Bunche Beach Shell Box

A couple of weeks ago we picked up this little green box at an estate sale.  I really had no idea what I was going to do with it, but any time I see a cool little box, of course I have to buy it.  It was in pretty rough shape..


Pretty bad, huh?  I pulled out some light blue paint and gave it a couple of coats.


My friend Cheri from over at the Shelllady Blog  has a house near Sanibel Island.  Cheri recently sent me some jewelry making metal stamps so I wanted to make her something special for her new home.  Cheri loves Bunche Beach, so I decided to stencil shells and Bunche on the box for her.  Then I distressed the whole thing....




I can't wait to see what kind of shells she finds to fill it up.  She is a master sheller.  Go over and check out Cheri's blog for lots of posts about Sanibel Island..  She's a new Grandma too.

      My daughter makes my stencils with her Cricut. It's a great advantage.
