A 'seaside corner' has already been established in our living room. Take a peek...
These whales were made from patterns in the book:
I couldn't stop at making just one. My daughter requested the larger size with striped fabric, and I kept on making more in my favorite blue and white palette...
Seashells and the book "A Gift from the Sea" (listed in my Etsy store along with this crochet piece) enhance the vignette.
A seashell wreath I made several years ago completes the seaside corner:
Nearby I added this large vintage bowl scored at my local thrift store. I love the floral pattern!
Here is the cover of my Tilda book:
Soothing, seaside cottage feel inside its' pages...
Next I would love to make this sailboat applique onto a white coverlet. I'll have to wait when my time allows such an ambitious project:
I'll leave you with a collection of seashells on our mantel. Hope you're enjoying your summer and it includes a visit to the sea, listening to the soothing sound of the waves!

I love your sea shell corner, Susan! And your whales are just charming, the fabrics you used are perfect! The book sounds so neat, I love her style!
The whales are so sweet Susan. I've got Tilda's Seaside Collection in stock now and it is really lovely. The scrapbook paper pad is just gorgeous too. I'm just eaiting for our weather to warm up so I can add some Tilda seaside décor too.
Your seaside decoration is beautiful and I love the soft shades you used. The whales turned out just adorable.
You are so clever Susan! I will have to check out that book. It looks yummy!
