Something New to Me

I was visiting my cousin and I commented on this shell display she had.  She told me to take it.  I protested.  I wasn't hinting for her to give me anything... I just liked it...  She insisted I take it...  My husband asked me where I thought I was going to hang it?  (He didn't want me to take it.)  She insisted.. I told my husband I'd put it in the laundry room.  He still frowned.  He said I could hang it outside the same as she had it, but he let me take it home.

There were a couple of starfish missing.  I made a special trip to Michaels to get some.  I glued some on and left it outside on a chair to dry.  The next day, the starfish were missing.  We can only guess that the dog ate them.  So back to Michaels to get more starfish.  I still need to clean up where the glue spread beyond the starfish on top and bleach a little more of the dark stains.  For now it is hanging in my laundry room. 

I will never again tell my cousin I like something in her house... no matter how much I love it...  I felt bad taking her beautiful shell display... but I sure do LOVE it...  Thanks Cousin!!
