Wonderful shell measuring spoons!  How cute are these?  Super, I say!  Made of stoneware to resemble bay scallop shells, these two-sided little spoons will definitely please.  And at $12.00 a set, they are a baragin.  Something she'll definitely love!

Shell Filled - Update

Okay, so just yesterday I posted a giant clam shell with different ideas on how you could use at your wedding.  And low and behold, today I look online at Pottery Barn - and yes, they are selling a clam shell!  Not only that - but what do they fill it with?  Hello, ice and oysters on the half shell.  Seriously, I have not seen it until two minutes ago, when I knew I had to give you an update and post the pic....so here it is...

Man, am I good!  Just kidding, of course.

Shell Filled

So I saw this pic and thought...hey, there is a super cute idea!  Yes, I know this is set for the holidays - but how cute would this be at your wedding?  Especially one with a beachy theme.

How cute would these giant clam shells be filled with some sand to display your table cards?  How about filling them with your favors?  (Above the hostess filled the shell with little boxes of macaroons for her guests as their parting holiday gift - too cute!)   Or you could use smaller ones either filled with water and floating candles as your centerpieces, or filled with flowers, seagrass, shells, etc.  Also, these would be super cute filled with some ice and used for either oysters on the halfshell type of buffet, shrimp buffet, or drinks.  Think outside the shell (corny, I know) and see what else you can come up with!  As always, I can go on...let me know if you would like more ideas...not just for this post - but any of my posts!  Happy Tuesday inspiration.
