Popular Souvenirs - From the Beaches of the World
|
Seashells can be found washed up on nearly all of the world's beaches. However, they are more plentiful, and in greater variety where the waters are warm and shallow. These little treasures yielded up onto beaches from the world's oceans are one of the most commonly collected souvenirs when people go on vacation. But all of them aren't so little. The largest shells come from giant clams ... they can measure over four feet! People bring them home and use them to decorate all sorts of things - from candles to picture frames to napkin rings, and more. You can also add pictures of these little ocean souvenirs (and occasional a real preserved one) to your walls, shelves, cabinets and drawers for a special decorator touch in your bath, kitchen, or other room. Here's a pretty Conch Shell cabinet knob and matching pulls with a vintage look from WanderingWonders on Zazzle. Shown along with this pretty ceramic hardware is an idea for something to help complete the look - a piece of wood wall art that coordinates quite well with these particular knobs and pulls. |
