Coastal Living Inspired - Conch Shells & Carolina Pine


My inspiration - this simple (yet beautiful!) arrangement of shells and greenery from Coastal Living.



For my "use what you have" version, I gathered a small wire basket purchased at Goodwill a few months ago.


For the shells, I used a conch shell wind chime purchased from Wrightsville Beach (my absolute favorite place!) years ago - maybe even on our honeymoon.  I left the shells attached to the rope so I can hang it back up this summer.



And pine branches from our yard.  I just took a basket out in the front yard and gathered up the small branches that were scattered about the ground.



Then, I tucked the shells in the wire basket and placed the pine branches on the sides.  And here's my take on a beautiful Coastal Living look!     



I'm thinking about adding a few LED tea lights to table as well.  Just depends on if I have time to stop and pick some up.  So much to do and so little time!
