How pirates do decor - my beautiful gift

I won a blog giveaway done by Annabelle at The Wood Beyond The World and guess what I got in the mail yesterday?
I was too impatient to wait for good lighting to photograph everything so the color on this one is funky.

 I just love the pretty blue paper and shimmery ribbon she used.

Does that tea not sound divine? And she included a lovely card.


Inside was the most gorgeous, magical thing I think I've ever seen - one of her bottle creations.


Look at this beautiful detailing and sparkle! And I love the delicate translucent shell.


Even a dangling crystal. And see the sand and shell inside?


Because of my nickname Molly the Pirate [ yes it is totally juvenile and no I won't give it up! ;) ]  I have amassed something of a nautical-themed book collection and a few accessories to match. Please tell me I'm not the only one who decorates a bookshelf?


Just look how perfect this gorgeous bottle fits in! I feel like some kind of pirate queen who found the ultimate treasure.

Anna - your talent is incredible! And matched only by your generosity. This treasure has found a very happy home.

    Don't worry you are not the only one! I have quite a sizable collection of pirate/tropical/nautical books and many decor items as well. That bottle is AMAZING!

    Molly ,

    Thanks so much for the lovely post ; so happy it made it safely to your home. I think it looks purfectly happy where you placed it amongst the old pirate books and chest. And don't think for a moment that your name is silly, I luv using Annabelle because I adore Poe, the sea and of course hubby gave me the nick name. And if I had a bookshelf I'd do the same...... your bookshelf looks .....loike a poirate's, arrr...haha.
