Shells, with their memories of joyful summers at the beach,
have enchanted us since the beginning of time.
Treasures of the sea, shells add a touch of seaside elegance to any room.
And summer time is the perfect time to add something beautiful to your collection!
I love finding antique pieces with shell motifs!
These mementoes of the ocean have a quiet, understated beauty,
and bring us sweet memories of fun, relaxing days spent at the ocean.

Curvaceous and graceful, shell covered antiques or decorative antiques with a shell theme

I hope you bring your shells out to decorate with for this season,
nothing brings back memories of sand, and sea more beautifully!

So pretty and peaceful. The Captain and I just got back from collecting sea shells at a beach near us and I love to imagine where they have been. Seeing them on pretty pitchers is a way to keep those memories alive. Thanks for sharing Lidy. Have a great day.
