The sky was so pretty looking over at the Sanibel from the new sand bar beach on the Captiva side of Blind Pass.

Clark and I stopped there to see the changes after our fabulous weekend hanging out in our booth at Chadwick’s Square for the Holiday Marketplace. We had a fantastic time getting to know more shellers, giving away shells and showing off our new merchandise. We also had front row to the stage to see cooking demonstrations, painting demos, ice sculpting… oh my gosh.. I could go on. But the best thing for me?  I was so thrilled to meet blog friends and shelling sisters.

It was a perfect way to end the day to stop to see the beach.

I had to smile when I saw this broken piece of TULIP shell lying there on the sand bar. It’s exactly what Val from New Mexico uses for her flowers and leaves to make beautiful ornaments. I love mine!

PS- There are 20 mph West winds kicking up the gulf right now…. shelling is right around the corner!
