We have a winner!

Several months ago my husband had some escargot with dinner, and while I would not touch them with a ten foot pole. I did bring those cute little snail shells home with me to photograph.

I remember washing them up real good, but then forgot all about them. I apparently tucked them into a couple of the drawers of my jewelry box and promptly forgot about them.

I hope you aren’t too disappointed by this revelation. L^2 at Dog's Eye View was the lucky guesser.

So I snapped a few photos before I ship the shells off.

CONGRATULATIONS L-Squared!

  3. Thank you!!! I’m still surprised I got it right. :-)

    I wouldn’t eat escargot either, but when I was a kid we had a couple of tiny snails that lived in our fish tank for a while – that’s what made me think of it. Our snails’ shells didn’t look anything like these though; as I recall they were rather plain looking.

  13. Those shells certainly ARE pretty, but I wouldn't have touched the insides with a ten-foot pole, either!

  14. I wouldn't be touching them with a 10 foot pole either, but I would save the shells, because I am like that.
