Organizing Your Sea Collections in Glass Cabinets

If you happen to have large sea collections (from all the beaches you've been too), organizing them in glass cabinets could be a great choice. Just look at these beautiful examples of glass cabinets with sea collections in them!

And also previously featured, Shell Displays at Coquillage Cottage. My sea collections of shells and driftwood are not quite large enough to fill an entire cabinet just yet. What about yours?

I love this arrangements! How elegant! I was in the garage washing my seashells this morning when my neighbor came by and she asked me where I put them all! I showed her a couple of trays and bowls of shells and when I looked around I noticed they were everywhere! heehee! But I love them and enjoy having them in every room! Hugs! ♥

These are beautiful. I think my favorite is the first one. I think I could maybe fill half of one of these. I need more big ones for sure! :)

What a cool post! I have been so busy this week, I haven't had a chance to get caught up on your blog. Might have to "pin" a few more of these ideas.

Have a great weekend Maya!
