I stole seashells by her lake shore

We were lost, kept going in circles. It wasn't until the third or fourth pass by that we actually stopped. The woman lived on a private property just big enough for a driveway and her home. The lake was her backyard. She did have a side yard full of sand and seashells that were painted. I found that the most intriguing of all. These weren't ordinary seashells but ones that she had procured from a beach somewhere and then painted. There were delightful works of art painted on some, and a few that merely had cartoon characters on them. I did find one or two plain seashells. I stole a few while my family was busy asking for directions. I figured I would place them in a shadowbox and affix them on my wall. I had some fairy lights, small clothes pins and plenty of twine. I planned to wrap some in twine and hang them from the fairy lights. She did catch me picking up one, and I quickly tossed it down. She had no idea that I had plenty more in the pocket of my hoodie. You won't tell her, will you?
