As I love shell frames year round, I just want to remind you / set you free from any limiting thinking re seashells: seashell frames are not just for summer!!! When brushed with gold and silver paint, (or bronze) they are also appropriate decorations for Fall and as XMAS gifts. And in Spring, you can make some for summer, and see, they are year-round.
On my tour through France and Northern Italy, I’ve seen so many lovely seashell frames, and many rather elegant ones in the various castles, houses and home decorating shops we visited, that I was reminded of their timelessness and loveliness. Seashells just have a connotation of relaxation and freedom to do with your time what you like, that I like them around year-round.

When I came across this set, I instantly thought to feature it on the blog. When summer is over, you can extend the fun summer memories when making these lovely shell frames. Seashell frames make the perfect display for summer vacation pictures, so be sure to keep some for your own family.
Consider it a great set, not only students for classrooms. You can use it with your own kids also. You don’t need to go to the beach to collect shells. They come with the pack.
