After a long winter's nap, we are gearing up for an amazing summer full of sea, salt, and sand :) Stay tuned!

Belated ONE Year Anniversary!
Whoops.. This was supposed to go up in March (hehehe). I would like to thank all of my family, friends, and fans for making 2013 a super special start up year. I look forward to the 2014 spring/summer season and am so excited to share what's next for SSSS! xx Michele
New Year, New Packaging
Happy New Year, friends!
I know I've been a bit MIA lately-- it's because good things are happening. :)
Here is our new packaging for the one ounce and one pound bottles/jars. Eventually, this will be up on Etsy, in the mean time, please keep the email orders coming, it is the best way to get in contact with us directly.
The last few weeks have been pretty cold in New York, but the chilly weather has not slowed down our harvest or production schedule.
Thank you for all of your support this year. We incorporated in March and it's been quite the ride. Cheers to 2014 and what lies ahead.
Autumn in New York
Autumn is my favorite season in New York City and out east in Westhampton Beach. Warm days and chilly nights, leaves changing colors, pumpkin picking on the North Fork, and outerwear!
It is also the best season to harvest water for salt making! People often say I am crazy for going in the water during chilly weather, but the water is usually warmer than the air! This results in super clean and fast batches of salt to be made. Hence making it the best season ever :)
(*Note: I do not usually fetch water in a skirt- usually a bathing suit or rain boots!)
Fresh Batch
I love the feeling of accomplishment after finishing a fresh batch of white, fluffy sea salt. Email ShellySeaSalt@gmail.com to order some today !
Salt Samples
If you are interested in buying multiple bottles or in larger amounts, but would like to give our salt test run- we now have Shelly Sells Sea Salts Inc. tin slider samples! Shoot me an email and I will kindly send you one via USPS. ShellySeaSalt@gmail.com
Labor Day Weekend
The last salt harvest of the summer proved to be one of the best yet. Looking forward to the fall (in my opinion, the Hamptons best season) and future harvests. My Etsy shop should be open by the end of this week! Stay tuned.

Spring Harvesting
I love spring time on the east end of Long Island. The best part is that the icy bite in the wind disappears, which makes walks on the beach much easier. Unfortunately, the water is still freezing, but that hasn't stopped us from grabbing buckets of water and making fresh salt. One of my favorite parts of the weekend is going down to the beach with my family. We spend a few hours flying kites, searching for beach glass, jumping off of the dunes, and my nephews (no matter what the temperature is) charge into the water. At the end of the session, I fill up my buckets, we head back to the house, and settle in for a big Sunday meal. Perfection.
Weighing and Packing
My weekends now consist of weighing white powder and packaging it in glass bottles and bags.
Slow and Steady...
Wins the race, right? Packaging preview:
