Seashell picture frame hostess gift

                                                  Max and his little crab.
Every day at the beach involves collecting shells, even if it is just one or two slipped beauties into a pocket.
And everyone who travels to visit anyone this summer who lives on the beach will undoubtably do the same thing. Then what to do with the shells? Fill a jar? Fine, but with extras why not create a gift for your hostess?  Last summer I picked shells and crab legs and stones off of our beach with my son Max, and by the end of the summer we had quite a collection.
I had several very plain wooden picture frames on hand and used one of them to made this charming ode-to-summer picture frame.
