SUMMER'S DEFINITELY HERE!
And down here in the Lone Star State, our streak of daily temps over 100℉ proves it.

WHAT WOULD SUMMER BE WITHOUT A LARGE SEASHELL TO OUR EAR LISTENING FOR THOSE WAVES?
And what makes our seashells so special? Well, we actually make a trip to a coastal town and hand-pick each shell ourselves. We do our best to find the best variety, aiming to pick out shells that are as close to perfect as possible, with no nicks or cracks. Then (because we are OCD and maybe a little crazy) we hand-wash EACH one, making sure there are no reminders left inside of what was once there or moved in later.
So you can be sure that the shells you buy from us are odor free and personally inspected by yours truly! For more of our shells that are already in our store, go
here. Otherwise...
