ShipShapeStyles Celebrates our retail shops

Shore Goods on Marco Island:

The Perfect Home for ShipShapeStyles Sea Glass Jewelry If you're looking for one-of-a-kind, handcrafted treasures that capture the essence of coastal living, look no further than Shore Goods on Marco Island, Florida. For over two decades, this beloved boutique has been a staple in the heart of Marco Island, offering a blend of nautical antiques, vintage salvage, seashells, DIY craft supplies, and locally handcrafted gifts. Now, thanks to a recent partnership with ShipShapeStyles, Shore Goods has taken its coastal offerings to the next level with stunning sea glass jewelry.

A Unique Blend of Old and New Shore Goods was originally founded in 1997 and recently acquired by proprietors Ken Overly and David Wall. Located in a luxury resort destination just south of Naples, Marco Island is home to a vibrant community of vacationers, retirees, and snowbirds. Shore Goods has been the go-to shop for both locals and tourists seeking nautical-inspired decor and coastal gifts. Ken and David have transformed Shore Goods into a destination not just for its eclectic offerings but also for the unique atmosphere that blends the charm of a vintage treasure hunt with the beauty of contemporary coastal craftsmanship. Whether you’re looking for a seashell accent, a nautical-themed vintage piece, or a gift to remember your trip, Shore Goods has it all. ShipShapeStyles: Handcrafted Sea Glass Jewelry One of the shop's newest and most exciting additions is the ShipShapeStyles sea glass jewelry collection. Known for its beautiful, tumbled sea glass pieces, ShipShapeStyles designs each piece to capture the natural beauty of the ocean. These exquisite jewelry items are handcrafted, from tumbled sea glass mirroring the natural smoothing of the sea itself. Whether you’re in the market for a necklace, bracelet, or earrings, each piece has a unique story. ShipShapeStyles is proud to work with a diverse range of retail locations across the United States, from Maine to Florida, California, Alaska, and even Pago Pago. The partnership with Shore Goods has proven to be a success, with Ken and David reordering ShipShapeStyles’ jewelry three times since their initial order in December 2024. The display of this jewelry at the front of their store has drawn much attention, and visitors can’t get enough of the timeless coastal beauty it offers.

A Thriving Partnership

It all started at the Grand Strand Gift and Resort Show in December 2024, where Jen and I (ShipShapeStyles) met Ken and David. From that moment, the two companies quickly formed a strong partnership. The enthusiastic response to ShipShapeStyles jewelry at Shore Goods has been nothing short of spectacular, and the sales have soared in the months that followed. It's clear that Marco Island’s visitors and locals are enamored with the sea glass jewelry’s vibrant colors and beachy elegance, which fits perfectly with Shore Goods' coastal charm. Shore Goods' success with ShipShapeStyles highlights a fantastic opportunity for other shops, particularly those located in coastal or resort areas, to offer handcrafted and artisan products that speak to the local environment and culture. As the demand for unique, high-quality coastal jewelry continues to grow, businesses like Shore Goods set the standard for how to showcase and sell these beautiful pieces.

A Year-Round Destination

Shore Goods is open year-round, making it the perfect stop for vacationers or snowbirds who flock to Marco Island during the winter months. While the summer months bring tourists, the busiest time at Shore Goods is generally between November and April, when snowbirds arrive to escape the chill of the north. Regardless of when you visit, you can be sure that the store will have fresh, new items for sale — including the coveted ShipShapeStyles sea glass jewelry. In addition to their incredible selection of home decor and coastal-themed gifts, Shore Goods works closely with local artisans and makers, making it a true gem for anyone who loves the beauty of handcrafted goods.

A New Chapter for Shore Goods and ShipShapeStyles

We’re thrilled about the continued success of Shore Goods and the growing popularity of ShipShapeStyles jewelry in this beautiful coastal community. The partnership is a shining example of how small businesses can thrive by embracing unique products and supporting artisans who bring the spirit of the sea to life. Whether you're shopping for yourself or looking for the perfect gift, Shore Goods on Marco Island is the place to be.
