Show off your shells! Depending on your perspective I have good news or bad news. For those who love this time of year, summer is only half over....according to the calender, about
7 weeks left. For those of you who are sick of it and ready for fall....hang in there! For both, dig around your house and through your beach bags...or shop for sales at favorite stores for seashells and display them around your house!
On our dining room table I have a large shallow iridescent bowl I display mostly starfish and a few others that I just like the color:
This grouping includes the small brown starfish my daughter found while on vacation in June:
For years I have collected these black & gray shells...beautiful!
I have had this silver compote forever...and I am sure I didn't pay more than $10. I don't think I've ever cleaned it so well or even noticed the 1902 date on the bottom:
It's perfect for displaying these shells a friend brought back from Costa Rica:
Most of us have seen shells displayed in apothecary jars. Mine is filled with both purchased and found shells:
Tip: Don't forget to clean the jar first with my favorite glass cleaner I talked about
here.
And, I have found the best way to get shells in a narrow jar without smudges and fingerprints is to wear these:
This 3 tier tray is usually used for food items....but it works great as a portable shell display:
All of the sand dollars were collected by my husband and children last year on vacation.
Sea shells are one decorative accessory that look good in every room of the house! So, put some out and enjoy the rest of summer!!!
