After eyeing the large lit mercury glass nautilus shell in Pottery Barn all summer, I was ecstatic to find it in the store with a drastically reduced price since it was missing the strand of white lights that can go inside. At first I only found one, and knowing that it would be the perfect gift for a dear friend, I resigned myself to doing the right thing and getting it for her. While I was checking out, I shared my lament with the cashier. She literally chased me out of the store a minute later to say she found another hiding in a different spot. Well just go ahead and make my day, why-don’t-ya.
I tried it in so many places at home, and it finally landed on the porch. For now.
It layers in just the right amount of glitz to that part of the porch! I am definitely going to get a strand of lights to go inside – I mean, that would just be ridiculously gorgeous at night.
Here’s to hoping she loves it as much as I do!!

As a Kappa Delta gal I am always on the lookout for nautilus shell goodies- I am running to my PB as soon as it opens to see if the luck can continue a couple states away!! Fingers crossed.
Love it – and you found a perfect spot with the way the blue glasses reflect in it.

I am so in love with your porch! Your lucky find looks perfect nestled there!
So pretty. I love mercury glass. Might have to see if the PB by me has any left.
Oh, yes! Of course I willl love it! Haha. It looks fabulous and we can't wait to see it at night. Look out, PB! Here we all come! A small, 20 light strand should do the trick, girls. Have fun! Jane – San Diego
love them!
Your friend is going to love it—and if she doesn't – well, you need a new good friend. Put my name on the top of THAT list, will ya? What gorgeousness!!!! It looks beautiful there-xo Diana
