DING DING DING.....we have a winner. They are sea shells, gathered, washed, sorted and made into flowers and then arranged by my Mother.

When Mom and Dad retired to Florida they spent almost every day walking on the beach. My Mom was fascinated by the shells and could not walk past a pretty one....even the tiny ones.

I got her a book on Floirida shells so she would know what they all were and the stories behind their names. Anyway...in the very back of the book were a couple pictures of shell crafts. Most all was tacky stuff but there was one picture of a flower. It was not very well done but I said to Mom....you could improve on that and use some of you shells for something to display. She say..Oh, Sis I can't do that but I asked her to just try it.

She did try and has turned out many bouquets. I took a couple to some boutiques and upscale art places. They were interested in having some for sale. It's Mom's little hobby and has turned out profitable too.

Here's a closer picture...
