Isn't this cool art? The shell is painted on an old ceiling tile from the early 1900's...right up my alley, a little bit shabby, a little bit chic. I fell in love with it this past weekend while having breakfast with the G.A.B.S. (girls at the beach scrapbooking) on Anna Maria Island. We got together to scrapbook for the weekend and they took us out for breakfast at an old IGA grocery store that has been converted to a bakery/restaurant filled with antiques, paintings and beach paraphernalia. What a great place...I'm definitely going back.
So, I bought the painting and this is what it looks in its new home on my kitchen wall. Happy, happy! Below the painting are some of my collection of dried herbs, veggies and things from my garden that I use to make my own teas. Peppermint, lemon balm and raspberry leaves are just a few of the things I've dried in the dehydrator for tea.
Ball jars and a label maker......voila! Instant kitchen art and function all rolled into one.
I just love the way the dried pineapple rings turned out. They can be broken into smaller pieces and added to my own concoction of dried herbs to create a unique blend of tea. It's official, I'm having way too much fun.Have a happy day,
Debbie
