Ugly Shell Collection

**warning: If you are not one for tacky/ugly things it's probably best you skip this post**

I mentioned having a collection of ugly shell art a little while ago and a few people asked that I post it, so here goes. 
As per usual, its not a fantastic collection as I limit myself to things that are less than a few dollars (with the exception of the shell chandelier, which was just too good to pass up). They all sit on this old shelf, straight as you walk into my room so that everyone gets to appreciate my hideous taste :-P 



thermometres

a trinket box, random shell thingo and a planter

birds


possibly dogs?

and my beloved chandelier

sorry for the hideousness of this post. I will be back to snail mail and prettiness now :-)

    1. haha that's because we are crazy op-shoppers :-P and yeah I am in love with the chandelier- it was a pretty pricey ($30) because I bought it from an antique shop, but I just had to have it :-P and it throws pretty patterns of light all over my room :-)
