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

It still amazes me to walk the beach to see miles of seashells lining the coast…<\/p>\n

Joann from New Jersey remembered her mother used to make jewelry from the shells she collected on Sanibel so wanted to come back to do the same.<\/p>\n

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

Combing the beach back and forth in front of Island Inn Sanibel<\/strong><\/a>, she found BANDED TULIPS, FIGHTING CONCH, OLIVES, LIGHTNING WHELKS, COQUINAS, CALICO SCALLOPS, APPLE MUREXES \u00a0and a sweet colorful NUTMEG.<\/p>\n

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

Her brother Harry and his wife Joann\u00a0(easy to remember!)\u00a0<\/span>from Tampa were thrilled to find so many shells they remembered as kids.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sandy McFadin had commented on my iLoveShelling Facebook page<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0last week\u00a0<\/span>asking what the shelling was like at Island Inn. Hmmm I hadn’t been in a while so this is for you Sandy! And… <\/span>Sarah the ShellAnimal<\/strong><\/a> had requested another video so I started shooting a video at the Island Inn before the rain came in to chase us all off the beach. While I panned around to the shore, I caught Harry walking towards me then stopping to pick up a shell. Then he called out “Hey, I found four OLIVES!”<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Come beach combing with me and you’ll see why I had to meet Harry and the Joanns. Click on the video…<\/p>\n

The evening before this, Clark and I walked this same stretch of beach for sunset where Clark found a perfect FLAT SCALLOP and we had fun watching all of the birds like this beautiful SNOWY EGRET…<\/p>\n

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

A BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER….<\/p>\n

\"Black-bellied<\/a><\/p>\n

And a WILLET…<\/p>\n

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

We also loved adding to this shell tree.<\/p>\n

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

I made a wish when I added my shell…<\/p>\n

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

It was a perfect way to end a beautiful day…<\/p>\n

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

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

Wishing upon a shell shrub :)<\/p>\n

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

With a beautiful beach, shells, sunsets and lively wildlife… it’s the perfect place to gather people who love shelling to join me for a 4 day shellathon during Shellabaloo! It’s coming up soon so don’t miss out for our April 24 event! CLICK HERE<\/strong><\/a> for more details. I love to meet new shellers!<\/p>\n
