I'm not a collector per sec, but I do have a lot of sea shells in my home. I use them as a theme in my bathroom. Maybe its because I miss the beach so much. I currently live in a climate that has four seasons and too many of them are COLD.
You won't find shells on my beach blanket. You'll know it's mine when you see a good book, suntan lotion, sunglasses, and a cold drink. Love lying on the beach, the waves, the sun....all of it!
