I use to live in Ohio.I would come down to Florida with my best friend at least once ayear on vacation.Well,being from up north.While at the beach I would spend hours picking up sea shells.We would spend 3-4 days around Marco Island or Sanabel Island,just to be able to collect great shells.Once I went home with all these shells,what to do with them all.After a couple of attempts,this is what I came up with.After many friends wanted candles also.Would you believe I had to purchase shells to complete the requests.Now I have move to Florida,no more purchasing shells!! I still have two more requset to fofill.For some reason(chids) has slowed me down.Enjoy Rich
