We had a shell of a good time every single minute this week during the SHELLABALOO<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>starting at the Island Inn<\/strong><\/a>!! It was an unbelievable shellapalooza! The weather was gorgeous with the DOLPHINS coming out to greet us.<\/p>\n

The shelling was terrific.<\/p>\n

But most of all, my new fabulous friends were an absolute joy to be with and an amazing group to share our love for shelling together. Honestly, I haven’t come down from the high I felt while bonding with each and every one of these awesome shellers. So I have to introduce each one to you before we get to the rest of our shelladventure.<\/p>\n

Of course you already met Joe and Patty from my last post (CLICK HERE to see<\/strong><\/a>) because of Joe’s macdaddy find of the LONG-SPINED STAR SHELL…<\/p>\n

Now that you’ve met this awesome group of shellers, tomorrow I’ll show you some of the cool shells and BEACH BLING they found! Fun! Fun! Fun!!!<\/p>\n

Oh but wait…. if you are in the Sanibel area, tomorrow’s negative low tide (-1.1) is in the morning around 7am. That is a really low tide! That means so much more of the beach will be exposed to make it easier to spot more shells. You’ll even get to see what live mollusks look like. Just make sure you leave any live shell where you found it. We want them to breed so they make more beautiful seashells so we can enjoy them forever!<\/p>\n
