As I combed the beach early this morning\u00a0at low tide, I found a beautiful brown inside shell of an old coconut washed ashore.<\/p>\n

As I picked it up, I could feel\u00a0sea water spilling out of the hole\u00a0so I held it upside down to drain\u00a0the coconut of everything inside. Ohhhh. Cool BEACH BLING<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aha! This could be an awesome flower vase! When I got home, I rinsed it inside and out with fresh water then cut some leaves and flowers from my yard. I filled it with fresh water, arranged my cuttings in the opening, then placed some miniature shells on an art-glass plate to keep it from rolling. Voila! A naturally beautiful coconut flower vase.<\/p>\n

It was so nice to meet you this bright beautiful morning Becky!<\/p>\n
