Sunday, April 15

Welcome To The 68th Masterpiece Monday!

 I'm into my Summer time decorating mode now. I know, it's still April, for goodness sakes.

 And Friday, we had a down pouring of rain, rare for So. Cal.
 But as always the next day is sunny and all of the smog is gone and it feels like Summer.
 I dug through my linens and found my starfish runner I made a year or two ago.
 All I did was mix blue, green and white acrylic paint. Make my own starfish stamp. And apply it onto a drop cloth scrap.
 I also save bags of sand from the beach to use in vignettes.
It makes really good and free vase fillers.

    Your shells are so perfect for my day, temps in the eighties. Sure feels like summer. I love your vignette, the shells, quilt throw and the cloche look summer ready. Thanks for hosting.

    Morning Mary! Wow! Thank you so much for featuring my Pinto-Cado Dip. :~) I was a little under the weather the last few days and had't been on-line until this morning. This just made my day! Love, love, love the starfish runner. I can't believe it's a drop cloth!

    Thanks (as always) for hosting another fabulous MM. Have a truly awesome week! ~Mary

    I think if I lived at the beach (and didn't have toddlers), I'd have it decorated like your summer decor all of the time. I love the starfish stamped tablecloth you made - very simple and pretty. thanks for hosting.
