This lovely little piece brings a bit of the seaside right into your home. It is a flat, shallow shape that is perfect for keeping those small things from getting lost. You could paint it with soft, watery blues and greens to match the ocean, or maybe go for a clean white with a shiny gold edge to make it look a bit more elegant. For something fun, try adding some tiny colorful dots or a marbled pattern. It is the ideal size for your nightstand to hold your favorite rings and earrings at the end of the day. You could also use it in the hallway for your keys or even in the bathroom for a special bar of soap. It makes a thoughtful handmade gift for a friend who loves the beach or anyone who needs a pretty spot to tidy up their small treasures.
