Beach Combing Treasures

Some of the latest beach treasures...a little clean up and these will be ready for a project i am about to begin.
I have decided to make or “repurpose” furniture for the beach house in a very cottage chic style....so today i went to a thrift shop and got a small end table with a glass top. Then i went to a rather eclectic store called Trash & Treasure and picked up some really cool LARGE vintage tart pans...and when i am done with them and the table i will post photos so you can see what i have done to make them fun and functional!
It is finally OFFICIAL. I have a beach house!!! I need to pinch me....especially after this past weekend when everything was heading south with the whole deal because the seller was a completely nasty idiot. He was on the verge of foreclosure on the house...but was pissed because the attorneys could not get together to talk and get the final paperwork from the bank on Friday to close then. He threatened to nix the whole deal and keep the deposit. I think his attorney told him not to be a complete twit because this morning he finally signed the extension so the we could close today. We had to rush to get the walk through done this morning and get the utilities on to make sure no pipes froze (One did and burst in the outdoor shower and we had to get permission to fix that to the tune of 110.00 today with reimbursement coming from him, in order to close this afternoon...which i am sure he was breathing fire about.)
Anyway. it is over...and from my crows nest i can see the ocean...and the sound....and even Jockey’s Ridge State Park dunes! i am looking forward to making it a reflection of me!
