I found out that you can make anything out of a seashell... like a frame or decorate a present... or a simple napkin holder. I found a double shell ideal for holding something. And, because the pearl was already taken, I just stuffed it with a napkin:) So much for living so close to the sea and keeping every treasure that it spits out. I'm too much under the influence of the the area and my collectivism as well.
