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

All eleven of these ALPHABET CONES were found within four days of shelling this week along Sanibel’s West Gulf Drive <\/a><\/strong>by Wendy from West Palm Beach, FL. Talk about an eye for shelling! And she even found another one that wasn’t in that bunch. I’d say she is the CONE QUEEN.<\/p>\n

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

She found these FLORIDA CONES and COLORFUL MOON SHELLS too!<\/p>\n

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

But even when she isn’t lucky enough to find all of these CONE shells, she is still having fun picking up other shells\u00a0with her friends\u00a0to use as embellishments. Love this- they strung these shells around her straw hat. So cute!<\/p>\n

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

Yes, that hat is awfully cute, but these hats just stole my heart! LaDonna, Carla and Belinda were all sporting their iLoveShelling caps when I saw them on the same beach. Weehooo! Shelling Sistahs!<\/p>\n

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

We had the best time chatting it up when I spotted something pretty nice in Shelling Sistah Carla’s shell bag (you might recognize her name from her comments- Carla Knotts!). She found an excellent LIGHTNING WHELK.<\/p>\n

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

She said she was happy they were already finding lots of shells but even happier just be on Sanibel. It holds a special place in her heart and I could see she wanted to capture\u00a0every second on that beach and never let it go. She’s not just a shell seeker but a Sanibel seeker.<\/p>\n

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

Then I ran into our local friends Dick and Mary…..<\/p>\n

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

They look like they have golf clubs, don’t they? Belinda said Dick looked like he was the “Golfer of the Sea”. It would be appropriate since Clark plays golf with him every Sunday and both admitted they were better shellers than golfers.<\/p>\n

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

The Golfer of the Sea found a pretty nice SHARK’S EYE….<\/p>\n

\"Dick's<\/a><\/p>\n

I was tickled when they introduced me to Ernest Hemingway! Errrr, well, he looks like Papa anyway….. and has even won a look-a-like contest in Key West.<\/p>\n

\"Hemingway<\/a>

Tom, Linda, Dick and Mary<\/p><\/div>\n

It was an amazing day yesterday off beach access #7<\/a><\/strong> to find so many shells but the best thing was to meet many new friends and to see a few old ones too (and I dont mean in age! LOL).<\/p>\n
