This is my little piece of paradise, Marco Island Florida. Located on the Gulf of Mexico, it is surrounded my turquoise waters, white sandy beaches and the best shells in the world! It's just south of Sanibel Island, a well known shelling destination. This is where I find the seashells for all my crafts, I have more than I know what to do with!
Marco Shell & Craft Co. is an amazing little store located on the island. It has a vast assortment of crafting supplies that I use for my projects and they feature completed crafts around the store that I use for inspiration!

| Treasures from a shelling expedition |
In March, on Spring Break, we took
The Dolphin Explorer for a swing around the island. Not only did we see over 20 dolphins, we also made a pit stop on a remote barrier island, only accessible by boat. Resulting in a bounty of shells that have not been picked over by beach-goers! Since it is located near deeper waters, this shelling destination is a great opportunity to discover deep-sea shells, which may not make it all the way to the shores of mainland beaches. We found a rare "flat", zigzag scallop!
