An Attempt to Create a Beach View

I'm still dreaming.

In between gasps of breath 

and nursing muscle spasms, 

I pulled together something to make 

me closer to my dream location.

I changed my faux mantle up a bit.

This is an attempt to create a beach view.

I added some rope and a star fish to my wreath.

I may change the bow later, 

but for now this works.

When I'm at the beach, 

I don't need to remind myself to relax.

But I'm not at the beach.

I added the shells that I had collected over the years

and the favorite photo of my daughter and myself.

I also added rope to the large Ball jar.

Books and a cake plate are great for adding 

height to a vignette.

These two books are my two favorites.

Shells, shells and more shells

from early mornings walks on the beach.

Does anyone remember the story behind the sand dollar?

We did beach photos at Hilton Head 

when our Connor-man was 6 months old.

This is a favorite of him and his Grandy.

This is a closer view of the starfish 

that was attached with rope.

And a closer view of the rope around the jar.  

I can breathe now without 

spasm hiccups.

When I need to remind myself to relax, 

I'll look at my view.

Blessings upon Blessings, 

Bonnie:)
