    Great use of old seashells! I have some that are perfect from a vacation to the Hamptons last year!

    How fun! Living here in San Diego I definitely have some shells around the house. I just might have to try this. :)

    I've been wanting to do this with a few of the shells from my collection - I was actually tempted to ask the waiter for empty oyster shells when I had lunch a few weeks ago (but didn't want to lug smelly shells home from the city)!
