So when your BBB (Best Bloggin Buddy) makes an IKEA trip what do you get?? Why lanterns of course! Read all about it on The Shabby Chic Cottage. Now don't we all need a BBB like that??
White starfish in a lantern = heavenly... A great summer "filler" is starfish and seashells. Makes you feel all beachy and summery. (Are either of those even words??) Keeping with this summer decor theme...
Feeling beachy and summery already.
(Many thanks to a special friend for the shells!)
For my other BBB lantern I did something a little different...
Eggs in a lantern?? Why not??
Placing that first lantern on my mantel-less mantel...
(yes..I changed it already)
Where do you use shells and starfish in your decor? And don't we all need a BBB like Gina?

I love lanterns and starfish are a good filler. I have old bowls of shells and starfish in a guest room.

Your not-mantle looks great! I love decorating with shells & starfish, too - they're everywhere! =)
Such cute vignettes! I've actually never been to IKEA but I hear so much about it maybe I need to take a vacation somewhere just to find one.... Nice job :)

Awesome! And I'm so jealous of your BBB!
So beautiful. Everything looks fabulous!
Oh wow! I have a huge vase from IKEA and it would be PERFECT filled with starfish and shells!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the starfish lantern! (I have a lantern fetish at the moment, and might just have to copy that idea!) Thanks!!
That starfish in the lantern looks great....I always add a few vintage sequins or other pieces of vintage to my starfish! Great photos! I love your blog!
How fun! I just got out my lanterns last week.... thanks for the idea to fill them with fun summer stuff... Off to hunt for some goodies!

How crazy is this? I just got a latern from the local Goodwill for $2! Gonna add some startfish (thanks for the idea) and make a cute little show piece for the bathroom!
I love lanterns. I have a couple and would love more! Of course. Thanks for sharing.
Love your ideas! Lanterns and shells speak to my heart, that's for sure!
Looks great! I love the lanterns too! I also love summer! :)
Angie: Love the ideas for the lanterns and jars (and how you made those apothecary jars too)! Thanks for commenting on my craft area too!
Girl - you never cease to amaze me! I love your ideas and creativity.

I adore Ikea and have several of their lanterns. Your fillers are perfect and your entire vignette lovely! Thanks so much for linking up!
Love me some IKEA! :) I love your lanterns, Angie. I don't have any starfish (yet), but I do like to use sea shells when summer comes to Virginia. :) Visiting from Beth's "Vignette" party. :)
I love the pop of red on the little pedestal and your big tin star. I'd really like to find one of those for my front door. Thanks for taking time to leave a comment on my vignette post! :)
So pretty -- all of it! And I am SO ready to see some beachy and summery things (and yes those ARE words. I insist!).
thanks for sharing... Cass
Love all the beachy accents, but you know I'm a sucker for anything coastal! I have that EXACT little silver lantern! I'm going to have to try the egg idea! Too cute!
