The shell fair consists of two different rooms divided into the craft division of the show and the scientific division in the other room. Today, I will wet your whistle with what I consider the cream of the crop from the craft division…. the SAILOR’S VALENTINES. Go get your readers, a cup of your favorite tea and get comfy because you’ll want to soak in the details and drool over these beautiful works of art. …..And The Winners ARE……..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
