ALMOST PARADISE

HOME IS WHERE THE ANCHOR DROPS

LIFE ISN’T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE WINDS TO CHANGE … IT’S LEARNING TO ADJUST YOUR SAILS.

SEAS THE DAY, CATCH A WAVE, DON’T BE SHELLFISH

WE CAN’T CONTROL THE WINDS BUT WE CAN DIRECT THE SAILS…

HOPE ANCHORS THE SOUL. HEBREWS 6:19

ADVICE FROM THE OCEAN: BE SHORE OF YOURSELF … COME OUT OF YOUR SHELL … TAKE TIME TO COAST … AVOID PIER PRESSURE … SEA LIFE’S BEAUTY … DON’T GET TIDE DOWN … MAKE WAVES!

PEARLS GO WITH EVERYTHING

EVERY PIRATE NEEDS A MERMAID

THE SAND MAY BRUSH OFF, THE SALT MAY WASH CLEAN, THE TANS MAY FADE, BUT THE MEMORIES WILL LAST FOREVER.

I NEED VITAMIN “SEA”

FLIP FLOPS ARE THE GLASS SLIPPERS OF THE SOUTH

AN OCEAN BREEZE PUTS A MIND AT EASE

BE A MERMAID AND MAKE WAVES

MERMAID KISSES AND STARFISH WISHES

IN AN OCEAN FULL OF FISH BE A MERMAID

SEE THE SEA HORSE IN THE SEA, WHERE ELSE WOULD THE SEA HORSE BE? FOR THOUGH IT’S DAINTY AS A WISH, THE SEA HORSE IS, YOU SEE, A FISH.

CABANA: A CABIN OR HUT AT THE BEACH

MERMAIDS DON’T LOSE SLEEP OVER THE OPINIONS OF SHRIMP

YOU’RE THE ONLY FISH IN THE SEA FOR ME

THE OCEAN WAS WAVING, SO I WAVED BACK

MERMAID, A WOMAN WHO CHOOSES IMAGINATION OVER FEAR

THEY KEPT ALL THE PEARLS BECAUSE THEY WERE VERY SHELLFISH

A HUGE THANK YOU TO NANA AND GIGI!

    Just met you today in the SARO showroom. Thanks you for using the chain flat ware, it looks great! You are so darn creative. I LOVE the sentiments with the pictures!!! Enjoyed meeting you and will follow you!

  • Twinda (Nana) says:

    I know I’ve said this before….. but, this is my favorite. My love of the cobalt blue glass never seems to fade. It is so special for me to see what can be done with the boxes I’ve collected for so many years. And, Janice you are the perfect person to do it justice. I was only able to display a small portion of the collection and the rest was just stored in boxes. All the years while we were going to yard sales, I’d spot the blue before we even got out of the car or you would grab any you saw ahead of me. I HAD to have it all. Your SHIP chandelier is unbelievable and I’m so happy for you that you were able to find it. Your beautiful kitchen is a perfect setting for such a treasure. There are so many neat touches like mermaids, fish, undersea plants and billowing curtains. Love,love,love!
