I have a friend who has a beautiful cottage with blue and white everything. There are other colors in her home but blue and white is the dominant theme. Every time I looked at the miniature tea set I had sitting on my kitchen window sill I would think of her. And since my dishwasher broke recently I had a lot of time to look. It was as though the set was calling to her home.
So when her birthday came I had an idea. Maybe I could add the tea cups and the platter and the mini tea-pot itself into a wind chime. So that’s what I did. I got a white rock from her beach, drift wood from mine as well as some sea glass and pottery shards from Massachusetts. I wire wrapped the sea glass and the shards (in case they want to be free later) and the only thing I super glued was the pottery pieces to the drift wood.
If you love someone who has a special fondness for trains or clothes or dolls or a shells, I recommend bringing some of those items into a wind chime. It personalizes something with so much natural beauty and makes it a worthy gift.
