now this is the BOMB ... I know that's an old cliche ... but I'm old
Exquisite, especially the grotto! Can you imagine how cool one would be in the California heat? With a fountain, of course...
well....that dragon nautilus shell is pretty fabulous!
That is one interesting hat!
Tis the season! I am in the midst of making a shell art table for one of my best friend for her birthday in August! I make her something special every year. These are beautiful!!!

Great chair!
I've seen shell embellished rooms, a temple too, but nothing like these!
I agree, not seen anything like this before - so fun! Thanks for posting!
These are so cool! Wow, way out of the box! I won a nautical shell vase recently, and haven't been able to decide what to do with it, should I carry out the nautical theme, or let it sit on its own? This gives me some great ideas! XO!
wow - these are incredible! makes my humble vase of shells look pretty sad. : )
great post!
WOW I can see why you were over the moon. i could stare at each image for hours. very intricate. great find.
Oh wow, that is quite a treasure! very envious of such a wonderful find! Your taste are so similar to my mother and I's!
