    Wow! I love how this ended up looking! Silly question, did you use any shells you found or did you buy these?

      Hi Christina - Thanks! No question is silly(!)…All the shells I used, I found...I have quite a huge collection...love those Florida shells! Wearing the clip, I love the tiny clinks that it makes as the shells swing...reminders of the beach. Jeanne of Doodle T and Me!
