Show me the Ropes -or should I say Lines

There has always been rope on boats..., referred to as lines by boating experts. It's another way of creating nautical ambiance in your home. For more information and purchase, please click on images.

Hi there..
I actually made those candle holders a long time ago! It's so funny how things come and go! I think the idea was somewhere in a Martha Stewart book or magazine!! I love all the rope projects! So beachy and so simple!

Ooo and that rope mat!

I love the rope votives. So cute!

You have given me an idea for some very plain and boring glass wear I have, but never use as glasses but rather i shove candles in them. I am going to turn them into some very nice little laterns using some thin rope or thick string.
Thanks for that, much love
