Sanibel Island Seashells

This postcard comes from my sister-in-law who lives in Florida with my niece. One of their favorite places to visit is Sanibel Island; on their most recent trip, my niece braved the water (even though it was only 65F!) and then they collected shells, including some crab claws.

I wanted one so badly that I eventually convinced my parents to buy me one (at an exorbitant price, I’m sure) at a local souvenir shop.
