Beach Shells


Every time I go to a beach, I pick up a few shells
These have been collected from Cape Cod, Palm Beach, The Gulf , The Canary Islands, St Thomas, Turks and Caicos,
Bermuda, Bahamas, St Martin, Puerto Rico, Japan, Maine, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, Alaska, California, Canada,
This winter I will add shells from Jamaica, Cancun, Cozumel and Haiti

    I wish my friends would bring me some shells when they vacation at the beach. Your collection is wonderful in all your white containers. I actually asked my gal pal to look for sea glass while she in on the beach in NC this week. Hope she finds some for me.

    I love all the shells. They look fabulous in the milk glass!
    I bet you have some great memories of all those trips every time you look at the shells.
    Have a wonderful weekend.
