SHELL mirrors & Richard Abbot's ART

Lobsters, Crabs, Shells + friend's




My Richard Abbot lobster is by far, one of my favorite treasures. When we lived on the East Coast we'd vacation in Maine. My best friend Laura and I would head out in her vintage car(s) to the Brunswick Farmer's Market and that's when I fell in love with Richard's art :) 

Laura & I off to the Farmer's Market....



Did you happen notice this bag hanging in the bathroom mirror?

Thank you Erin for your chic birthday gift! It hangs on the closet doorknob so that I can see it as soon as I walk into the house :)


I just picked up this rug at TJ Maxx for $10 bucks. I love that it's washable and VERY nautical. It fits the space just perfectly. The best part of all is that Laura bought one too at a Maine TJ Maxx. I couldn't believe it when she told me.


Here is Laura:) Aren't those glasses hip! Laura's most recent interior design job is for a gentleman who builds boats.  She is very very talented with color, layout, space and true New England design. I just cannot wait to see the AFTER shots. Please email me if you would like Laura Lienert's contact information. She may be doing a law office now along with the shipbuilder's home, but the shipbuilder's home sounds much more appealing to me.... Laura please take pictures so that I can show everyone - K :)

If only I lived in MAINE I could be Laura's assistant....oh that's another story for another day....



My 12x12 crab  - by Richard Abbot of Windsor, Maine.

He sits on the wall to the right of our sink. You can him crawling up the wall in the picture below. 
If you own a home near the water, Richard's clay sculpture's are a great addition to any indoor or outdoor space. 

I happened upon them at the Brunswick, Maine Farmer's Market many years ago, as mentioned above. It's close to Freeport, Maine if you are a
L.L. Bean fan. 

I got a 'wheel of a steal of a deal' on this mirror. My guess is because the shells kept breaking off TJ Maxx just wanted to get rid of it. They sold it to me for $14. I still can't believe it..... Thanks, Felix.







Speaking of LL Bean, above is a recent purchase. These look great on me and were found on the LL Bean on the Signature site. on SALE :) oh lala. 



Soon after buying the mirror above I saw this one. It went like 'hot cakes'. I had my eye on it, but it was sold in an instant, for a mere $229 ish.

~~~I'm pretty sure I was a mermaid in my last life ~~~
Very fancy! HEYLAND & WHITTLE - I have a vast collection of candles and bath balls.... Thank you Erin for introducing me to H&W...
