In my house there is….”the sea”…..when I think of the sea I think of mermaids and seashells
I used another one of my .75 inch thick (1,9 cm) wooden house shapes, shells from Florida along with the perfect little seahorse and starfish from Lanise
I also used a few bits of dried ferns and leaves from my flower press. Be sure and visit Dans ma maison to see more sea creations, you too can join in the sea challenge.
*************
I had an involuntary break from blogging and other computer doings these past three days, the computer was misbehaving badly and patient Mr Magpie had to reload everything onto a new drive (not that I really understand anything about that….just want things to work….and it seemed to take forever)….that said I DID get a lot of cooking done 
I am happy to be back !

Beautiful, evocative house.
Glad you’re back – it’s like losing an arm and a leg when the pc isn’t working isn’t it. Sad, but true!

So glad you kept Mr. Magpie well fed! May you always have a sea shell and a little sand between your toes, dear friend.

good to have you back, Patty! : )
when it comes to “hardware” I’m also a mess, good I have friends who know more about that stuff. Still, my mobile phone (or is it “cell phone”?) died and it can’t be repared, sigh
