial Linky Party (PR 3-4 site, http://www.finecraftguild.com/diy-linky-party-free-pillow-crochet-pattern/ )

    We've only just began this linky party series, but it's going to be every Wednesday, from now on.

    We'll leave this first linky party open for a whole week, and will probably continue till all the good tutorial writers/creative talents know where to go on EVERY WEDNESDAY.

    Hope to see you on the FCG blog!

  6. Nicely done. You got some great deal. Our GW never has anything really worth buying. It is also very expensive.

  7. How cool that you keep changing the look. Think I like the shells best.

    Hey! I found a link to your blog (and mine too!) on a RUSSIAN website. I’m sending the site and I also translated it with Babelfish translator. Thought you might get a kick out of this. Too funny!
