Nautical Storage

 Sorry for the long gap in posts lately. For an explanation have a look here.
Yesterday being a horrible rainy afternoon I busted out the craft supplies and made some new storage for DD's art supplies. So far I have 2 empty formula boxes and I was determined to use them.
 So once they had been cleaned and dried, I cover each one in a page from my atlas, added a fish label from a cutting up book and voila! One box for pens and one box for pencils and crayons.

I think they look rather smart and nautical. Certainly an improvement and more on theme than the old biscuit box they were in before. I also threw out any that were snapped or had run out of ink.

Simple cheeky decoration

 There is something about saucy seaside postcards that just brings out the giggly teenager in me. Whenever I spot a particularly rude or hilarious one in a seaside shop or newsagent I just have to snap it up to add to my collection.
 It occurred to me yesterday as I added another card to my stash that it was a waste to keep them out of sight. Their bright colours and cheekiness would be perfect added to my seaside theme hallway.
 So using the magic that is bluetack I arrange my collection on the doors of the hallway along with a few postcards from beach's we have visited on holidays and days out. It took about 5 minutes to organise and stick up, yet the difference is amazing! Already my hallway feels a little bit brighter and more seaside-y and a little bit ruder to.
