she sells seashells





Seashells



With Summah a faraway memory, and I do not see her coming back for a while. I stumbled on a website that I had ear marked for a later date. I have shells from Mexico, Florida and the California coast in various bowls, platters and crystal vases around the house.

I am thinking I may have a project to work on over the fall and winter this year. At Heather Kendall Designs, the sea shell has gone to great lengths to do more than sit beside the seashore.
Many interesting and great looking home and decorative items for designing with these natural works of art.



I can almost hear the sounds of glue guns and shells going to work to make something special out of those collected items and fond memories from the Summah.

 What a great way to use those memories and create a one of a kind piece of artwork for your home.









 A bust adorned with sea shells.







This cross base is encrusted with shells and treasures from the sea.







A sconce that is illuminated with pearly white shells and tiny jewels from the sea. What a great way to change an existing fixture or add to that beach house or seaside shore home?








A shady alternative to an everyday lighting fixture. Imagine the possibilities with adding shells to a shade in a single or many chandelier pieces.







An interesting shelf or place to highlight a shore themed hallway or bath. I like the coral and shell mixed theme here. A great way to highlight a special piece or something to place up high or in a place of prominence.






These bottles are topped with sea shells that are a little larger in size and scale.

 I like them as pieces of art from Blue Creek Home.

Thanks Renee;
I had bookmarked this a while ago.
Looking at my pile of shells collected over the summer, I remembered her site.
I may have my work cut out for me!

Reggie adores seashells and has been collecting them for as long as he can remember. During the early part of the 19th century there was craze for seashells in the New Republic, known as "Shell Mania." In honor of that, he decorates the mantle in the dining room of his Federal house every summer in the manner favored at the time.

This was a lovely post!
