Do you ever walk on the beach and collect shells?

we have a huge fish tank and whenever we see some we put em in there
its also a great bonding time with the kids
My DD gets excited when she sees her shells in there

I do!! I also keep them in jars. We live on a peninsula, so practically surrounded by ocean, and I love to collect shells, sand dollars and sea glass. I will admit that I don't know anything about them, I just put them in jars as you do, and sit them around the house. My father in law was a very knowledgeable collector, and when we lost him a couple of years ago, we got his collection which is now in boxes in our garage. We know that many of them are important, but don't know enough about them. I'm planning on doing some research, and making a collection for each of our sons.....and then.....well, we'll see, it's a LOT of shells!!!

At this point every time I pick up a shell my husband or a son hollers...."NO please, not another shell!!!"

either that or u can create a theme for the bathroom with the shells =)

I still do it but mainly collect sea glass at glass beach in Fort Bragg, California.

i still do i am helping my cousin start his collection and i plan to do it with my son when he's older

Yep, I always keep a few from every beach I visit. I've even made jewelry out of them before.

That would be hard to do in Missouri! I did when I went to Hawaii. I love to decorate with shells, my bathroom is decorated with shells and lighthouses.

I just picked some shells this year with perfectly round holes in them in Hills Beach, Maine

My DS & I go to the beach a lot so we are always picking up shells,sea glass,rocks.We put them in glass jars or a small basket in the spa inspired bathroom
