Sea foam tickled my toes while playful waves cast treasures at my feet.
A closer look revealed a scripted scroll safely preserved inside a glass encasement.
I gently unraveled the delicate paper, and with thrilling anticipation proceeded to
read every word.
Instantly, my heart was taken captive, drawn to the depths of a thousand oceans.
And I gladly surrendered.
That was the day I fell in love with the sea and all the dreams it holds for me.
Photograph taken last year on my way to The Florida Keys. Sky and sea joined as one.
The rest was basically papering the flip-flop and embellishing.
Congratulations to Emily of The French Hutch, the lovely guest to receive a
Somewhere in Time Vintage Shoe Tag
I am interested, lovely lady! What a beautiful project as always. That's a fabulous view of the Florida Keys.
ReplyDeleteI would love to receive a gift from you, my friend! I love all of the pretty beachy things that you make! The photo of the Keys is amazing! I'm dreaming....! Sweet hugs!
ReplyDeleteMarcia,
ReplyDeleteI am in love with this little flip-flop shoe! And the rose on it is adorable. Jess loves the sea and lives very close to it. The picture you took looks like the sky and the sea are the same color....so beautiful. Yes, Yes, I would love to receive this gift, and I'm so happy for Emily at The French Hutch; she is very sweet.

WOW! I am finally able to come to the computer to visit and I am TOTALLY LOVING the next font for the header and the sidebar AND I really love how my illustration fits so perfectly into your BEAUTIFUL SCENERY! You are making me want to dream of the beach NOW! The clean and simple font is super my dear. What great shoes! Aren't little shoes so fun to make? I am missing that a bit.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is great. Thank you so much for featuring me! Many hugs dear Marcia, Anita
You are such an inspiration! This is gorgeous and I love that it's a little treasure box! The sea has always held part of my soul. It restores me like no where else can. The little note in a bottle is a perfect place for secrets! Thanks for letting us share in your talents!

Marcia, what a lovely verse you created to accompany the unveiling of your Scripted Flip-Flop. I decorated one of these little boxes years ago and I can tell you they are certainly a big hit! I love the colors and I feel like I'm at the beach at Hilton Head with my girls, looking for sand dollars and feeling the waves break on us. Thank you for the memory, XOXO
ReplyDeleteThese are incredibly adorable! I was so taken in, I didn't even see they were little boxes until your tutorial. Add another to the bucket list of future projects!
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely...
ReplyDeleteHope that all is well in your corner of the world.
Have a great weekend

Marcia, I would love to own one of these flip flops. Is your story true? I love it!! Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeletePS where ever did you find a box shaped like that?
Linda, the story is true in my heart. :)
DeleteMichael's carries the papier-mâché flip-flops.
How lovely to receive! My favourite colours as well! Me thinks I better add my name to the giveaway drawing Marcia (no talent in that department I'm afraid!)
ReplyDeleteThe last photo reminded me of our island...no blue water though (sigh)!
Have a wonderful weekend Dear Lady!
Marcia, you have such a way to draw people in... this is just beautiful. Like you. Thanks for sharing this. I might have to have a go at it. :) Linda
ReplyDeleteThese are so darling! You are beyond generous....
ReplyDeleteAnd ahhhh...there is nothing like the sea...my soul longs for it often, since it is where I was born...
How blessed you are to be so near it, dear friend....
I hope you had a wonderful and relaxing little vacation as well!
Sending blessings and love your way....
I, too, love the fresh new look!

Ohhh nothing better than a treasure designed with the sea in mind. Hope I am not too late to be a possible recipient of such a loving giveaway!!! You have such a creative heart!<3 I love the sea blues you created! Your picture holds such magic! ;)
ReplyDeleteYour flip flop creation is beautiful. Oh, and I love what Anita created for you. That shop illustration is enchanting. No wonder you two are friends, your creations are lovely.

Thank you dear and wonderful Marcia, for coming to my post. Yes, that is me in 1978 during a theatrical rehearsal for JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR! I was a leper. teheehee! I later worked my way up to a thief in A Christmas Carol, a bobby soxer in Bye-Bye Birdie and a principal dancer in West Side Story. That was only the beginning of a fabulous time on stage. My grandma was also a stage person, but she sang. I did NOT inherit that gift, but my beautiful cousin Marie did....
ReplyDeleteLOVE TO YOU! Anita
