Conch Shell House in Isla Mujeres, Mexico
I got the nicest email from blog friend Lee Garrett after my post The House That Seashells Built with more seashell houses. See? We’re not the only ones in the world that are shell crazy.

I found this picture from a really cute blog Toby & Terry . They have those darling dogs in every picture from their travels. This house they are pictured with is the work of fisherman Alfred Petersen, who worked on decorating his house with thousands of seashells for more than 25 years.
Looking for shells at Blind Pass
OK- and for a shelling update:
Clark and I went to Blind Pass yesterday to find a few similar shells like Arthur found last weekend (Shells At Blind Pass) ……. they were all gone. You just never know- every day changes. Look at poor Clark looking for anything at all. Nothing. Just sand…..but of course, beautiful sand, jetty, birds, clean water and a nice cool day (well, 80s any way) and NO HUMIDITY!!!! So it wasn’t so much of a bad shelling day.
wow gorgeous. it reminds me of the spanish architect Gaudi. He is called the Dr. Seuss of architecture and this looks a bit like the parque guell in Spain. very cool.
Come on! Now that’s a house. Regarding Blind Pass…I have a sneaky suspicion Arthur left in a very big U-Haul.
I love the tulip shell for the water spout~
I saw the house in Denmark online a while back. That is an incredible amount of shells!!! And those dogs – well they are very cute!!!!
I wondered at first if the dogs were statues made of shells :- ) Had to zoom to confirm they were real. Amazing houses!
I’d forgotten about the Isla Mujeres house, isn’t that fun? Found it online a few years back. The one in Denmark’s amazing… tranquil despite the busy patterns… the Pulis look quite relaxed :-)
I wondered too if the dogs were real…. yes! They are so cute. If only they could have understood how great the shell house was too. I hope to find shells this weekend!
OMG, I could soooo live like that!
sorry about the no shells, been there. Like a friend of mine says, “a bad day shelling is still better than a good day at work!”
The shell water faucet in the conch house is so cool! I’d love to have one like that!
My house is sooooooo boring! I’d better get to mosaic-ing! Is that even a word? :)
That is totally insane. I WANT THAT CONCH SEASHELL HOUSE!! Imagine. I adore the bathroom. And love all the different colour glass Nautilus house. That is just mad. Pruxxx
I love these. I saw the conch house on a documentary. An artist built it. Wouldn’t a tour be wonderful of all of these? How did you find them?
