Not many shells were to be found on the beach at Blind Pass Sanibel yesterday evening….but we sure were finding them coming in with the waves.
I ended up finding a very nice sampling of the Sanibel Six ….
We only saw a few other people on the beach to share the gold with so it was a pleasure to hang out and talk with Lynda from Palm City, Florida.
Diana rented a convertible in Orlando to bring her daughter Maddie to her favorite place on earth…. Sanibel to find shells.
Looky what Clark found….. A nice wormie!
I just love finding a double SPINEY JEWELBOX…..
Just because you don’t see a lot of of shells on the beach, doesn’t mean you won’t find a treasure or two. Get your toes in the water and let the waves do their job of bringing the gifts of the sea right to your feet.

Nice examples of the “Sanibel Six”!!! And, love your double spiny jewel box!! The one that I found at Lighthouse Beach in May is still intact! Thanks for sharing, Pam!
I LOVE the spiney jewel box, Pam!! I HOPE I find one next week!! That is actually one of my favorites! Beautiful!!
See you soon!! :)
What a great shot of the wave! I’m getting my I love shelling merchandise order together. I’ll be down on Tuesday- I can’t wait!
thanks, Pam – ten days till I’m there. We are beyond excited to be bad in Sanibel.
uh, I meant be BACK in Sanibel…
Hello. . . A friend and I are comidown September 12th and I was wondering how the shelling and water are at that time of year and where is the best places to get my Sanibel Stoop on? Have a great day!
I love that worm shell! I only find tiny pieces (which I still love). They add such character to my shell displays.
That first shot of the wave is gorgeous!
I am so excited to be coming to the island in October!!
JEALOUS = ME! LOL.
Don’t forget to “sing” up? Pam! I have that one in the bag! It’s what I do – sing! LOL
Heehee- I’m sure that caught your attention- yes! you would have that one in the bag! No contest!
PS- thanks for letting me know- I fixed it. ;)
Love your blog, Pam. I take a Sanibel vacation everyday at lunch. I love the orange shells too, that true tulip is a keeper. Put me in the hat for a scoop. Caren

I want, I want, I want. This would be wonderful, such a cool idea, sure would save the back. We’ll be in Sanibel Sept. 4 – 8th. First time. Counting the days (16) Thanks, Melissa
Hi! Pam..
Just a cute story! I was wearing your “I Love Shelling” t-shirt one day while out shopping….Was in Bank of America …. walked out….and a lady followed me and asked where I got the T-shirt and where it was from.. I told her Sanibel Island and she told me that she had been there once in her life and it was the most “heaven on earth” place to go. I gave her your website and I’m sure she is a faithful reader by now….BTW…I bought your t-shirt from you personally last December @ the craft fair with my BFF..Sani-Belle Val from New Mexico. I wear it a lot and just love the material and the attention it gets…
Keep up the wonderful work that you do…We all appreciate it so much…
Dodie, Of course I remember you! It was so cold that day in Captiva and that’s when Val gave me the ornament she made ( I could still tear up). Thanks for spreading the shelling love!
These photos today are just like my recurring dream! I think it means I’m supposed to go to Sanibel!
Can’t have too many shelling scoops! My best friend gave me one for my birthday then I gave her one for hers. We wouldn’t mind winning another one for our other hand. Have the tees also. Hope to get back to the island before too much longer. Thanks!
Wow, those were some big waves bringing in the Sanibel Six!
Only 74 more days till we are there on Sanibel :-)

Nice. I can almost hear those waves crashing against the shore!
Hi Pam!
I was so sad to leave Sanibel last month! Thank you for making me feel like I am back on the island on a daily basis!! Your pictures are Gorgeous! Hope your Mom is doing well!

It is always lovely to see what the ocean has to offer those who are patient. I will be up early Sunday to see what the ocean brings to Lighthouse Beach. The morning is my favorite time at Sanibel. I like to get there while the birds and dolphins are feeding. Paradise.

Pam,
I love the 2nd photo. Was wondering if you took that laying down in the water? Everything was in focus.
can’t wait to take my own photos of the wonderful ocean and it’s glorious gifts,hopefully I can win the sifter to take with us!
