So I started with one of my 1960's vintage Haeger pieces.....
Some juniper stems...
Spices....
And some of my prized collection of tiny shells.... the first ones... I collected on the beach in Punta Mita, Mexico.. (the little tiney cowrie shells are my favorite)
And these little teeny tiny shells I purchased in a antique shop...the box says LaJolla Beach , 1929. I treasure these little shells...some are so perfect and miniature.
I love how this came out...and it smells delicious. It is a nice way to appreciate my tiny shell collection.

What a great idea. It really IS hard to showcase small objects like shells, etc. They just seem to get lost...and yet, there is so much beauty in tiny things. I LOVE those old shells from the antique store. What a fun find! Hugs-Diana
Perfection! I can smell the anise...mmmm.
Very cool... very clever idea!
Oh this is completely gorgeous, Debbie!!! And how fun to make and use special shell treasures...it is so beautiful and I love the dish--wow!! It is exquisite.
Merry Christmas!!!!!

What beautiful shells, Debbie! I especially love the ones (I wish I could think of their name!) that look like little paws! I bet your arrangement smells wonderful!
It looks beautiful and I'm sure it smells great! I went look for some whole cloves and star anise and the store was out of them! I will search again tomorrow.
Precious little minis, & using the spices is a stroke of genius. And the star anise is so pretty to boot :-)
