Beach Inspired Memory Jar

July 11, 2013 By Meegan 6 Comments

For my whole life I have loved the ocean, collected shells, and always had them in my surroundings.  I keep them in boxes and bottles all over the house.  But, I wanted something a little special for this particular collection.  That’s why I came up with this Beach Inspired Memory Jar.  And it didn’t cost me a penny-love it!

This sand and shells are from our trip to Tahiti, a few years ago.

Happy Tuesday everyone!!  isn’t it a beautiful day?  I am just smiling today because I made a DIY Silver Shell Candle Holder.  It was so easy and looks fresh and Summery.

I am also smiling because my 89 year old FIL is here for a few days.  He really is amazing.  He still drives, makes his own meals, and travels (a little).  We have always enjoyed each other.  He is my companion for the next day or so while Hubby is working.

ANYWAY, I need to tell you about my DIY Silver Shell Candle Holder.  I was sitting out at the pool browsing through my Pottery Barn Summer catalog. And, I saw a gorgeous silver shell.

Since I am in the process of making over our balcony, these DIY Silver Shell Candle Holders would be just the touch I need.
