My Etsy shop, The Sleepy Seahorse, is still going strong, and so I've got many new seashell creations to share with you as well as some photos from some of my recent beach adventures.
I do most of my shelling on Sanibel/Captiva Islands and Siesta Key. This is a pear shaped whelk that I found on my last trip to Sanibel.
I'm often fortunate to see wildlife on my beach adventures, and I'm always glad to see that amidst all of the development in southwest Florida, the beaches are still teeming with life.

roseate spoonbills and ibises
My favorite time of day to go to the beach is sunset. Every evening is different and beautiful.

Here is a link to my Etsy shop where I sell seashell art inspired by the beautiful beaches that surround me. Many of the shells in my work I find myself right here on our local beaches.

I do accept custom orders, so please feel free to send me a message via Etsy if there's something you have in mind that you don't see in my shop!
This is the first tissue box cover I've made. I plan to repeat this design in other colors.

I bought this frame in the Keys a few years ago. It is made from a lobster trap that aged in the water for several seasons.

Ornaments - these can be used on your Christmas tree or simply as an accent in your home/wedding/party all year round.

I'll close with a quote from Humphrey Bogart. Other than seashells, my other true love is classic movies, so this perfect!
Happy Summer! Thanks for stopping by!
