What a great creative idea!!!  would have never thought to do that.

Thanks - for some reason cleaning the shells led me to think of the wire hat box  - which led to this.  I loved mermaids as a kid. 

That is So Unique!  I'm jealous I don't have it for my real life Mermaid House in Cape May!  Great idea.

Your real life Mermaid House is just lovely.  I can see why you love living with all those historic houses in your town.  What a wonderful place to walk and see the architecture.  (I Enjoyed looking at your album!!)
