Hi Pam-
Hope you and Clark have a happy and healthy New Year filled with smiles, love, laughter and of course SHELLS! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, time and enthusiasm through the years. Shellebrate each day!
Hi Pam-
Just noticed under #1 it states “2016”……. The years seem to blend together and fly by! LOL
Happy New Year! Thanks for the great year of posts. We are currently in freezing Vermont–decided to do a ski week this holiday. Brrrr. Coldest winter in 50 years. It’s something like -30 degrees C out there (-8 degrees F?). Planning to visit Florida in January and March. Can’t wait! In the meantime, I have SO MANY shells, I am going to start working on a huge mirror frame. Happy Shelling everyone!
Happy New Year 2018 everyone!
My favorite is the Queen Nautilus. :)
I love these “BEST OF” lists!
FREEZING OUR SHELLS OFF in Madison Wisconsin for the past month!
2 more days until we’re back to Venice and a visit to Sanibel next week!
Happy and healthy 2018 to all!
WISHING EVERYONE WELL FOR 2018, PRAYING THAT WE TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME IN MEETING CHALLENGES, AND MAY BE CONTINUE TO HAVE SAND IN OUR SANDALS!!!
Happy New Year Pam and Clark. Wish we could get down there, but health problems prevent us. It’s so cold here on LI-14 degrees!

Sending blessings to you and Clark for a Happy, Healthy and Shellatious New Year !!! Thanks for all that you do and share with our wonderful Shell Community. Keep up the good work and God Bless. Pam D. Venice, FL
I always love your year end faves, and in looking at these beautiful pictures, what a year 2017 was for you! Your #1 and #2 were my favorites as well… LOVE the stooping “7” in 2017! Thank you for sharing the beauty of Sanibel and all of your adventures with us. Happy New Year to you and Clark!
Oh my goodness the shell costume is adorable!! Beautiful finds, cannot wait to get back to Sanibel.
Hello! I was directed to your blog after my first adventure shelling this Christmas! I’ve been able to identify most of my shells/finds, but I do have a couple questions if you don’t mind answering. I have a few shells with a green tinge (in splotches) to them. Is there any way to get rid of this? I also have a type of sponge (I think) that I can’t identify. I’m not sure how to share the pictures, but I’m very interested in your recommendations! Thank you!
Has there been a post since December?
Heading to Sanibel in March! Missing your posts. Praying you are doing okay.
Hi Pam-I’m an avid follower of your blog, you inspired the first sisters trip to Sanibel 5 years ago! I notice you haven’t posted in a while and I hope all is well with you and your family. Sending good thoughts whether it be for a well deserved break or something less happy.
Hi Pam:
Hubby and I have traveled each of the past 24 winters to the Sanibel area. It is so wonderful there. I loved following you year-round on the blog. We could not travel this year due to illness. Really miss your postings – especially since we are from New England and cannot see the beautiful Gulf of Mexico beach for ourselves this winter. Hope you, Clark, and all of your families are ok and we will all hear from you soon.
Beginning to worry about you! No posts for so long. Praying you and Clark are doing well.
I really hope you are doing well. I really miss your posts. Have a wonderful year and I hope to get to see you sometime again.

Hoping and praying you and Clark are okay. Having seen nothing this year, something must be up. Praying for peace, healing, and strength for whatever you may be going thru.

Well, both Clark and I have had some health/life issues – we’re fine now but I feel like we got a wake up call- ’cause we ain’t gettin’ any younger haha. So I’m taking a little time off to regroup, enjoy whats in front of me (without a phone or camera as the center of my view as it has been for 8 years) and figure out what the next chapter of our lives will be (beachcombing will always be a part of our lives). I’m not saying I’m done with my blog…. I’m in the midst of redoing it yet again… but as an artist, I need to feed my creative soul with some healthy time for just me. Thank you for your kind post and I’m sure my next chapter of life will still be spreading shellove because of thoughtful people like you :)
Wish I was there. Getting very cold here now in the UK.
