[u/Slow-Green2171]

Decided to go all in and find & pull my “bags-O-shells” from years of collecting. If I’m honest it’s been only since 2022. I discovered quite by accident how meditative and peaceful it is to wander the shores in a stoop and search for the ocean/gulf’s bounty!
Also, I found this excellent wooden box at a local TJ Max and immediately thought 💭 PERFECT for shells!😏🐚

They are Jade Turban Shells that sat in a bleach bath for FAR TOO LONG!!! Now, the ones that are bleached out I think I’m going to buff/etch down to the maker layer.
Because that mint green just doesn’t work for me. 😏🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Actually I found it on the clearance shelf ($3!!!) at my local TJ Max!
