Gulf Shore Trinkets by grammyn

Gulf Shore Trinkets

Some say I am a hoarder. My mother was an elementary school teacher who had to teach her own art classes so I grew up being made aware of the potential reuse of all types of objects. These are some objects I found on a trip to the Gulf of Mexico beach years ago and I assembled them into this trinket that sits on a shelf in my house now.
Nice

Your mother taught you a wonderful skill. Being able to reuse things for something new can give such a spark of inspiration and creatively . Once again great details and lighting!

My mother on the other hand, was the original de-clutterer. So I didn’t learn my collecting gathering skills from her, ha. This is a lovely collection, well displayed.

@moviegal1 @dutchothotmailcom @olivetreeann @taffy @kwind @darylo @madamelucy @mcsiegle @eudora @ludwigsdiana @monikozi @30pics4jackiesdiamond @cjphoto @louannwarren @judithdeacon @gijsje @theredcamera @pej2 @randystreat @geertje I really appreciate all the nice comments. My children lean toward calling me a hoarder but every now and then they are happy to see I have kept something especially if it has a memory for them as well. This will probably get tossed when I die but it gives me lots of happy memories for now.

A lovely display and lots of memories each time you look at it. When I go on holiday I always try and bring back a small pebble or shell as a momento.

@serendypyty thank you so much Cazzi. I have brought back sand and ocean water from a couple of countries I’ve visited but I didn’t keep very good records so I’m not sure I can tell you which sand and ocean goes with which country anymore!

Lovely memory!

@jacqbb Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

you are so creative. i just might send you all the shells kicking around here. i don't know what to do with them. sometimes, i'd just put one in my pocket for no reason. aces!

p.s. what's the alien at the back doing?
February 13th, 2021  
@summerfield sorry I missed this so long ago! I think you are easily impressed if you think this is creative. Most pf the ones I collected are in a decorative jar on a shelf! I don't see the alien!
