Summer Home Decor 2019

While I don't live near the ocean, seashells, mermaids

and ocean life come visit my home during the Summertime

  

 Thank you Angie!

 

 

 Hope you enjoy these last of our Summer days...Autumn 

will be here soon and I can hardly wait for it!

Mermaid Altered Bottles & Good Friends!

In July, Girlfriends Gathering, gathered at my home for Summertime crafting.

It was, as always, an amazing day filled with good friends, good food and creating!

I had done some purging in my small studio and

found I had way too many bottles...so,

Altered Bottles was our artsy craft for the day.

Of course with it being Summer,

Mermaids were the theme

Lee's Altered Mermaid Bottle

Lee first tried color fairy lights to illuminate her bottle.

Followed up by switching to white fairy lights

Nora's Altered Mermaid Bottle

While searching for mermaid images, I found most

mermaids have long, flowing, curly red hair.

Few are blonde and only found two as brunettes.

Nora chose a brunette mermaid to adorn

Love this text on the backside of her bottle!
(Several of us used it too)

 

  I think the way Beth's story goes is she found her bottle at

an estate sale that morning on her way here...

her bottle was blue and perfect!

 

Here's a different view showing a wonderful Beachy tag

(I think she may have made at one of our prior Gatherings)

Kim created her mermaid bottle in

her delightful, colorful Bohemian style

painting in her mermaid image

Gail chose not to create a mermaid bottle. 
She loves purple and chose to create this beauty

Rather than a mermaid bottle, Karla worked on her
