……………………..Above, is a marvelous book called……..”THE SHELL” by Hugh and Marguerite Stix, and R. Tucker Abbott….photography by H. Landshoff………It is truly amazing and has been a source of inspiration for me for many many years…….”Sea Shells have enchanted mankind, apparently, as far back as human records go. Small wonder that people have always found pleasure in owning them, and artists and craftsmen have incorporated them in everything ranging from massive architecture to personal jewelry. Today the passion for shell collecting is greater than ever, and all over the world the fraternity of shell collectors grows.” ……Sea shells are a very special and unique gift of nature…..Shells have been used in every way possible, and for centuries have even been used as musical instruments…..They appear in some of the most famous paintings ever done by some of the most renown artists…like Rubens and Botticelli…to name just two. I too have collected shells over the years, and above are two glass bowls filled with my beautiful shells………For this Spring /Summer I will be bringing to you a great variety of “shell” jewelry……The first is the “TIGER COWIE” necklace which is avail. now……………….enjoy………………………..much Love……………………….Louis

Louis,
Your post about seashells prompted me to send one of my favorite quotes. I too love shells, and have collected them from travels throughout my life. I display them in a beautiful large apothecary jar. “Seashells remind us that every passing life leaves something beautiful behind.”

Donna….thank you for the lovely quote….it’s so true, and it’s wonderful to see these thoughts put into words for everyone to enjoy and think about.
This is music to my ears, Louis (and obviously, to my eyes as well). Bring on the shells!
How exciting! I Love shells and shell motifs! Thank you!!
