\"i<\/a>I love shelling because it fills my soul with happiness when I find the smallest of shells like this sweet little juvie PEAR WHELK on the beach that I’ve circled in the photo with my big heart. It looked like there was only sand washing up on the inside of the jetty at Blind Pass yesterday…<\/p>\n

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

But I didn’t give up since the day was warm and beautiful and I had a few minutes just to take it all in. \u00a0I found a nice little shell pile to sift through…<\/p>\n

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

In that small pile, there was a beautiful FIGHTING CONCH. And laying right beside that CONCH was a nice size LETTERED OLIVE. Do you see it?<\/p>\n

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

I sifted a bit more and I found my sweet PEAR WHELK. That’s when I saw Dave and Peg from Cincinnati and he told me he a found his first JUNONIA this week! Wahoo! But he didn’t have it with him. Rasher-frasher! (What cartoon that was from??), \u00a0I wanted to see it. He was thrilled to show it off so they ran back to their place to get it! Ha! Fantastic! Here they are!<\/p>\n

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

This is Dave’s awesome JUNONIA that he found at this spot in the water right at the trough line. In the last week, I haven’t seen obvious big shell piles anywhere but everybody that has found nice shells has been hunting in the water just like Dave. He said there were only a few shells showing but he kept scooping at that spot and came up with this JUNONIA. Perseverance. Congratshellations!<\/p>\n

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

I love it because it has so much character! If only this shell could tell its story…<\/p>\n

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

Did you notice Peg has a shell in her hand too? She found a FULGURATOR OLIVE!!!! She actually found it a few weeks ago on the other side of the pass when we had the cold snap but since they went back to get Dave’s JUNONIA, she wanted to show me this too. AWESOME!!!!<\/p>\n

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

And within the last month, she found TWO GOLDEN OLIVES as well. Wowza! They have found some spectacsheller treasure in the last month. We had to shellebrate! Since this was yesterday (Tuesday, February 12), I shared my Fat Tuesday Mardi Gras beads with seashells, mermaids, lobsters and flip flops that Linda From Pensacola gave me. Thank you Linda! That’s so sweet! They went to great use since I had a great time sharing them all day long.<\/p>\n

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

So I hope you had a fabulous Fat Tuesday yesterday and will have a marvelous Valentines tomorrow!<\/p>\n
