Frames,frames and more frames....

I had given some things to my framer's to be framed some time ago.
Here they are.
I also bought a couple of cheap but well made frames half price from a shop that is closing in the neighbourhood.They are excellent for my sea themed wall for the summer house but for other pictures too.
Jill Wignall's Four Seasons from her collaboration with bookhou.
 Nikki McClure's print of her cut-out A new Materialism bought from Loja de Estar.
 Jill Wignall's original watercolour bought for the tsunami victims of Japan from Crafting for Courage.
 Ready made frames.
 My friend Brigitte's wrapping paper!
 Feather's photo of sea anemone and baby starfish.
 Three cards from Geninne Zlatkis.
 On my son's bedroom wall.
 My new bedroom look.Jill's Four Seasons and Ida's crocheted heart garland she sent me as a gift when I purchased her lamp shade.

 Opposite my bed the collection of frames is getting bigger and bigger.
 Jill's watercolour in the living room.
 A happy colourful tray.....
 and a chest of drawers with colourful baskets I bought half price from the same shop where I bought the frames.

What the mail brought.

Last week the mail brought...
Another purchase from Asta Sukiene's fantastic sea glass art!
Photographed of course on Paula's stones.(otchipotchi)
I had bought two other necklaces but couldn't really resist one in my favourite colour combination aqua and purple.
....A crocheted lampshade from Illaria aka Ida in the Netherlands.I just found Illaria through etsy recently but she is so very sweet and talented.Ida Interior Lifestyle is her shop on etsy and she also has a great blog.
Great wrapping paper and attention to detail from Ida.

 Before....my IKEA bedroom lamp.
 And after.....with Illaria's crocheted lampshade.


and ....A great Finn zine for the protection of the Baltic Sea.Named Our Little Sea  which I found through this blog
Ever since I visited Finland I love everything about this country.

 One of the illustrations by Minna Makipaa.
One euro from each zine sold goes to the preservation of the Baltic Sea
