From my collection
Sanibel Island is widely known as one of the world's top shelling beaches. It is frequently covered with a variety of shells from the Gulf of Mexico.
The look and feel of this shot of shellfish on the seaside rocks makes me think of the color and texture of some of my wife's textile art.
This fishing cottage was transformed into a gorgeous grotto in the 1840s by a plasterer called Alex Bachelor, who also covered the interior walls in shells.
I added a few little mementos of the beach to my kitchen windowsill.
