Florida Seashells from the collection of Jaime Sawczyn

Jacksonville Florida, USA. 

Jaime is a sheller from Jacksonville, Florida. Her shelling adventures are about every three months, when she takes tours down in Southwest Florida to the 10,000 Islands to shell with Treasure Seekers Shelling. She has a huge collection now, and still tries to make it to the beach several times a week. Her soul sister calls her the Martha Stewart of Shelling. Jaime's collection is from all up and down the Coast of West Florida, the Florida Keys, and Southwest Florida. 

This video was part of the Virtual Beachcombing Festival on June 20, 2020.
