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

As beach combers, we all have different reasons why we like to walk the beach in search of shells, flotsam, jetsam and other beach bling. That’s why we all enjoy different things on the beach to collect as souvenirs or to capture in our minds to remember in our hearts.<\/p>\n

Hanging out for 4 days with the lovely, caring\u00a0and oh-so interesting folks at Shellabaloo<\/strong><\/a> was a wonderful experience for all of us to learn our\u00a0commonalities and also to learn from each other through our differences. I started our journey tying made OLIVE shell bracelets to tie Sharing and comparing shell collections at the end of the day has been a tradition for over 100 years at Island Inn on Sanibel<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>so of course we carried on that tradition at Shellabaloo. We had so much fun on our last night for Shell ‘N Tell as we shared some of our found treasures as each person displayed their faves.<\/p>\n

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

It was so much fun to see Kristen’s “K” shells, \u00a0Elaine’s gorgeous mosaic mini shell art and quilter Cathy’s patchwork shell design.<\/p>\n

Christy made a shell tree scene (with an awesome WORMIE as the trunk)<\/p>\n

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

As you can see, everybody found something different that made them happy- Katherine showed us her absolute favorites, Janet made a cute JINGLE SEA HORSE and Travis loved lots of the bling.<\/p>\n

I loved\u00a0looking at Robin, Bobbie, Karen and Katy shells as they showed us their favorites of each species they found…<\/p>\n

\"Shellabaloo<\/a>I was so touched to see that one of Bonnie’s special finds was the perfect DOSINIA shell with a natural hole so she could use it as a necklace along with her sterling silver pendant she received from SeaLife By Congress.\u00a0Bonnie exchanged the certificate for this cutie PELICAN charm!<\/p>\n

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

Sealife By Congress<\/strong><\/a> was so generous to give everybody at Shellabaloo a\u00a0$25 gift certificate for their store on Sanibel as well as all of the other shellers on our Sight Sight-R cruis<\/strong><\/a>e.<\/p>\n

\"SLBC<\/p>\n

I had one more surprise gift on our last night together. Clark and I chose one Shell ‘N Tell display that “spoke to us”\u00a0about the shells and about our time during Shellabaloo. The prize was\u00a0my new Whelk Of Wonder canvas gallery wrap. \u00a0 It’s one of my favorite photos Ive taken over the years while combing the beaches of Sanibel so I decided to finally do something with it. We gave\u00a0it to Elaine- Congratshellations! Your mosaic shell display was abshellutely amazing.<\/p>\n
