A seashell and seaglass sandollar. A friend tagged me and another friend in a contest to win it, we just have to pay shipping basically. Technically, it's a clever little tactic for the shop.
The shop had an "entry" fee for the chance to win the item. You had to pay $5.00 and there was somewhere around 20 entry spots. So the shop made $100.00 minus the cost to ship (let's say $5.00) so they made about $95.00. The items they make are found near the OBX (outerbanks) and so they really only needed to pay for glue and framing... I'd say they probably made about $70.00 give or take when all is said and done.
Clever, right?
Oh well, I won it. However, I am probably going to gift it to a friend for her birthday, shh don't tell her!

Thank You, though I am pretty sure I will end up giving it to my friend. She was the one who tagged me in it and her bedroom is beach themed. Her Birthday is in September, it will be part of the present I give her.

@LadyDuck Yes, once I get it, I'll take a picture f it and share here. Her bedroom has a tanish brown color on one wall and a blueish color on the other three.

Yes, it's a very smart thing for the store to do. They are a small business.
