So I've done a lot of work trying to figure out these shells, but I've given up. They came from Oak Island and Holden Beach, North Carolina. Google Lens ™️, scouring shell collector pages, and Seashells of North Carolina, Revised and Expanded Edition...no dice, so far.

My sister now lives in Southport, North Carolina. Since I house- and cat-sit (while doing a writing retreat), I use my breakaway time to beachcomb. Before coming, I searched for a great resource with a list of things to look for at the local beaches, with photos. Since there wasn't one, this will work for myself and others.

- All of these seashells have been found at Holden Beach, North Carolina.
- All of these have been found at Oak Island, North Carolina, as well, except *

Interior design has a sticky problem. The more successful one is at creating a long-term, livable nest, the less likely that the customer is going to need ongoing purchases, unless they build a new house or addition.

Mount Vernon, in Mount Vernon, Virginia, US, was the home of George and Martha Washington. Atop its cupola is a unique 1778 weathervane, designed by Washington himself. Copies of this iconic decoration are sold by Mount Vernon's gift shop (albeit brass, rather than the original's gold leaf).
