As a native Cape Codder, who grew up on the beach, and didn’t realize the privilege of my youth, I loved this video !! Seeing the simple beauty in the ordinary makes me appreciate all those days collecting sea glass and shells and other flotsam along the shores edge. 💙💙💙

So happy that the family vacations to the beach were something you loved. Yes, the I do believe the 🐚 bundle was purchased from one of the shops on the boardwalk!

Wow!! I love your shell 🐚 box & look forward to your next creation. What a wonderful huge collection you have to play with 🌸🐚🐚🐚🐚

Love your box...I like how you used mother of pearl buttons, with the shells, 😊👍

I found this video so interesting. You have expanded my knowledge of beautiful, vintage treasures. Thank you!

There are many early 1908-1913 postcards that are either a shell with the town’s name on it. There are series of children at the shore, bathing beauties, seascapes, lighthouses, etc. you might consider some of these as to making your projects. Great ideas going on there.

I have a small collection of shell covered things. Several little boxes and my favorite which is a Christmas tree made from all types of shells! I always put them out in the Summer and look forward to seeing them again. Lovely video baby. 😘😘😘

Love your box. I collect shells and you are inspiring me.

At various times in my life I have been so lucky to live minutes from the ocean. I think shells are one of Mother Natures most exquisite forms of art. Love your box. ❤️🇨🇦

Another great video, your shell box your making is so pretty, love the little bird on top.I once saw an old crock at an antique show that was covered with old jewelry and old cracker jack toys,and lots of little odds and ends, it was very interesting, and if I remember correctly it was 2 or 3 hundred dollars.

That was a memory jug. Folk art is very desirable!

Thanks for your "shell and tell". I like your scrapbook pages.

I love shells!!! They definitely speak of God's handiwork!!!

I perked up when you got to your book,loved it, you're the definition of what a art teacher should be.

This was so fun to watch, I have boxes of shells I’ve collected and now I’m inspired to look for boxes to cover! I’ve also always wanted to make a shell mirror and am always on the hunt for a wide framed one. I enjoy your channel!

I have many shells 🐚I’ve collected when I was very young in a clear vase and I also have jars I decorated with the shells and five really big ones and many medium size ones as well . I also have a big collection of sea glass I’ve found in the beach never thought of decorating a box 📦 but maybe I will thanks for sharing

I love sea glass. That would be pretty to combine the glass and shells.

I immediately had to go on Ebay so i could see what a sailors valentine looked like! Definitely not cheap!

I enjoyed seeing the lovely shells and how creatively you use them. Such an enjoyable video.

Love the shell art and your trinket box! How about a row or two of bone buttons circling the base of the box, with a shell design above? I am also a fan of memory jugs. I attempted one, but had problems gluing flat trinkets on a rounded jug. I ended up using a picture frame instead and covered it with vintage religious medals and crosses. You can also use air dry clay instead of grout to cover memory jugs. TFS.

Air dry clay is a great idea!

Growing up in MI there's always been shell souvenirs but i never gave them enough credit. There's a famous store up north called Sea Shell City we go to every year. I love may have to reevaluate the shells.

I was the same way. I was never really into them as a kid. Now that I know the history they interest me more.

Your shell gold box came out beautiful. I like it the way it is. Now I’m inspired to make me own and I gave away my collection of shells. But I live near the beach and it’ll be fun to look for more. I live in the SW coast of Florida. We get all sorts of shells!

Another really interesting video. I am having big pangs of regret right now. Last Spring I discarded a very large amount of shells that I had collected for 30+ years. They were part of the screened deck decor , in a large basket. The tornado damaged the deck and most everything out there....so stuff did get tossed!!!! Now I'll watch and see what you and Mary Kay Andrews do with your Shell Art. She is doing a mirror for her new beach rental and it's on Instagram. Love the boxes!!!👵💖🦋🌹

So sorry to hear that. I’ll check out her mirror.

I"m really enjoying my evening bingeing on your channel.🥰 It's a rare peaceful night at my house. Watching you is very inspiring. I may want to dabble in the shell decorating. I love the memory jug idea. Lots of shells to be had where I live. Would you share what type of adhesive you used on your beautiful box? This is where my projects begin to go awry...🤣 Thank you for your amazing content my friend. 😊💖✨🐚

You made a lovely box. I remember I had one as a kid, but not nearly as beautiful as the one you made. I hope someday you find a period one. ❤

When we took the Sunday school kids to the beach, I would set out assorted shells, large conch shells, starfish,and the kids would get so excited to just come upon these found shells,I took my neighbors daughter to the lake and told her to look for tiny baby octopus that end up on the shore, she was so excited and took it to show and tell for school, I got the tiny octopus from the chinese buffet 😊

Wow! Victorian shell art! Have you seen jewelry made from tiny shells? My mom and grandmom made them! Grandma was definitely a Victorian lady and I was reared in a quasi Victorian environment. Yeah I'm that old!

God’s beautiful creations 😍. My grand daughter is homeschooled. I’m just thinking how awesome to find a blank book she can decorate with themes etc. How would we go about that? Oh my gosh you need to do art classes for homeschooled kids!!!

You could buy any sketchbook at an art supply store Or online at amazon or blick.com. That would be a lot of fun to do homeschool art on the computer.

Thank you. It’s been a lot of fun. Funny enough. I was at a flea market today and saw a shell covered box. It was older but I don’t think Victorian.

And you didn't call me for shells ??? I have about 40lbs of Florida pretties !
