I've just discovered your chanel and am obsessed! I grew up by the beach in Santa Monica, California. I was there 360 days a year! I'd run down after a storm and look for shells. When I moved away, I took my whole collection back to the beach and gave it all back. It was a joy to watch children discovering the shells all along the waters edge. I've been to Port Charlotte and lucked into a post storm time. I went crazy picking thru so many varieties of shells I'd never found before! I mailed 2 boxes home and have them in glass jars, like you do. They are my treasures! Looking forward to my next trip out, next year. I'm saving your posts with the maps. I really appreciate that touch! Thank you for the enjoyment I get from watching your posts! Susan from Susanville, Cy

I have a 5-gallon bucket of shells that I need to bring back to the beach. I'm going to dump and wait to see who discovers them! You reminded me of my girlfriend who came for a visit earlier this year and she couldn't fit all her shells in her suitcase so I had to mail some to her. I get it! I never knew I was going to be so interested in shells. Once that shell bug bites you I think the infection is for life! Thank you for coming along with me on my beach journeys!

I love them all! I do the same with my shells. I pretty much have them separated by where I have found them and in various glass jars and bowls. I have a huge bowl that was my Grandmothers favorite crystal serving dish, full of the shells and coral I found in the Dominican Republic. I can look back at each container and think about my many shelling adventures ❤️

A couple trips later, I had found the most gorgeous caramel colored FFC (FFC’s are his favorite) replaced his band and put it on his pillow. I said “look what I found”! Love you idea of separating those yet to be identified…. I think I need to adopt that method of separation…. Thank you for the idea!

I love your shell collection. The lantern is a great idea! I also keep my shells in glassware. Hubs and I usually go thrifting and look for used glassware. Some I have mixed and some I separate by shell. I also have 3 large shadow boxes that I’ve put some of our favorites and miniatures in. We have shells in the living room, the guest bedroom and our bedroom. I believe it’s safe to say we’re shell addicts. 😂 But, hey! It could be worse right?

There are definitely worse addictions! I have seen people that have found printer’s letter drawers (like the letters for printing presses) and they put certain sized shells in each of the openings.

Hello, I am a collector of rare, unusual and shells that are plentiful. I take pictures of my shells and write where they came from and if I bought them how much I paid. I also have little containers and each one is labeled and so are my glass jars. If I have a bigger shell I label it inside. This way if someone sees my collection they know what it is. Seashells are beautiful and rewarding to collect but even those who are amateurs they should know what they have. You are not an amateur. I love seeing what you find. Thank you for showing your collection. Trudy

May I just say THANK YOU again for my shells! I never win anything so this was a real treat made especially meaningful bc I knew you found each one on walks I probably shared with you. Surprised that adult FFC's were so small but love both of mine - buttery yellow and burgundy red. The juveniles were also really neat and added to the ones I found on my visits to Boca Grande many, many years ago; love them. Mini's, fabulous. Crowned conch was very special bc I didn't have one. Sanddollars, calico scallops, olives, spiky jewelboxes, etc. All so wonderful. So, many thanks. Love seeing your collection. The fact that you found all of yours and didn't buy bunches...marvelous. Take care. Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy beach time. P

If you had asked me a few months ago that would be a hard question to answer but currently the shell that I'm jazzed about is my "golden" banded cone. It's so rare, I didn't even know it existed! In case you happen to miss that episode, here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/baurd3imodKMeLs

You show such restraint for your hobby. I was thinking that with all of the shells that you pick up that they would be all over your house in all sorts of ways. Do you give shells away or take them back to the beach if you're not going to keep them ?

When I bring shells home I keep a few, a put some to the side to sell and the rest go back to the beach. I have a 5-gallon bucket that I need to recycle!

Hello Again, I am watching video for second time. For the jars that have the same shells I would put a label with shell name such as scallops, olives, etc. For the bigger shells I put a label right on them. For shells in a slotted container I put name of shells with each shell slot.

Hello! New follower here and I've been going through all your videos 🙂 I've always had a fascination with sea shells and my husband's family lives in Florida and recently, I got my first experience with looking for sea shells! I'm super jealous of your collection! It's absolutely beautiful!!!

I have been shelling for over 50yrs. Sanibel shells 🐚 are better . Yet I live close to St. Augustine Florida and at Matanzas Inlet I find so many 🐚. I display my shells in my house in beautiful glass jars. And since I have so many I tend to have them in Rubbermaid containers separated in plastic bags.

I'm a little picky about the shells I keep and it's probably a good thing or I'd need a bigger home! I'm hoping to take a visit to St. Augustine one of these days. I'd love to see the city and check out a beach or two while I'm there 🐚

I also keep my favorite shells in a plastic partitioned box. The rest of my collection, I keep in small glass jam jars on the shelf together with a few much bigger shells.

Hi fellow shell lover! 💖 I love your collection. You are very choosy and take the bright colors....Im sort of the opposite. I scream when you pass over a large bank of white shells. I could sift through pristine white clam shells, sea scallops, angel wings, babys ears, etc. Something about the clean look I love. Not saying I dont have a very large conk shell in my display cabinet, white on the outside bright pink on the inside. Lets hit the beach. 😁🐚

Did you see my White Sea shells picture frame video yet? I had been saving white shells, faded, chipped - anything white to add to the frame. And in this video I forgot to show my beautiful bowl of white shells! Angel wings, baby ears, super spiney jewel boxes. I'll share them next time! Oh, here's the link to the white picture frame if you haven't seen it yet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmq4eqmnobStna8
