    I hope that your dad is feeling better and that the damage to his home is not too extensive and can be cleaned.

    Take care of yourself as well as you are taking care of your dad.

17. What a trooper to squeeze a photo shoot into that disastrous visit home! It looks very happy in it's new habitat.

18. Wow! It's gorgeous. I've been wanting one of these…I had no idea they were so heavy. I love the way you are displaying your's.

19. 100 lbs! Now that is a giant clam! Wow!

20. Wow Sherry – what a gorgeous gift ( to yourself lol )
    100 lbs – yeah – you'd better like it where it is for awhile!!!
    It looks beautiful where it is ( and that's a beautiful buffet by the way)

21. Looks great! I have a fake one from Pottery Barn that I got 3 years ago and I just love it. Yours looks great on that wonderful sideboard! Unfortunately I don't use mine too often because it is so large and the space at my beach house is limited…I always thought it would be fun to serve some type of food in or on…I think shells make everyone happy because they remind people of the beach and relaxation!

22. It's beautiful Sherry!!

23. That look great there! Here in @#$% it's still chilly and overcast! The shell makes me think of the beach!

24. One chance? LOL

25. Sherry–I also have a giant clam shell that has been in our family for years. I was wondering how you cleaned yours and also, what you put on the bottom of it to keep from scratching the wood? Yours looks beautiful!

26. had you considered removing the mirror to give the giant clam shell "pride of place"? Both are beautiful pieces but as Michele said it's hard to focus on one.

27. I think that the clam is a TRIDACNA clam shell, although I am not certain. Tridacna clams can live many, many years and weigh up to 600 pounds. They have been used as baptismal fonts, and, of course, beads are made from this shell. (google)

28. I hope your dad is okay.. and that you are feeling better:)

    The clam shell is a great statement piece!

29. Good thing you picked the perfect spot for it- wow! I hope everyone has recovered from the lovely "vacation." 🙂

30. You are totally cracking me up, but I think you are right about that trip being awful. The clam shell is that heavy? I had no idea. Yeah, my husband would have said the same thing. I wanted to move a mirror and he told me it was way too difficult to do that again. 🙁

31. I love it there! It looks great how you filled it with things too. I had no idea it was that heavy!

32. What an awesome shell! Love it.

33. Wow..that is gorgeous and heavy 🙂 hope this are settling down at your end…

34. Love that gorgeous huge clamshell!!…I think it has found it's perfect home…

35. LOVE that shell! I can't believe it weighs so much! It does look great on your buffet! Life to the full, Melissa

36. Beautiful! I want one – LOL!
