We go to California every summer. We stay for a few weeks in July. One of our
favorite things to do while we are there aside from all the beach activities is
collect shells. I say aside from the beach activities because we do our shell
collecting at the local antique shops. Our favorite is King and Co. for those of
you that are in the area. It is downtown La Jolla Ca. and it is the most beautiful
shop. The tray these shells are on also came from this shop. It is 19th century
Italian and has the most wonderful patina. There is some damage on the top of
the tray so I thought it would be perfect for this display. A friend of mine sent
me a few new shells the other day so I tweaked the arrangement a little and
thought I would share it with you. I love the tiny black and white shells for the
base. They are so cute. I love how it turned out.
I hope everyone had a wonderful week!!!
Lots of Love!!!

Cathy, I am blessed to have you as a friend. I treasure your friendship. I lived in El Cajon & Springvalley. I moved out there in 1972.
I don't remember if I told you, my daughter and grandkids live in Texas. They are close to FT. Hood.
I didn't know you could buy shells at antique shops! I love the arrangement!

Cathy,
Everything you do is fabulous, and I don’t say that lightly! What a pretty set up and also a happy memory from your trip. I am getting back into the swing of blog life since my vacation. I am getting caught up on grocery shopping, laundry and work, but it was fun to visit family and time passed much to quickly. Thank you for your kind comments on my last post, it was the perfect welcome home. ~Cathy~
