Now that you’ve met the members of the “Maiden Voyage” (cute name, Patty!) for the Shellebaloo<\/strong><\/a> on my last post<\/strong><\/a>, it’s time for a little seashell show and tell. I have 2 personal favorite shells found during our 3 days together (other than the LONG-SPINED STAR SHELL<\/strong><\/a> of course). The first shell is Carolyn’s absolutely perfect ALPHABET CONE…<\/p>\n

\"carolyn<\/a><\/p>\n

And the other one is Sara’s COLORFUL MOON shell. There was questions about it being called a GAUDY NATICA so I explained that I used to call it that too but since the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum calls it the COLORFUL MOON, I figured I should start trying to call it that. Any way, here’s Sara and her beautiful shell…<\/p>\n

\"sara<\/a><\/p>\n

Isn’t it beautiful? She told me this was her favorite find of the week. Good one!<\/p>\n

\"sara's<\/a><\/p>\n

I asked everybody else to get out their favorite shells to see which shells made them happiest so we gathered at the gazebo at our home base of the beautiful Island Inn<\/strong><\/a> to have a show and tell. Carolyn and Mike added a few to their faves along with her ALPHIE…<\/p>\n

\"carolyn<\/a><\/p>\n

Amy showed me her teeny tiny juvie TURKEY WING…<\/p>\n

\"amy<\/a><\/p>\n

Karen, Helen and Jackie chose an ALPHABET CONE, TOP SHELL, LACE MUREX (notice that sweet little pink nose) and a KING’S CROWN…<\/p>\n

\"karen<\/a><\/p>\n

Sally and Jim collected a beautiful assortment of different shells to name a few like the green cap filled with TUSK SHELLS, a BRUISED NASA, TINTED CANTHARUS, WHITE MELAMPUS, COFFEE MELAMPUS, a SEA PEARL, a CLOUDY PERIWINKLE (inside the BUTTERCUP LUCINE), and a WENTLETRAP. Nice, huh?<\/p>\n

\"sally<\/a><\/p>\n

Traci and Rob found the SANIBEL SIX<\/strong><\/a>…<\/p>\n

\"traci<\/a><\/p>\n

But when I asked Traci what her one favorite shell was, she told me it was definitely the double OYSTER…<\/p>\n

\"double<\/a><\/p>\n

JoAnn and Sid’s favorites were the RIBBED CANTHARUS, COFFEE COFFEE BEAN TRIVIA and ANGEL WING…<\/p>\n

\"joann<\/a><\/p>\n

Isn’t this fun seeing which shells make people happy? Well, this next one made me very happy and made me laugh out loud! Maureen laughed then told us that her favorite shells were speaking to her… maybe by aliens or through hieroglyphics on CROSS BARRED VENUS shells. LOL Now that’s a gal that has a great sense of humor!<\/p>\n

\"maureen<\/a><\/p>\n

This is quite a seashell collection by Kathy and Bill for their favorites. Love, Love that WORMIE (WORM SHELL) and ALPHIE for sure! And I saw that piece of CORAL in her shell bag and “may” have influenced her to put that in her faves too. (oops! but I was so drawn to it! So pretty!). Of course I love the others too… NUTMEG, LACE MUREX, BANDED TULIP, BUBBLE, FIG, SEA PEARL and angel wing.<\/p>\n

\"kathy<\/a><\/p>\n

Arabelle chose a BABY’S EAR, WHITE MELAMPUS and a SEA PEARL as her favorites. I am so tickled she found that BABY’S EAR!<\/p>\n

\"arabelle<\/a><\/p>\n

Last but not least was the awesome LONG-SPINED STAR SHELL Joe and Patty found along with some of their other faves… a PURPLISH TAGELUS, TUSK and a KING’S CROWN to name a few.<\/p>\n

\"joe<\/a><\/p>\n

 I love how easy it was for everybody to pick through all of their shells to narrow it down to the ones that meant the most to them. Each person sees something different in each shell whether it is color, pattern, markings, size, shape or just the location of where they found it. They were all so happy with what they found!<\/p>\n

\"sunrise<\/a><\/p>\n

PS- Stay tuned because I have a surprise for you on my next post! We might have another get together soon!<\/p>\n
