I love collecting shells and sea glass from
the tropical places we visit. But you know what
usually happens when you pick something up while
on vacation; it gets displayed for a few months, and then
those beautiful little items seem to become clutter and get taken
off your display and stored into a box somewhere in your catchall room
or storage closet: Well, not in this case. Many years ago, I decided that
the pieces I pick up on some of the most beautiful beaches around the world
deserve more than being placed into a box and forgotten.
For now, here is a little glance at how I display some of my
tropical treasured finds on our master bedroom console table;
and stay tuned for more ideas on ways I display all of my
beachy finds in an upcoming post coming soon!

I used chunky candle holders,
and filled glass vessels with shells we picked alongside
the shore while in Cape Cod two summers ago. I wrapped the glass vessels
with hemp twine to resemble weathered nautical rope, and I instantly
had the perfect display for these tropical beauties.

I display these amazing finds using a candle dish. I piled a collection of porous
sea shells and rocks, as well as pieces of sea glass (not visible in this picture),
and placed them in a candle dish. The collection of these creamy white
pieces compliment the off white candle dish just perfectly.

Here is a closer look at the glass vessels wrapped in
hemp twine and sitting atop of these gorgeous
chunky white candle holders...
I love the unique touch of using candle holders to
display these perfectly beautiful seashore finds.
