"The shells she sells are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells on the seashore,
I'm sure she sells seashore shells."

Hello Vicki
ReplyDeleteI love the cutie shells - I am a sucker for all shells - I have the most huge collection in a tall vase in my home. It took me years to collect some really exotic shells.
the 'she sells sea shells" got me trying it... I thought I could get a momentum going but stumbled after a few words :)
take care and such a pretty little photo

ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I think a trip to the ocean is overdue!! xo
ReplyDeleteVicki, you started my day off with a smile with the tongue twister and the lovely shells. This past weeks daily clicks features are all beautiful snaps.
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend is lovely.......

I do think of sea shells a lot Vicki. I have bowls of them in my home. They remind me of special vacations and my years in San Diego.

ReplyDeleteNO, sun here in CALIFORNIA yet!Feels like FALL.......off to work in the little brocante shop I own.........xoxoE
Vicki, how pretty. You've just given me an idea of a way to use my very over-bought condition in shells I once thought I would use for jewelry. How wonderful to do a small piece, but a very important piece, like this. xx's
ReplyDeleteWow, pretty! You have the most beautiful blog.
ReplyDeleteMissing summer x
ReplyDeleteDear Vicki,
ReplyDeleteThat's a tough tongue twister and thanks for the laugh. I wrote a post about my favourite things in Berlin - I wonder if our lists would overlap?
Happy weekend.
What a beautiful piece Vicki. Hope you are planning a girl trip soon to spend time with those lovely daughters. Are they off modeling? They should be! Will try and catch up with you this week to chat, it's been too long. We should be going to the Paris show again. Much love XO
ReplyDeleteAnd find the right section this time-lol!
ReplyDeleteBeing called Shelley and Shell, this takes me back to my school days when kids would often say this to me. Perhaps I missed my true calling... Wishing you a beautiful weekend, Vicki.
ReplyDeleteHi Vickie, This is my first comment I hope that it works. I am a novice at this and have waded through the maze without the help of Children[Adult)! I adore going to French Essence it makes my day to be carried away into your wonderful world. I bought My French Life a few years ago and feel in love with it.I stumbled across the blog in the House and Garden 2009 featuring your stunning home ready for Christmas. It has been an absolute joy to go onto your blog.I could wax lyrical for ever.
ReplyDeleteI was in Paris and Provence last July after a long time and fell totally in love all over again. The blog makes up for not being there.
I always get excited to see what you have in store for us.My son and his girlfriend have left Syd for a stint in London so I will visit them and Provence again. Happy Days to you in Provence. Trish
I'm always bringing home shells but never get around to making what is in my mind at the time. I have a shoebox full of sea urchin shells which are beautiful, I intended to make a mobil from them but they are still in the shoebox. I love the lovely shiny ones in your post,especially as a photo frame. x
ReplyDeletePretty - delicate sea-shells - they're beautiful but they're like us - if stepped on they crush easily
ReplyDeleteI'm off to the Coast today, actually! And, to my own cache of Sea Shells that I intend to make into a frame for a small mirror...after I paint them pewter, of course. In between walks on the beach to pick up more sea shells...
ReplyDeleteAnd insiration from my blogging friends....
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful shell box! Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteA late Aunt of mine used to collect tchotchkes like that. I absolutely adored them.
ReplyDeleteI too am thinking of seashells and days at the beach.

Oh. You have handed me such a delightful idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vicki!
I have been investigating the rest of your blog.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful.
They are making furniture with shells too.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI visited your blog today. I thought your photos were so pretty. I loved the sea shells. My kids adore the ocean, and go to it often. Me and my daughters just started a new blog, and we would love it if you could visit us and follow. I would enjoy coming back to visit with you and seeing all your beautiful treasures in your home. Hope to hear from you, and have a sweet day.

Those are so pearly-pretty! I did actually spend time by the shore this weekend - but it was Lake Washington in Minnesota, not the seashore. A friend and I had a writing date on the deck at the marina, sipped "lemonades" (with a little coconut rum to kick-start our writing process) and wrote for hours. I may have found my writing home away from home-office!
ReplyDeleteIt was full of seashells and shopping
ReplyDeleteOh those shells are so very pretty!
ReplyDeleteSo this is where to post a comment! Thank you Vicky for all the gorgeous photos, comments and books. We stayed recently for a week in St Remy and went to many places you have written about - how wonderful to have the "insider's information" from you. Best wishes from Australia
ReplyDeleteseeing that photo of the seashell box reminded me that we used to have one of those, not from scarborough but covered in lovely pearly shells, i wonder what happened to it.
