Z Sells Seashells

July 4, 2025 From the farm in Massachusetts to the mountains in New Hampshire to the seashore in Maine .. all in a day. Our days rarely ever go as planned and this day was no different! I wanted to share the experiences I remember from many years ago with Eric, in the White Mountains. Driving the Kancamagus scenic highway, staring in awe at the incredible views and playing in the Swift River ... but of course, Mother Nature had other plans! Instead of the beautiful sunny summ

Sunrise at Vista Park Beach in Fort Lauderdale, FL - January 26, 2025 This beautiful photo, taken at sunrise, about a month after we moved to Florida, was the inspiration for this vintage postcard-style sticker. You can see Eric's dive gear in the photo, because we were there to meet a new dive buddy, but the surf was really rough and they ended up not diving afterall. Although they were disappointed, Eric and I salvaged the day and enjoyed the beach ourselves!

So this was an interesting twist! Eric was really hoping for a nice striper, like the one that had just gotten away, only minutes earlier, but instead ... SHARK! It made for quite an entertaining experience for everyone there, including families with kids, who were all very excited to see a shark up close! Once Eric got the hook out (and everyone got their photos!) this surprise guest was sent back to its home in the waves. The Cape Cod Canal is one of Eric's favorite fishin

Thank you to Johnny & Crystal at Town Line Dairy Farm in Upton, Massachusetts, for letting us park our house on their farm this summer! We're learning a lot about all the work they do here, and enjoying very delicious meals of homegrown meat and eggs! Here's Eric's commentary on the meat birds ... ------------------------------ Meat chickens, also known as "broilers", are specific breeds or hybrids of chickens selectively developed to grow rapidly and yield large amounts of

As we wrap up our first market season here in Florida, I'm looking forward to making more time to focus on building our website, which will include an online store! I'd started out using Poshmark when we only had a few things and before we started the live markets, but it was nearly impossible to keep updated with an ever-changing inventory.

We are super excited to announce that we will be at the Royal Palm Beach Seafood Festival next month - March 14-15, 2026! This is a HUGE opportunity for us and we would love for you to come and support us!

Before we moved to Florida, if someone in Massachusetts had told me that I'd be living in an RV, making money selling seashells, in the shadow of palm trees ... in the middle of winter ... I would've laughed and laughed ... And yet, HERE WE ARE! Absolutely incredible what can happen when you follow your dreams.. and this is far beyond my wildest dreams! Last weekend was our second time at the Boca Green Market. We had so many return customers.. and we had only been the

We never get tired of sharing our creations or the journeys that brought them to life, and today was no exception. We met genuinely curious, wonderfully kind humans—both patrons and fellow vendors—who reminded us why we love doing this so much. There was bartering, swapping, gifting, laughing, and that magical moment when a story lands just right. Oh yes, and we sold lots of our creations, which is always a good thing! The tales we’ve lived (and the ones still waiting for us)
