What's the best way to shellebrate National Seashell Day on June 21, 2017? By going to the nearest beach in the morning then heading to the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum from 12:30 to 1:30! I'm doing my first book signing of my silly little brand new shell book called "Pam Rambo's Guide To Speaking Shellanguage" on the biggest day of the year dedicated to the shelling community at the best seashell place on the planet - the Shell Museum. Oh wait... You can't be at the Shell Museum on National Seashell Day? Then I have some ideas for you.... Have your own shelluau party! Sort your shells and shelldazzle your dinner table. Decorate your front porch in fabshellous shell baskets. Invite your friends over for a shellebration! Make shell crafts. Make seashell jewelry. Take a bunch of shellfies and post them to facebook ans tag iLoveShelling facebook page- I'd love to see them. Any sort of shellnanigans will do! And the best idea yet ... Order my shellarious …

Speaking Shellanguage for Scotch Bonnet, Junonia and Rock Snails
Boom Shellalaka! Shelby found a SCOTCH BONNET on Sanibel's Lighthouse Beach. It's abshellutely gorgeous. (Her name should be spelled Shellby! heehee) After 5 days of a non-stop rain storm, there were lots of shells rolling in with every tide in this little stretch of the beach. (You can see the Sanibel causeway in the background) Debi (she's now a volunteer Shell Museum shell ambassador :) ) along with her friends Eden, Wendy and Ansley found an unbelievable, very rare piece of beach bling. ROCK SNAIL They said they found something they couldn't identify then showed me this spectacsheller beach find. I took one look then my jaw dropped ... Holy Cowrie! It was the most brilliantly colored MOLLUSK EGG CASE cluster I've ever seen. It's the first time I had seen this particular egg so it puzzled me but I kept thinking it's got to be in the MUREX family. Maybe a CABRITS MUREX? It was no longer viable being washed up on the beach so I encouraged them to take it …
Practicing The Sanibel Stoop On Cayo Costa
Every single time I step on the beach of Cayo costa... its different. Its truly fascinating to see it change so drastically and which part of the beach the shells pile up. The last few months, we had to walk down to the right to find the shells washed up and before that we found them to the left. This time as soon as we stepped on the beach on our iLoveShelling cruise with Captiva Cruises, we saw loads of shells right in front of us. Its so much fun to see the different shells everybody finds. Lots of Sanibel Stoops ... Or Cayo Conch Crouch? heehee There's enough for everybody! SUNRAY VENUS, ANGEL WINGS, JEWELBOXES, CONCHS, SHARKS EYES... And SAND DOLLARS Such fun times! Even a surprising live KINGS CROWN! (Of course safely put back in the water) Yahoo! Fabshellous LIGHTNING WHELK totally empty. Good to see Brin and her amazing shelling family again. She's an amazing artist so she has such …
