2015 has been an incredible year with many amazing days on our local beaches of Florida as well as exploring the beaches and shells around the world. It’s always so much fun to be able to share the love of shelling so I want to thank YOU for such a wonderful year so I hope you got a few smiles from some of my posts this past 12 months. Let’s revisit a few of my faves and hopefully some of your too.

Hi Skip and Tina- hope to see you too! Happy new year
What a great year!
I hope New Year 2016 will be good for everyone. :)
It really was a great year- so good to see you while you were here, Susan, and happy you had a great year too- here’s to 2016!
Thank you for your top ten – fantastic!! We enjoyed them very much as we do all of your posts. We will be spending 3 months in Naples this winter and plan to visit Sanibel/Captiva at least once a week. Our shell bucket list has on it to join you for an “I Love Shelling Cruise”. Blessing for the New Year to you and Clark.
Shelley (Shell Grannie) & Mike
Hi Shelley! Ahhhh… I love Naples too- Hope to see you on one of the cruises- we always have so much fun!
Happy New Year! I hope 2016 will be a fabshellous year. In your post “Beachcombing the abacos Bahamas” You wrote “we found some amazing shells and gorgeous drops of colorful sea glass above a photo that has five of the same type of shell. I think this particular shell is stunning and I was wondering what it’s “name” is. Could you identify it for me at your convenience? Thank you again for your posts, I hope to return to sanibel in the new year!
Hi Samantha, if I’m looking at the same shells you are asking about … It’s the long-spined star shell. It a light tan and sort of looks like a sundial? I love those and They were every where!! Happy new year 🎉
What a great list! It’s hard to choose which post is my favorite! Each beachcombing adventure is a blessing and may we all be prosperous in shells in 2016! :)
Happy New Year Pam and Clark. These are great choices for the year, but I’m having trouble looking at #2. I’m using my nook and when I click on it I get #3 the sand dollar one instead of your Japan site. Is this something on your end? Good shelling for the new year. Pat
Oh Pat, What would I do without you? omigosh- I put the wrong link in there! Well its fixed now thanks to you- you are seriously a doll. I hope y’all are in better health and feeling good for the new year. xoxo pam
