Sea Chest

When I  found this wooden box at the thrift store it was in rough shape.  So after applying a quick wash of paint, a little wood putty, and replacing a missing hinge it was ready to hold some treasures. 

It used to have an additional line that read "A Place for Everything, and Everything in it's Place" but I erased it with my paintbrush.   I like it better this way. 

I admit I have sea glass scattered all over the house wherever I happen to empty my pockets.

Because when we're out walking I usually spot at least one more treasure to bring home.   

Ta da! So isn't this the perfect place to stash my sea glass?

 All sorted out by color too!    

And take a look at this cool print that is underneath the lid.  

My $3 sea chest filled with gifts from the sea.    

One last shot of my pretty little treasures.    

Treasures that the Captain may have never even thought to keep.
