Seashell Trinket Treasure tray

I had these left over shell bowls
from the ball
not to mention,
but will,
all those damn
Mardi Gras beads!

 
What the hell am I supposed to do with them?

Then I decided, Hey, why not make a Trinkets Tray.

Supplies:
*************
Resin
Decorative plastic Sea Shell
Plastic Beads, assorted;
Large White Beads for the "pearl", cut 1 from strand
Decorative Rocks, plastic or glass
Star beads/sequins/charms
GLiTTeR
Glue

First thing to do is fill the bottom.

Toss your Decorative Rocks in,

and mix up your Resin.

Once the Resin is ready,

pour over the rocks to just cover them.

I had a few bumps where the resin didn't 

quite cover and it was fine.

Not enough ~ just mix a bit more

Too much ~ make up a few pendants

I also poured a bit of resin the seam 

of the two Shells to secure it.

Sprinkle just a wee bit of GLiTTer in.

Depending on what type resin you use,

around 10 to 15 minutes,

check the set.

Remember the Prell commercial where they put the pearl in it?

you want that kind of thick.

Set your Stars and your Pearl in the resin.

Sprinkle a wee bit more GLiTTer on the resin.

Once the Resin has completely cured/dried,

start gluing your Decorative Beads for trim.

I used one strand of Pink for the upper Shell

and cut three strands of Gold for the seam.

ah, Cher', you've got a treasure!

Priscilla's Earthly Delights

Back in the late 80s and early 90s 

I was BIG on blazers, jackets, coats...

My mom even made me a hot pink 

Rod Stewart type blazer in high school; 

it was so cool.

From smart ass buttons on my ski jacket 

to replicas of antique safty/brooch pins,

I love to decorate my coats as much as my house!

This double pin set really caught my attention. 

I eyed it,

looked at it, 

favorited it for a long time.

And then I bought it.

It's to different. 

and I really like the fact that it's two pieces, 

then I can kind of, switch em around

or wear them separately,  

My purple Mystery coat would be the perfect back drop.

or maybe my BB Dakota swing coat...

I can always wear
my fancy combat boots to soften it a bit.

Passage to India restaurant

 As per our usual road tripp quirks, 

we found an Indian restaurant across the street from our condo.

I ordered my usual Lamb Curry and Gulab juman.

Delicious.

Bit different on the flavor front of my favorite Indian restaurant here at home, 

reasonably priced,

and decent servings. 

The gulab juman was heavier on the syrup,

just add a cup of coffee 

and you have the perfect amount of sweetness

for dessert.

Yes, yes, I recommend Passage to India.

Be sure to google them,

they have a few different locations

and online menu.

Two SiSters Mary Thoughts for the Day ~ March

 "Dream as if you'll Live forever,

Live as if you'll die today."

~ James Dean

Priscilla's Earthly Delights

 This was my cheesy tourist souvenir from Disney World.

a Vinylmation Bag.

I had been on the hunt for a decent bag for my bike,

and this seems to be the one.

Its vinyl which is great for outdoors,

It's simple ~ large inside pouch, small front pouch, medium back pouch.

Nice long strap.

Besides, I am totally into the graphics.

 This vinylmotion key chain was lagniappe!

Micky in Green.

 ahhhh....a perfect fit.

Ahhh, the Pisces.
The Mermaid who wants to be a Human.
The dilemma.

No dilemma here with these treasures~
Whether Mermaid, or Princess
you can't go wrong with these Beauties.

This whymsical print
would be lovely

hanging above
my claw foot tub; 

all dreamy and such.

What Mermaid Princess 

wouldn't look gorgeous 

in this Sea Blue Gown.

 

Accessorize with this Enchanting bracelet and Moonstone ring,
well, Poseidon himself may ask for a dance.
The bracelet is one of the most imaginative I've seen
in a long time!
I have a lovely affection for mOOnstone, even being the
stone in my engagement ring.

Here! Here!

The sparkalicious Mary Janes speak for themselves.

Like millions of Stars, sparkling off the sea water.

Venus herself has a pair.

 
oh my~ a Mermaid of a different Adventure.
My kind of Chic!
There to remind me, it's alllll in the Attitude.

Whether it holds your Treasures,
or your favorite cake and cuppa,
this plate really is beautiful.

 For my cat, Mischief.

If she had pierced ears.

Or, for a Human, with jeans and a t~shirt....

MGM / Hollywood Studios

 MGM now known as Disney's Hollywood Studios

{Universal is still a separate entity}

is small and mostly shopping and restaurants.

We went for the Indiana Jones show

The Muppets 3 D Theater

and 

The Star Wars ride.

No Star Wars ride.

They are changing it up or something.

 ABC Commissary ~ recommend for Lunch/Dinner

The Fish plate was really good.

 Indiana and Marion doing their thing.

The Womb Weebles really had a "blast" at this show.

This is the only reason I came to this park.

The freakin Muppets!

{no flash photography please}

 Funnel Cake ~ a piece of Heaven right there in your lap...

on your lap,

your clothes,

your face

your hair...

I knew the minute we entered the park,

that this was how I was going to end my day.

and I did.

disney World Magic Kingdom

Great fantastical Tripp.

We started to the left,

and didn't finish til we were right.

We  felt the best time was in late afternoon

and close the park down at Midnight.

The crowds are most definitely heaviest from 11:30 to about 3 or 4pm.
Add the battle between the Strollers and Electric scooters,
and it can get pretty hectic.

Fast Pass really is worth it. 

It allows you to "reserve" a space in line 

by giving you a choice between two times to come back.

And you get in the really really short line.

While waiting, you can go do other things.

You can only do one fast pass at a time.

If you do get there for breakfast,

I recommend the Main Street Bakery.

Pecos' Bill's restaurant recommended  for lunch or dinner~
great food, decent prices

 I wouldn't recommend going on the 

Big Thunder Mountain runaway train ride after

 Before...allll you want to.

Hidden residents of Magic Kingdom

 Who wouldn't want to live in the Robinson tree house??

She wore her Pirate shirt for the Pirate ride.

He was just along for the ride...

 Many many parades.....many.

Are we there yet??
