An amazing group of 24 shellers have gotten together from all over the country (and even Canada and Cuba!) to share the Shellabaloo 2 shelling experience on Sanibel and Captiva! It all started last night with cocktails and fabulous dinner at Island Inn Sanibel to share in our excitement for the next few days of our shelling adventure. Our dreams came true after seeing the shellacious shell pile waiting for us at Blind Pass Captiva this morning.<\/p>\n

There were oodles of shells waiting to be uncovered. Terri found a gold mine of goodies all in one spot. She found the Sanibel Six<\/strong><\/a> in less than an hour!<\/p>\n

Then I heard that familiar little yelp… you know, that one when someone finds something really good. Susan (from GTMO Cuba!) found an ALPHABET CONE!<\/p>\n

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

Shelling Sistah Lisa (NJ) found her own seashell honey hole right near the jetty rocks…<\/p>\n

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

She found a WENTLETRAP! We find them often on Sanibel but rarely on Captiva so this was a really good find there. She also found a FLAT, WORMIES, a KEYHOLE LIMPET, and WHELKS…<\/p>\n

Tom plucked a beautiful BANDED TULIP out of a scoop of shells he was sifting and Sharene matched him with an awesome NUTMEG…<\/p>\n

Nice, huh?<\/p>\n

After a picnic lunch, we moved on to shell at Gulfside City Park to find huge wrack lines of shells and BEACH BLING<\/a><\/strong>. I think Rusty and Donna love Beach Bling as much as I do!<\/p>\n

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

They found a purple SEA WHIP with two ONE-TOOTH SIMNIAS<\/strong><\/a> on it!<\/p>\n

Along with finding lots of other goodies, Pat’s (Boca Raton) fave was this delicate PAPER FIG…<\/p>\n

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

These photos are only the tip of the iceberg of the shells found today and only a few of the spectasheller folks I’ve had the privilege of hanging out with the last 2 days.<\/p>\n

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

The Shellabaloo 2 will continue for two more days of shell filled fun so I will have lots more photos and introductions to make of my new found shelling buddies. If the weather and shell piles continue like today, we are in for another exshellent day in store for us tomorrow. I’m psyched!<\/p>\n
