Spiny Jewelbox

Sanibel is a jewel box filled seashells and beach treasures which are the best jewels I can think of. On most beach combing days, you will find a little treasure…. the SPINY JEWELBOX. The JEWELBOX above was an exceptional find for us since there are so many long spines that didn’t get broken off.  Well I say “us”… Super Sheller Clark found this one.

I found this one which only has a couple of spines still attached (any spines still intact and I’m tickled). Just look at that color!

Even when the spines have been broken off, it’s still a nice find (in my opinion) when the two halves are attached.

For all of you up north experiencing this very challenging weather, please keep warm and be safe! I’m thinking of all of you and sending you warmth and sunshine…. if only for a couple of minutes.
