Shelling... Beach walk LOST IN SHELL HEAVEN Finding Beach Treasures

[@cathyjillard4927]

I too love the beach, the tranquility, the waves, sand and shells. it's really my happy place where I spend time enjoying time with Jesus and all of His creation. That time fills my soul and lifts my spirit. Jesus spent a lot of time on the beach with the disciples so it was a special place for Him too. Thanks for taking us along. Life is better at the beach with Jesus! :)

[@SaltyReflections]

🙌 Absolutely! 🙏💙🌊👣🐚

I’ve been in the hospital with double pneumonia for 8 days and I’ve missed watching your videos! I love all the videos but the shelling and sharks teeth are FANTASTIC!! Thanks for all you do!

Sending prayers! 🙏

You’re sweet Stephanie. I love your thoughts. I love the shells like you do.❤🐚

[@veronicahuddleston7060]

Thank you so much for sharing your walk with us. I love walking on the beach and searching for treasures. I wish that I could do it more than once a year. ❤

[@SaltyReflections]

You are so welcome! We are glad to have you join us! I wish you got to enjoy it for yourself more, too, but it is our pleasure to have you join us as often as you like!

[@annadler9036]

The beach is place to be. Thanks for the wonderful day.

[@SaltyReflections]

You're very welcome. Thanks for coming along!

thank you for acknowledging all those little lost lives. ❤

[@SaltyReflections]

Absolutely! 😭🥺🙏

[@HGB365]

I only get to the beach once, sometimes twice a year if we're lucky, so I really enjoy going along with you on your videos. They definitely help with the beach/ocean/shelling withdrawals. So glad I'm not the only one who goes for my shells as an escape from this crazy world and life's drama, they are my peaceful place. The memories of finding them, the excitement/thrill I felt, where, etc. Even when I can't get to the beach, I still have them ~ and your videos of course! Thank you for taking the time to do these.

[@SaltyReflections]

Exactly! 🐚🥰 A little mental escape! Thanks for adventuring with us! 🌊👣

[@gingermackeen5741]

Yep. I saw it! Funny you asked about the crab shells. I have a whole display of them!😊 You're right! Sometimes you do need a beach day. We love you guys too!❤️ Well. Steph, I have started to slow down on collecting shells. I just don't have the room for them. But I do like to pick them up and look at them or take pictures. I certainly know what you mean by peace of mind on the beach. It was very healing after a couple of deaths in the family. And, I too feel closer to God out there. YFSS is looking forward to part 3!❤️❤️

[@SaltyReflections]

🧐🐚😁 I say that I'm going to do better. Cause we are definitely short on room too in our tiny house. But I have a hard time turning away from the whelks or sand dollars - 😬 they are like French fries to me, I'm hooked hopelessly! 🙃🤣🍟🩵🐚🥰 The struggle is REAL! 🐚😵‍💫🤪

I probably would be a hoarder too, but I don't live near water. Plus, I can't walk, so I guess that's a thing too. Shells are so beautiful. They make me think how beautiful life can be.

[@SaltyReflections]

Well, we are glad to take you virtual shelling anytime you want! They are so beautiful ... they make the day a little better for sure! 🤩

[@margaretbabb8131]

great information

[@SaltyReflections]

Thanks

[@pammager7135]

Stefanie, I used to pick up any shell I came across. Having to carry them all the way was pretty hard but worth it! Could Oliver drop you off at the farthest point with the wagon and go drop the boat at the usual place? That way you'd only have to walk one way!

[@SaltyReflections]

Yeah, probably, but then I wouldn't cover as much beach by walking it both directions 😄 ↔️ & would only be spending half the time shelling with you guys. 😉

I love you all and appreciate you taking us shelling with you both. I needed this more than you know. Next time you go would you please take a long stop and just let me see the ocean. You don’t know how much I need it. I’m not able to make it to the beach right now. My heart has gotten worse and I need a pacemaker/defibrillator and I am in a battle trying to get disability I’m close to being able to get on transplant list and all I want to do is see the ocean. I’m weak and dizzy because my blood pressure is low. They took me off of my medication except fluid pill and one blood pressure medication that I need to keep my heart working better. They said I am having opposite effects than a normal heart patient they usually have high blood pressure and mine is normal. They said I’m a rare case. I’m fighting hard because I want to go to the beach

Oh no! We are so sorry to hear this! 😔 Prayers for your healing with the Lord's will! 🙏 It is our pleasure to take you along as often as you can join us for our adventures!

