Seashells by the... window...

in #monomad5 years ago (edited)

Yup, they are wind chime seashells... not sitting by the seashore, but by my 'magic' window... yes, the one that provides me sunset views galore...

I bought this ages and ages ago from the Filipino market in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, East Malaysia in North Borneo - and they are still hanging with the same original rope string!

Kinda makes one think of shells on a merry-go-round...

Of course, they make a lovely tinkling when blown by the breeze...
I chose this sepia as it reminds me of the golden sand of the beach
As well as golden memories of days gone by...

Capturing another angle as the wind blew the shells around...
And varying degrees of light and dark with the shades pulled close...
and a shaft sunlight shining through

Hmmm, I couldn't decide if this black and white was better or the first sepia version
So, I'm posting both!
Let me know...

I agree with your choice of sepia. It fits in well with the seashore and sand. I love seashells. We have baskets and bowls of them throughout the house.

Awwww, so glad you liked it! Thank you!! :)
I'm late again with replies - my apologies!! I get so caught up and then get late with replies...

Thank you for your feedback and for dropping by, Diane. I love seashells too, although we don't get many here. Many of the shell decorations come from Philippines where they have many islands with shells washed up on the beaches. Hardly see any here...

Hope you're having a good week and the hurricane isn't too bad there... :(

Ooh, sepia for sure! The black and white are beautiful too, but the sepia really captures the magic.

Yayyyy! :) Thank you!!

Apologies for this late reply, and am glad you liked the sepia too...
