Hi Maya,

I love decorating with shells...they are little works of art. Your blog is great!

The possibilities are endless! I have some in a glass jar, some on a small antique pewter plate, and some in a wooden pedestal bowl. No room in my house is complete without a shell or two!

Those shells are lovely. When I was out in San Diego last fall, there was an entire wall of shell, each divided into its own little individual sandscape in the airport of all places! How great to show that idea for accessories.

I just (finally!!) took all of my Christmas ornaments out of the glass jars around the house so time to break out the shells again. Maybe it'll warm me up to have a piece of the beach back in the house (brrrr! it's cold at the shore house...)

Beautiful webpage....great style. So many websites dedicated to decorating with shells are tacky. Yours is just what appeals to me.

Lovely photos. Shells always add a nice detail to interior.

I have a shell collection my Mom started in the 30's. The most important ones to us I keep on a open shelf in my china cabniet. It has her shells, a photo of her at Big Sur in the 40's, and driftwood pieces she collected. I paired them with my own collection of shells from the 60's forward with photographs I took of the oceans I visit. I am soon to go to Pottery Barn to purchase the large jar for my coastal living room for the large shells to display. The look I want is with sand, her shells and a photo of her walking on a beach. Beauitful!
