Ocean “Art”
I love reading about what Kara Noel loves and collects.
I don’t really think of myself as collecting much of anything. Looking around my house – two things are clear. I love the ocean. I don’t like to spend money. There’s the framed Bed, Bath & Beyond paintings which I’m sure I got on sale and with the 20% off coupon that comes in the mail. The carpet is nautical navy. The walls are the color of sandcastles. Our throw pillows display surfboards and palm trees.
So this is the latest in my cheap art collection:
My daughter and I picked this $19.95 gem at the Sea Life Aquarium gift shop. We both loved it. It makes me happy to look at my mermaid muse. I love it when my hair swirls like that in the water. The barnacles on her sandy flipper. It makes me so much happier than those $2 pencils or $5 Beanie Baby dolphins. My daughter loves her, too.
Now I just need to get a frame for the print I got of this mosaic on the floor of the Imiloa Astronomy Center in Hawaii:
I’ll probably use that 40% off coupon from Michael’s.
Michele Whiteaker is obsessed with parks because most of them are free. Check out her Fun Orange County Parks blog to discover playgrounds with views of the Pacific.
