Beyond the ken of mortal men
Beneath the wind and waves
There lies a land of shells and sand
Of chasms, crags and caves
Where coral castles climb and soar
Where swaying seaweeds grow
And all around without a sound
The ocean currents flow
Graeme Base

I don’t remember where I got this box, or who made it or when, but the words inside the lid are from one of my favourite picture books and I add shells to it now and then.

    You have a nice seashell collection – it looks like it’s something you’ve worked on for a while.
