So I finally got the courage together to clean up my shells!!!
On Sunday I had some help from my boyfriend, and we washed all the shells carefully – picking out some of the rotten dead snails within in the “pumpkin shells” – that was probably the grossest thing I’ve EVER done.
But I’m all done now, and they’re all layed out on newspaper covered table OUTSIDE – I’m leaving them there a while to get rid of the ocean smell.
I’ll soon spray paint them with varnish – makes them look wet, plus it hardens them a bit. Now I have to find something to do with them afterward though…
Any suggestions?

Looks terrific !
Take pictures, I’d love to see them! I love the sea and everything that reminds me of the sea!
I have a bunch of shells I got from Florida. I wanted to do the same, spray them with varnish and make them pretty. I was going to get a clear vase and put them in there for a decorative thing. I forgot all about that, you just gave me the idea again that I need to get that done!!! Thanks!! I’d like to see pictures!!
