Ah, the Maldives- what a beautiful place!  After spending hours picking up shells, my OCD kicked in and I spent hours arranging them in to little bitty shell vignettes. By color, by pattern, by texture- mixing and matching them together.  I am so inspired by all of the dots and stripes and the natural patterns in all of them.  Think I’m going to take them home and frame them in a shadow box.

(I can’t post this without thanking my talented friend Alyssa for shell searching with me and Ryan and Caleb for making it possible!)
