Any time we combine shells…<\/p>\n

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

with low tide…<\/p>\n

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

with a beautiful uninhabited beach…<\/p>\n

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

with awesome shellers on an iLoveShelling cruise with Sight Sea-R Cruises<\/strong><\/a>… it’s a blast!<\/p>\n

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

Along with our Shellabaloo folks I introduced you to on my last post<\/strong><\/a>, it was so much fun for everybody on our cruise on Wednesday who was anywhere around Stana from Illinois to see her overwhelmed excitement when she found a huge empty LIGHTNING WHELK after arriving on Big Hickory Island. It was so much fun to meet you and to see your enthusiasm. We talked about how to clean a shell like that but to make it easier, here is the link for the tutorial I told you about… CLICK HERE<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>Congratshellations Stana!<\/p>\n

It was also such a treat to have seasoned shellers\u00a0Peg, Dave<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>(Ohio), Karen and Warren (Sanibel) on our shelling trip…<\/p>\n

\"Peg,<\/a><\/p>\n

These are just a few of their fave shells they found.<\/p>\n

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

Mary and Amy (Ohio) were on an ANGEL WING hunt…<\/p>\n

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

I’d say they were very successful, wouldn’t you?<\/p>\n

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

Ahhhh… it was such a pleasure to meet cutie shellootie family Diana, Charles, Steve and Katey (from Ohio as well- hmmmm-lots of shellers from Ohio)<\/p>\n

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

Their family CONE count was at 7 but I think Charles found most of them- he definitely has a great shellers eye!<\/p>\n

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

Look who else joined us! Shelling Sister Muriel with her husband Ted. They both warm my heart.<\/p>\n

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

Muriel loves those JINGLE SHELLS about as much as I do.<\/p>\n

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

Some of you might know “r.g.\u00a0stein” from some of his comments here on iLoveShelling.com… he was on our shell trip too. It was so edshellcational for some of the other shellers to see this huge live HORSE CONCH he found in the water. He shared the sight then placed it gently back in the water where he found it. Thanks for your gifts r.g..<\/p>\n

Visiting from Iowa, Brent and Pam (you can imagine why I’m a little partial to her- heehee) displayed their shells on a blue jacket so they look like gorgeous jewelry on velvet. Love your shellicious sea gems! Their\u00a0shells are the ones in the featured first photo.<\/p>\n

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

Sweet Lynn from Tennessee was happy to collect a BABY’S EAR shell on the trip.<\/p>\n

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

Mindy and Nancy (Pennsylvania) had so much to share on the trip and also got so much in return… look at that bag-o-shells!<\/p>\n

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

It’s always fun to see the different types of shells that different people see and collect.<\/p>\n

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

It was such a fun and successful shelling trip on the Sight Sight-R<\/strong><\/a> with many treasures…<\/p>\n

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

With spectacsheller people and shellicious sea gems.<\/p>\n
