Nautical Accessories

Ever been dragged into a shop with your partner?


I managed to find something for myself in a sea of incense, tablecloths, pretty mirrors, lace, etc, etc. $10 the lot :) The colours didn't do much for me though, what do you reckon? A bit too much pastel? 



Always wanted a lighthouse



The fishing smacks are just for looks, no self-respecting old-salt-dog (yeah, that's you Col) or marine would go near em :)


You can never have too much scenery!

    Great find Mate! They may only be Fishing Smacks but they are First Rate! (Nautical reference!).
    Cheers

      Being a babe does not excuse you from making positive comments about pastel, I may have to have you blocked! :):)

    Fine discovery
    Small lighthouse islet and harbor-area looks good

      ;) Pastel shades belong to the bedroom, not much even there...

    Away all boats! Great stuff, Al. I converted one of those fishing boats into a tramp steamer for use in Pulp Adventures.

    Good haul at a great price. Well done! Does this mean you'll go shopping with her more often?!

    That's surely the sign of a great commander that you can find a positive in a bad situation, respect!
