A fresh start

Wednesday, 6 June 2012


 I feel like I haven't sat down and written a post in ages, last week was a complete blur of settling back into work and general life so my blog has been a little neglected of late. I think blogging can be a bit like going to the gym once you get on a roll its amazing but once you stop its hard to get going again, well thats what I have been feeling plus I've been ill which doesn't help. Anyway, I had to get things back into some sort of shape, I spent the weekend tracking down all the wedding vases and props that are scattered at various people's houses; some I have brought home, some will stay until we have more space. I thought it would be a good opportunity to change my displays over, like I did here and as I have returned from the Philippines with a new hoard of shells and a wood pile (my dad was so jealous) I went onto make a sea inspired themed shelf. It looks so much better plus, it reminds me of holidays which can only be  a good thing. I DIY'd the wood picture so come back tomorrow and I will show you how to make one, its perfect for hiding unsightly's like modems.

    Shells in jars - what a lovely idea. They make for a great display.

    Thanks Nina - I only seem to use jam jars for displaying shells or beads!
