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

I love Captiva Island. I love that an artist made shell beach art like this piece at the entrance to\u00a0Blind Pass beach.\u00a0Beach artist, Robert from NJ, made it for his wife for Valentine’s Day. So sweet! Obviously, I haven’t been there in over a week so I missed it. Shame on me! But thankfully he has been grooming it to keep it clean and neat for a whole week for her.. and for us so we get to enjoy it as well.<\/p>\n

I have another reason why “i Heart Captiva Island”….<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0Roma (MI) found a JUNONA!<\/p>\n

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

She said it was one of the first shells she found this morning near the jetty rocks. It wasn’t completely whole but it is perfect to wrap for a JUNONIA necklace<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0And that’s not it! Sara W found two (!) JUNONIAS at Blind Pass in the last week at Blind Pass as well. It’s so weird they are broken at the same exact spots but then again… perfect for necklaces<\/a><\/strong>! She posted this on iLoveShelling facebook page<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

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

Jessica (NY) found a piece of \u00a0JUONIA too. Maybe part of Roma’s or Sara’s?<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0Here’s Jessica with Steven and Kathryn this morning on the shell mound this morning…<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0John (NY) was working the pass side of the jetty and filled his shell bag full of FIGHTING CONCHS.<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0I had no idea the huge shell pile was back (and has been there for several days) and full of goodies! How did that happen and I didn’t hear a thing about it?? Mother Nature loves to play hide and seek with the seashells!<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0I found an assortment of treasures right away…<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0And a FLAT SCALLOP!<\/p>\n

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

While I was checking out everybody’s finds and the big shell mound, Robert was collecting more PEN SHELLS for another shell art project. We look forward to your next master piece!<\/p>\n
