oooh! 130 shells from one trip? Did you find them all yourself? They are gorgeous! I love the colors.

And the watercolor paintings are so beautiful. What a lovely beach themed home you have.

Blessings & Aloha!

This Beach party is fun...fun to meet new bloggers (I'm still fairly new and learning all the time!)

I noticed that you are in Minnesota. (My younger sister lives in Minneapolis).
