Beachy Sea Horse Hooks

I love being able to craft while we are camping in our motor home!  To me creating is like breathing, I need to do it!  And I am happiest while I am working on projects.  
So I thought I'd share with you my latest creation, that I just finished.
Aren't these sea horse hooks just adorable?  They are made of wrought iron.  I painted them each a different beachy color, ranging from aquamarine to turquoise to light blue.  Then I distressed them a bit to give them time worn charm.  I am in love with these gorgeous colors!
 Sure wish that I'd taken a before shot of the wood board that I mounted them on.
(well, my handy hubby actually mounted them for me!) 
It began life as a dark wood finished and very country-ish (as in 1980's country!) plaque!
It had been hand painted with little Amish girls, and was definitely not what I had in mind!
I could hardly wait to transform it with this pretty light blue.
Here is a close up of the sea horses.
I think they are just so darn cute!
I've added it to my Etsy shop if you want to take a peek.
I am keeping a smaller version of my shop open while we are here in Savannah.

Next time I'll be sure to share with you pics of some of the pretty scenes around downtown historic Savannah!

    This is darling! It would look perfect at the lakehouse. I'm getting really "beachy" there.

    I hope you are having a good trip. Were you in Savannah recently? If so, I can certainly see why you're back, we loved it!

    Hi Donna! I love the seahorse plaque! It looks great! Where did you find the seahorses? I too, love to craft when we go camping! That is, if we are on a laid back camping trip. I can hardly wait for the temps to warm up so we can hit the road! Thanks for sharing! Blessings from Bama!

    Donna,
    Very Beachy adorable. Your creation is fun. I can see that with beach bags and a coverup in a seaside home. I have a fascination with Seahorses and your's are really pretty.
