Sea Market

I must go down to the Sea again.....Sea Marketing...Saturday, August 1, 2009....I bought a little boat to float home with all the treasures found today!

Glass fish accessories...one of the many alluring collections for my aquaseum.

I found this mesmerizing corduroy scene of The Pier....Mermaids peer there 'neath the docks, skimming close to the boats, rising above the water to take in the scents of fish catches and sailors' wares...only the seagulls espy our presence.


A trophy reminder of the first sailor, lured by my siren songs..What a catch.



A figurine that caught my eye--and reminds me of "enchanted" land visits.




I have 13 of these fine, vintage dinner plates. This is one of my favorites.





Magnificent shell-shaped "bath tub"....Add Pearl Drop Bubble Bath....my scales will be cleaned to a glittery glow.






Beaded necklaces, by artist, Sherry Candy Lane, made of genuine turquoise, pearls, glass, hematite, and more...will be stunning with this dramatic pair of neon blue gloves.







Sometimes the rocks become so uncomfortable....this small boat will be a welcome change for weekend sun bathing.








Baubles...like this pearl bracelet...pretty props in my treasure chest.









Sea Glass Galore....washed a million times in Ocean Tides and kissed in whitewash caps, the glass has mingled amongst the deepest secrets....Now to be touched and admired by the lucky seacomber....Turquoise glass is my favorite.



































Lily Shelly is my favorite sea doll. Once a Kewpie-like cutie, Sherry Candy Lane re-dressed her in mystic shells. Lily loves her make-over.




























Island dolls strike my fancy...genuine handmade in places like Jamaica, Bermuda...calico fabrics and exotic faces...bring my mind to want to be in these places...on land...close to the sea....yet, with the earth beneath my feet.














Fish Bottles...Fancy or plain...line my shelves in every room. Some are 9"...some are 12 - 16" high. Made by Wheaton/or wine makers/or reproduced as accessories.
















The more shells, the better. I can spend hours arranging and re-arranging shells. I use them for wallpaper, picture frames, jewelry, games, bartering, and much more. This small crate of shells came from Antiqua.
