“Ocean Reef" Paper Weight - By Artist Michael Egan - OOAK - It Glows!

Hello Everyone!!

We live on Estero Island in Florida, also known as Fort Myers Beach. We have been here for nearly 50 years! In 2022 Hurricane Ian came through our beautiful island and pretty much destroyed the quiet charm of the island. All the sweet old cottages were literally swept into the Gulf of Mexico. We, unfortunately decided to stay and ride out the storm, a bad decision in so many ways! We found ourselves sad and depressed and decided we better do something that will help us cope. We always have loved the beach and picking shells. So, instead of putting them in many jars around the house we decided to turn them into pieces of art. We like to repurpose thrift store items and turn them into our own works of art. In the near future we hope to add many more pieces of art, not only shell art but also some beautiful resin art and wood art! We also have other beautiful items such as pottery and glass. Thanks for visiting our store! Carol & Tom
