Coastal Nest, being a beach lover, has been collecting shells since I was ever able to go out to the beach. I remember very clearly being a tiny girl, going out to the beach with my grama and grampa Metke and finding sand dollars all along the shoreline, running from the waves with them and just enjoying the ocean, or going clam diggin with my dear daddy and finding lots of things besides clams..
The seashell is such a great little piece of art.
Alone, or together.
planned, in a shell wreath, or just thrown in a bowl or basket.
My children, along with my hubby and I love to scour the beach. We have found amazing things on the shoreline.
This oyster candelabra was at the shop, it was incredible and gorgeous, natural, nautical rustic and very pretty.
It went quickly. No duh, I am sure the owner is enjoying it immensely.
I read in one of the retailer magazines that "shell" decorating is

hmmm. If this is true, I will cease to exist..
Not so sure I can agree with that statement, I am still in love with the seashell and all it entails- and think its a great way to decorate.

Happy Monday, people..

I love shells, and I think they'll always be "in" for the beach.
I don't care if its out according to "them", I love shells and have tons of them in the tub, in the powder room, in other rooms in the house--they are organic, REAL, and never can go out of style.
Shell decorating is never out. I love all the pictures.
Oh I am in love. I couled look at that sea picture all day~ Hope your week started out great.

How could shells ever go out of style, especially the way you display them. They are beautiful naturally, but all of the different ways you showcase them, makes them even more unique and fascinating. I really like that wooden shelf with all of the finds from the beach displayed on it.
I'm so ready for hot weather!!!! and the beach!!!!
thanks for the comment!!

It's IN with me. I love shells and rocks and natural things.
My house is littered with shell collection, it is classic and will NEVER go out of style! I have bowls of it, apocathary jars filled with them...and vase's filled with sandollars. I LONG to take my children to the beach, so they can collect their own shells!
I'm with you on the sand-dollar collecting. I used to do that as a little girl too, but up here in BC.
I love nature indoors, especially seashells!
I got a new POOOOOOOOOOOST! :)
Bah humbug to the Retailer magazines Lisa! A few years ago, MOTH & I made a very big life-changeing decision while walking on the beach. We also collected shells on that walk & put them in a bowl which has now become the Good Luck Bowl, as that decision has brought us much joy & happiness!
Any time the kids are going through a challenging patch, I give them a shell from the bowl & let it weave its magic for them too.

I came across a quote today that goes something like this: If you love something, it never goes out of style..., so shell collecting and decorating will always be fashionable for us beach enthusiasts!
