I hope that you have been enjoying your weekend!
It’s been a bit of a mixed bag here, as our daughter from Texas is here for a visit and unfortunately my husband has had some sort of flu bug for the last week, so we haven’t been able to do much but hang around the house. Thankfully (and finger’s crossed) so far so good in keeping his bug confined to him! I decided to work on a little project while everyone is napping this afternoon…
This is one of those pieces that I just couldn’t bring myself to toss in the trash…although the trash is where I got it from! I don’t know about you, but I’m not too proud to pick up something that I find in a pile of rubbish. Are you with me on that?
It’s an old German porcelain vase that had been tossed aside by someone because it has a significant chip out of the top. Pretty as is, but a bit too colorful for my taste and the chip at the top was really noticeable…
When I was on Sanibel Island last weekend I picked up a bag full of seashells. They are beyond abundant on the Island!
Beautiful and such a great idea!!! Have a lovely week Janet!!
LOVE…another creative idea from you!
Oh, such a great idea for makeover! Thanks for sharing! I think I`m going to use it! š
Hugs,

clever and lovely piece – even though I thought it was perfectly acceptable with the chip LOL. I love making things with seashells, too!
Janet – Maybe I'm blind but I never saw the chip in the before pictures…? How did you get the shells to go over the chip?
Very creative and snazzy Janet!
You did a great job rescuing this from the trash. Somehow art/crafts seem to vary depending on the part of the country they originate. I see very little seashell art here in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains.
You clever girl! This looks wonderful! Great idea, Janet!!
xoox laurie
I just saw this post now. This came out so nice! I live near a beach where shells are abundant! What kind of gold paint or gold spray would you recommend using?
Thank you!
Hi Nancy…I recommend this one: https://amzn.to/2Ja2x9h