So what do you do with all your shells? I love beach therapy ❤

[@sandrajenkinsgre.b8755]

We lived on the Oregon coast for 20 plus years. I would’ve been so happy to see that many shells on our beaches. I would spend hours hunting shells and driftwood. I’d take three old hippie bags with and fill them. I miss it so much. I have to travel six hours to get back there now, it’s one of my bucket lists to take a trip to here and Florida. My sister and I would race on the beach to be the first to find the next best shell😅😅

[@SaltyReflections]

Just collect them. Sounds like a lot of fun & good "Salty Reflections" 💭🌊🐚👣 with your sister! 🤗

[@SaltyReflections]

We do, on occasion. We have an eBay store (link in video description) with a few listed.

Y'all need a his and hers wagon so you don't have to run Oliver down 🤣

He said NO WAY! 😆

Yeah, I bet there are some good treasures to be found. We find 50 cal bullet casings occasionally.

Where did you exactly in the beach did you find this many shells? My daughter really likes looking at shells.

[@SaltyReflections]

We are along the northern shore. Happy Shelling!

[@pammager7135]

Must be hard on you pulling the wagon and holding the camera and looking for treasures? Oliver should be next to you pulling the wagon. But I guess he gets excited looking for shells. My sister was always way ahead of me too.

[@SaltyReflections]

I get all caught up in looking at EVERYTHING! 👀🧐 I am always too slow for him when we are treasure hunting. 🏃‍♂️🚶🏼‍♀️

[@rosekellar-greene869]

Hello!! Do you make anything with your shells??? Or sell them? Or do you just use them for decor like I do???

[@SaltyReflections]

We mainly just use them for decor. We have a few shells listed in our eBay store but really just because our Saltaholics ask to buy things at times. We are truly shell hoarders! 🤗🐚🐚🐚🐚🤗

[@tashaoliver6317]

I would love to be on a beach walk with you both! But not going to happen. I live in California

Do you have to go to that beach by boat or can you get there by car as well? You guys are great about showing us what you find and some education too . Thanks

[@SaltyReflections]

This beach is only accessible by boat. Thanks for coming along for another adventure! 🌊👣🐚

[@cathymaxcy3391]

Do you do something to help keep the spines on the urchins?

[@SaltyReflections]

We just rinse them well to get the sand off & put them in a glass container for display. As long as they aren't handled much, the spines will mostly stay on.

[@pateicialane4740]

What do you do with them? Sell them? ♥️🇬🇧

[@SaltyReflections]

We have an enormous collection! We are 💯 shell hoarders! We do sell some occasionally by request of our Saltaholics (KZbin family) - link in video description to our eBay store. But we don't gather shells with the intention of selling, I would keep them ALL for myself if it weren't for our Saltaholics asking for a Salty Reflections treasure sometimes. 🤪😉🐚🤷🏼‍♀️🐚😵‍💫🥰 Other than that, we gift some to people we know or meet. 🎁🐚 We also give a lot away as channel prizes/giveaways at times. 🏆🐚

Yes, we sure do! Thanks for shelling with us!

[@MargaretMartin-z6c]

I have looked and looked for the video showing the display of your shells at your home, but I cannot find it listed. Can you do a link

[@SaltyReflections]

There isn't just one specifically about our shell displays. Just randomly, when we have videoed in or around our home during different videos, we would show them while we were yapping. 🗣🗣🗣🐚🐚🐚

I love watching your videos even though I don't comment very often.We collect collect rocks on our beach in Oregon. The shells aren't all that spectacular. . I love nature and watching the garden grow and canning and preserving the harvest as well. There's a Falcon nest in a giant pine tree across the road from our house and I like watching them. There's living creatures everywhere. The deer and the turkeys that visit and bring their babies in the Spring. It's all so much fun. For me. This is the real world. The rest of it well. It can just stay somewhere else.
