What To Do with All of those Sanibel Shells!
One of the main reasons people flock to Sanibel Island is because there is an abundance of shells on the beach. It is fun to pick through the mounds of shells to find that perfect lettered olive, shark eye, or colorful scallop. You can end up going home each time with buckets of shells and then having to find a spot for them. There are many craft and display ideas on the internet but I saw a beauty just the other day in my neighborhood…a shell mailbox. 
Not sure if this mailbox was purchased or made by the owner but what a great idea to show off your beautiful shells and you can enjoy them without cluttering up the house.
One of the best times to shell is soon after a storm due to the churning up of the water and shell beds. Have fun shelling the next time you’re at the beach but remember that it is illegal to take home any live shells from Sanibel and all of Lee County.
