I spent a great weekend away with family in Maine last weekend.
The coast there is beautiful! So different from Michigan. {I don't think an ounce of sand exists in the state!}
The thing I noticed right away when we got out of the airport was the scent of pine. I love it!
We spent one day along the coast and I came across these beautiful oyster shells. I'd seen lots of crafts online involving oysters so I snatched a few up!
I took all I could fit in my hand.
See? No sand! This is me with my cousin Naomi. Love that girl!
What I love about these oyster shells is their beautiful pearly inside. So pretty.
As my name implies, my goal is to create a "Homey Home". {Again, this is what my kids call our house.}
To create a home that is visually homey, you need to inject texture. What better way than with items from nature. I found a frame that had a little dip in the sides, perfect for fitting the rounded shape of the outer shell.
They shells were simply glued on using a hot glue gun. Super simple.
I decided to swap out the picture with something more muted so that the picture wouldn't necessarily out perform the texture/color of the frame.
So the next time you are at the ocean, don't overlook those oyster shells!
Thanks for stopping by!
