Bunny Williams |
If you look closely at the seashells in this Bunny Williams drawer, they have slits in them because.....they are place card holders.
If you Google seashell place card holders, you will find lots of wedding and party websites selling them for beach weddings and the like. They are very reasonable - these at Party City are under $7 dollars for 6.
Seashell Place Card Holders |
I have not ordered these and many websites offer them - this is just an example.
The ones that really intrigued me are the one with the silver slits, so I went down the rabbit hole and ended up with a neighbor - sort of - the business is Philmore USA based down the road in Naples.
The owner has a fabulous background including John Hardy which forced me to get out my John Hardy jewelry and I wore a favorite piece yesterday.
The silver slots are sterling and he has a fantastic selection of these seashell place card holders. I am trying to choose my eight favorites and am having a difficult time narrowing it down. This is THE most elegant collection of seashell items imaginable and there are several pieces I would like in addition to the place card holders. Here are a few examples from his wonderful shop.
Hi Beth,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Philmore USA recommendation. That shop has one of the most gorgeous selection of shell items I have ever seen. I’m up here in the Boston area and never would have known about it without you. I may have to order today.
Glad you like his things - I think they are stunning.
DeleteI want everything in his store. Thanks for sharing this. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome.

ReplyDeleteThey really are works of art.
DeleteI didn't know I needed seashell place card holders until now! I don't particularly like the plain ones, but the ones with the sterling silver - oh my, those are lovely!
ReplyDeleteI agree - the plain are great at that price point for large quantities like a wedding reception.
DeleteYou will have a gorgeous table when we can again have dinner guests. Hosting an elegant dinne rparty is one of my most favorite ways to entertain. Love the hope as you plan for these events.
ReplyDeleteOne has to hope for better days ahead.
DeleteOMG!!!! No wonder you are unable to decide! These are just magnificent! Can't wait to see where your heart ultimately lands!!! Too beautiful!!!
