Oysters, oysters everywhere!!

Good FRIDAY morning to all. So happy you stopped by to sit under the old Southern ooaks tree for a bit.  Be careful and don't step on all the oyster shells lying about. Not that you could really hurt them...they are tough little shells but they might put an ouchie on that footsie. ^_^

While digging through my shell stash the other day, I found some oyster shells that I had totally forgotten I had. I LOVE oyster shells and I have to admit that they kinda remind me of well ummmmm ME. Ya know, kinda rough and weathered on the outside but smooth and pretty on the inside. HeHe Well...that's how I feel!!

I made some cute little mermies the other day but in looking at them I thought "Hmmmmm, they need something else", yes, that was the thought I had and I did something about it. With the help of an oyster shell I turned them into cute little ring holders.

Cute, ri iight??  Mother Natures perfect little holder, well, with a tad bit of help from muah!! The lil mermaid face one has already been claimed. HeHe  I will be putting the other two in my Etsy shop. I plan on making several more of these plus when I get some new oyster shells and some are big enough, I'm going to be making some soap dishes. I'm sure my muse will probably come up with a few other items too.

Until next time...........Hugs,

Beach does a body good!!!

Good afternoon!! I hope everyone has had an awesome weekend so far. I know that mine is going along quite nicely so far. We went on a small beach walk earlier today and it was soooo nice to recharge our batteries. hehe  I didn't find any big stashes of shells but did find a few small ones here and there. It was nice just feeling the sun on our faces and smelling the salt air.

I worked on the hermies and mermies this morning and I think they turned out fairly well. Let me know what ya think please.

The hermies will look so much better when I get them in their little habitats. I'm having to watch Boo and Callie really close because apparently they think they are real and keep trying to smack them with the paw and hissing at them. Silly cats!!!

I also worked on some jewelry pieces using some of my olive shells and one of my tiny Nautilus shells. I did my twisted square knot hemp rope ones and then attached the shells with pretty charms. I'm working on a necklace now that will have one of the bigger olives and a larger silver turtle charm.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you will come again and soon. Please leave a comment...I love my comments and I love answering them back.
