Thank you for mentioning ethical shelling again! When I was in Sanibel I went into a shell store. Before looking at the shells though I asked the two ladies working there if the shells were ethically taken or(farmed). Was so disturbed when they both looked at me as if I were from Mars and said they had never heard of such a thing. Even the ones that were collected in Sanibel they say they didn't know. I left empty handed except for a hat that I needed. I'm happy that you are showing people a better way to collect and sell!
@SWFBeachLife3 жыл бұрын
I was horrified to find out that some shells are "harvested" and I know others who have quit making beach decor items because the shells they were buying weren't ethically collected. There is a shell shop on Sanibel that I went into (probably the same one you visited) and my husband and I bought rings and nothing else since I had no idea where the shells came from. I'll be sure to periodically mention this in future videos to keep people informed 🐚 Thanks so much for watching and coming along with me on my beach walk!

At 5:10 you find the albino lightning whelk... I noticed it had what appeared to be some major repair work in the upper shell area... it made the shell look a little out of balance and the bottom of the spire looked chipped or something, but that might have just been the lighting/glare on it. It was very beautiful, but clearly that critter would have had a harrowing story to tell.

Ugh - I'm so sorry you're on lockdown! I think a bunch of people found me during COVID when they wanted something different or were craving the outdoors. I'm glad I can at least get you to the beach virtually! I hope your lockdown ends soon!

That flat was gorgeous. Nice finds today. I did not see much Nakar though. I would love to have a bunch of Nakar to use in some craft projects. Thanks for taking us with you.

Yes that nacre really does scream "make me into something" doesn't it? It's amazing what beautiful creations snails can make!!!

LOVED watching your shelling on this beach! I only wish there was a way to make the shells you are seeing in slow motion, so we could better see what all is there. Too, when you show us a shell, could you still let us see the others around it while you show the one in your hand at the side? I think this life you lead is a perfectly beautiful life❤️

I have a wonderful life, and I am glad I've chosen to share a little slice of my joy with all! Thank you for this feedback. Perhaps I can shoot things a little different. I do think it would be nice to really see what else is around, other than the shell I choose to concentrate on and pick up. Let me see if I can remember next time I'm out shooting! 🙏🏼

Some of the names of shells escape me....like apple murex. Why apple? So much fun and so relaxing watching and listening to you. Who would of thought I would know the names of ocean dwelling creatures here in the foothills of the Rockies.
@SWFBeachLife3 жыл бұрын
There was another person who commented about learning the shell names and they too were landlocked. I don't know what it is about these things but I just want to know what their names are! Apple murex - why apple? That is a fantastic question and I am going to try to find out!

I'll go ahead and apologize for the early ones since they're not great, but I'm learning as I go and sharing everything I'm discovering along the way. Next week is going to be fun too - we're headed back to Kice Island and we're going to see tons of beautiful goodies!

@@SWFBeachLife I can't wait. And I live 5 mins from the beach. Not much shells. More seaweed. I have seen seashells hung in the trees though. We call them prayer or message trees. And you are right...they are beautiful. Here in Nova Scotia we don't get long shelling seasons. We get too hot and too cold (frozen). And I've never seen a sand dollar with holes in it. Cool.

The Atlantic cockle shells is pretty much the ONLY shells I’ve found when going to Flagler beach and Ormond beach Florida. I have a ton of the cockle shells but I so so so dream to have some of the shells you find. 🐚🤗

The gastropods are my favorites I think. The FFCs, olives, murex, moon snails - oh heck I just love them all! I grew up finding big ugly clam shells and that was it, so I'm over the moon at the goodies I now get to find. And so glad I can share!!
