Roses are Red - Violets are the Shell Shop

Going shelling is so much fun but if you don't like getting sandy & wet beach combing it is probably not for you. But guess what, I hit the beach today and didn't even have to put on sunscreen. There are lots of beach shops along the Gulf coast of Florida.  Most sell imported seashells, cheap manufactured souvenirs, and mass-produced t-shirts. For almost 50 years The Shell Shop in Englewood, Florida has been selling local sea shells, hand-made shell art, & sharks teeth.  The Shell Shop located at 10 Crestview Dr & 776 in Englewood, Florida.  I moved to Englewood 2 years ago. The more I meet people around town the more I started to realize that everyone in Englewood  is either related to, went to high school with, or is the ex- of someone I know.   Take the Shell Shop for instance. The business shares half the building with a cousin who runs his family's barbershop. That cousin & his wife are friends of mine. I met them at church. His cousin Brandi Woffar
