\"Seashells<\/a><\/p>\n

Decorating your yard with seashells is just as much fun as decorating the inside of your home with shells. I showed you how our friends Dick and Mary decorated the inside of their house (Tips To Decorate Your Home With Seashells) but now, hold on to your boot straps because the outside of their home is just as fabulous.<\/p>\n

\"Urn<\/a><\/p>\n

They pick up all of those big beautifully broken WHELKS and CONCHS to\u00a0fill their outdoor urns and pots to decorate their poolside patio. They look maaaw-vilous! That’s exactly why we pick them up too and call\u00a0them our “yard shells”.<\/p>\n

\"poolside<\/a><\/p>\n

You don’t have to always put plants into your “planters”. You don’t have to water shells! Well, except if you want to make a vase out of a HORSE CONCH.<\/p>\n

And you don’t always have to put tools in the toolbox. Put seashells here too.<\/p>\n

\"seashell<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay, are you ready to see the “seashell garden”? It is a 22 feet long area filled with shells they found on Sanibel. I can’t even imagine how many WHELKS, CONCHS, OLIVES…. oh you name it, it’s in there.<\/p>\n

Here’s a view looking straight down and I’d say this was a typical view of the different shells. Unbelievable, right?<\/p>\n

They dry the shells after they wash them outside in a somewhat shaded area. This was a new batch they found.<\/p>\n

In the last month, we have had an unusual amount of MANGROVE SEED PODS wash up on the beach. Mary decided to bring a few home to see if they would root. Three weeks later, they are sprouting.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Now let’s move into the garage where they store and organize all of the other shells and beach bling they find before it gets placed in the yard or house. Only in my dreams, could I be this organized. And before you ask… Yes, this fine cabinet is in their garage.<\/p>\n

Their sand is even organized.<\/p>\n

\"organized<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0They both were laughing and couldn’t wait to show me this jar of\u00a0beach combing oddities. Yep, they found a kid’s retainer in the surf and picked up to add to their collection of oddities. LOL<\/p>\n

\"beach<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0I hope you enjoyed the visit with Dick and Mary as much as I did and hopefully you got a few more ideas of what to do with your shells you find. In case you missed Part One showing the inside of their house… CLICK HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
