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

Santa came early to my house this year! How did he know that I have been jonesing for the bivalve book Seashells of Southern Florida by Mikkelsen & Bieler for an entire year?\u00a0\u00a0It’s a very expensive book so I could never pull the trigger on buying it for myself.\u00a0Well Santa must have known my dilemma and whispered the idea in the ear of thoughtful friends……. MurexKen<\/strong> <\/a>and MurexAlice!<\/p>\n

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

OMG! I still can’t believe it!\u00a0Really, I can’t thank yall enough!\u00a0They invited Clark and me over to their lovely gulf front condo (check it out! They rent it out throughout the year when they aren’t here- CLICK HERE<\/a><\/strong>) to present this incredibly thoughtful gift. I’ve already put the book to good use! And thanks to my brother Doug, for the beautiful\u00a0Christmas\u00a0flower arrangement we’ve gotten so much enjoyment already too- it makes for a gorgeous backdrop for photos, right?<\/p>\n

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

Here’s a sneak peak of some of the shells I’ve collected but not identified…until now. I’ll post photos of the shells I learned tomorrow along with another special treat I received! It makes me so happy because now I will be able to share more information with you. It makes it so much more enjoyable to learn together. Merry Christmas!<\/p>\n
