Favorites from my Beach Decor Pinterest board


Here are a few of my favorite pins on my Beach Decor Pinterest Board.
I recently spend a few days at Rockport, Ma. It is one of my favorite beach spots and fortunately it is close to where I live. Each year my mom and my sisters get together and we stay at The Captains Bounty. It is right on the Atlantic Ocean at Front Beach. Each morning my sisters and I searched the beach for unique finds to use for my Angels n Everlastings shop. It was creations like this driftwood mirror from CottageandBungalow.com that inspired me to bring home a big bag of driftwood this year.




Here is a color pallette from Thecoastaltouch.com I found recently on pinterest.



I like it because it is different than the aqua beach palettes that are so common. The green is outstanding and so true to life. Check out this photo



I took while at Rockport showing the same green tone.

Here is one more pinterest find from houzz.com I love the neutral tones here! These tiles are by Wet Dog Tile Co located in Alstead, New Hampshire. Visit their web site here.

Well, these are just a few pins from my beach home decor pinterest. Check out the rest at http://www.pinterest.com/judy_russi/beach-home-decor/ Kindly leave a comment or share your favorite beach finds.

Beach Finds at Rockport, MA

I spent a few days recently at Rockport, MA.  I have some beach photos to share later but here is a quick post of seashells and sea glass finds on the beach. 
 My family helped me collect bits of sea glass and seashells along the beach in Rockport, Ma.  You can find bits of sea glass and if you look carefully you can also find rarer little bits of sea pottery.

Check out the pottery piece with the imprint in the photo above.  Below there are a few deep cobalt blue pieces which were rarer and if you look closely a small piece of beach pottery with a blue imprint.  
I am going to use some of these for myself but I will be using some of these finds in creations for my Angels n Everlastings Etsy shop

New at Angels-n-Everlastings

One of my newer listings at Angelsneverlastings.etsy.com is the beach scene diorama.  I really enjoy putting these together.  Each one is unique.


I enjoy painting the background as I find it more creative than putting wreaths together.  I carefully go though my beach findings to choose just the right seashells or driftwood to finish each one.  A sawtooth hanger can be added to the back if you would prefer to hang rather than display on a tabletop.

Here's a new wreath just listed today.






It has eucalyptus, seashells, dried roses and deep blue larkspur.  Here is the link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/160918420/seashell-wreath-spanish-moss-covered?ref=shop_home_active



A sheer ribbon bow surrounded by dried roses and seashells creates a soft focal point.









I love to walk the beach early in the morning, many mornings I take some photos as the sun rises.
Here's one from a recent morning.


On a recent morning, I found some interesting driftwood pieces.  What did I do with them?













Here are some Christmas tree ornaments or small wall hangings, made from the driftwood, seashells, moss and sea glass:

.  
This one is a larger wall hanging with seashells, sea glass and green moss.  It measures 17 inches long.  Watch for the driftwood pieces to be added soon to my Etsy shop.

Beach Finds This Week

This week I found a mixed bag of stuff on the beach.  Here is someone doing some fishing off of Revere Beach.  It was somewhat of a grey morning.  If you look closely you can see a lighthouse off in the distance.  I collected some seashells along with some driftwood and one pine cone.  
I'm not sure what I will do with the pine cone or the driftwood but I will use the seashells for beach home decor for my Angels n Everlastings Etsy shop.  Click here for one of my newer listings: Decoupage Wooden Plaque with Hymnal Music and Seashells
