Day 53: Shells from Japan

These shells were brought back from the fishing village my sister and I stayed in when we visited Japan. The colorful ones are abalone shells and the white ones were described as "Tako Shells." I've never heard of an octopus that has a shell so I'm not sure what kind of shell they actually are but they're absolutely beautiful in person. The shell is so thin it's translucent. There are four or five abalone shells and two Tako shells.

The Rules

- One item must be posted for every day of 2010

- Listed items must be either gifted, donated, or trashed

- Once an item is added to the list it can not be removed

- Identical or grouped items only count as one unit, e.g. my old Economist magazines only count as one item

- Try doing a search for "available"

- The recommended method for calling "dibs" is to post a comment on the desired item but other mediums will be considered (Facebook, Google Buzz).

- Any potential shipping charges are the responsibility of the requester (I live in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle)

- Preference may be given to first-time dibbers

- I have turned on comment moderation so readers can safely leave their contact info. This means your comments will not show up immediately and it may not be immediately obvious if an item is dibbed. I try to update ASAP but don't always have immediate access.

- Project will only end early if impartial third parties agree that disposing of any more items would be counterproductive
