Inspired by Pintrest to Summer decorate!

 You already know what a freak I am for glass domes. My collection

has taken over my dining room table and more than a few of the

cabinets in our home office. I am always looking for ways to use

them. So when someone repinned a recipe of mine and I noticed

this on her Pintrest board, I became inspired to decorate the

console table with seashells today. After all, summer is here!

By the way, I have a confession to make...

In a fit to de-clutter last month, I gave away two of my most favorite glass

domes on wooden bases. They were very old. The glass was wavy-vintage

and the green felt on the bottom of each base said they once belonged to a

discriminating collector. I always intended to paint the bases white and to

use them in some fabulous way; however, in the meantime, I grew tired

of moving them from one corner of the dining room table to the other...

So I gave them away. Now, I find myself missing them every day!

If you're questioning my use of Monarch butterflies in a seashell display, try

to remember that while I don't live there now, my heart always lives here...

Where seashells and monarch butterflies together makes perfect sense!
