Shells~Seasonally Late

It seems I've been running seasonally late the past year with my decorating. The shells never came out of the box until the middle of the summer. I am already seeing pumpkins cropping up on blogs, but it is still warm and muggy here in Florida. I am still enjoying cooler looking vignettes for now. I shared my shells in the master bath recently when we redid that room. These shells are in my living room. (Every day that I had time to take pictures it was overcast so please excuse the dark photos.)

The corner table displays store bought starfish and apothecaries of the broken shells and pebbles I was drawn to while on vacation. I love the color and textures of both.

I kept the adornment on the mantel simple with more store bought starfish along with broken conchs and lightening whelk I have gathered at the beach. Isn't the pink inside the conch beautiful?

The coffee table has displays of a variety of shells, many of these being store bought as well. I do have some favorite found shells and coral tucked in, along with a horseshoe crab.

Now if you just have to have some orange right now, let me oblige with another pic of new kitty Finnegan Faux Paw. He and I thank you for your kind welcomes in the last post. He and Chelsea have become fast friends, and he has lost any fear of the harmless dogs. When he fattens up some he is going to be a real beauty I think.

Thank you each and every one for your visits. Mr. H returned home from his parents after being away for a whole month. This weekend has been wonderful having him back home! I hope it has been as delightful for you too.
