• Shells

  I put the shells, that I showed in my last post, in some small canning jars and in another round container that would fit on my shelf -

                                       

  I kept trying to get a shot of them without the "halo" glow from the lids, with and without the lights of the kitchen on.  That was the best one!  Where are you, Cheryl, when I need you?    She isn't here to tell me how to do this, so you'll have to put up with the glow!  The bottle in the center is the one she sent from Puerto Rico. 

                                       

                                       

  The larger shells, I put on a glass pie plate, first, surrounding a candle in the center, but when having that sit on my counter awhile was starting up a headache, I switched to a mini pumpkin I had -

                                       

  My sister-in-law suggested that I put the candle out on my screened in porch overnight to see if the scent is as strong tomorrow.  I have done that, so, we'll see.

  I might play with these shells and their display some more, but this will do for now.   Tomorrow night is the beginning of our church missions conference, and we often have the missionaries and the missions committee here for that first evening.  That is what we are doing tomorrow night!  There should be around 30 people here, with the members of the missions committee bringing the food.

  That pie pan of shells will be one of the centerpieces. 

  Here is the whole canning shelf -

                                        

  We need to make more applesauce!  That will be next week's project!
