Kahelelani (Ka-Hey-Lay-Lani) Shells are also known as Ni'ihau Shells, named such because they can be found on a select few of Ni'ihau's secluded beaches. Kahelelani has modern translation meaning "pathway to heaven" because each shell resembles a spiral staircase climbing up into the sky.
Hold Shell accountable for the devastating impact that their pollution is having on the human rights of people living in the Niger Delta.

I always loved creating little boats with walnuts being a kid.
Last autumn, after baking a cake , we kept the shells. We finally got to start painting them.

We went for an impromptu walk up to the Grotto this afternoon.
The grotto in Pontypool Park was probably built in the late 18th century, although its hey-day came in the early 19th century when the shell decoration for which its interior is now famous was added. The identity of the shell decorator remains something of a mystery. It is possible that Molly Hanbury Leigh was responsible since she is known to have had a shell collection. On the other hand it has also been suggested that the grotto was decorated as part of an employment scheme in 1829-30. The highlight of the grotto's history came in 1882 when the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) picnicked at the site during a hunting trip. It fell into decline during the 20th century, only to be restored in 1991. Today it is used as a venue for story telling, poetry reading and music recitals. The majority of shells were British mussels, cockles, periwinkles and limpets, accompanied by a few examples of exotic species such as pearl oyster, conch and cowrie.
