I love my new necklace I made out of a DOSINIA sea shell and a sterling silver SAND DOLLAR charm from Sealife by Congress jewelry store. I found this DOSINIA which already had a natural hole drilled in it (from a SHARK’S EYE- remember that post I did last month? CLICK HERE) so it was screaming for me to make it into a pendant.
I was so excited to receive one of these ever so sweet charms for our i Love Shelling shelling adventure on Tuesday’s Maiden Voyage on Sight Sea-R Cruises, I knew I wanted to wear it for that special occasion cruise. And you can have one too!
Yep, I have very big news for you. On every scheduled iLoveShelling cruise on the Sight Sea-R Cruises and iLoveShelling cruises on Captiva Cruises, Our friends at Sealife by Congress will be giving one sealife pendant to one lucky sheller! But hold on to your shelling hat- thats not all. Each passenger on an iLoveShelling cruise will also receive a gift certificate for $25 to the Sealife By Congress store! Oh yes, you will! Is that amazing or what? Sealife by Congress loves shelling too!
So you can be as happy as everybody on our iLoveShelling Maiden Voyage Sight Sea-R cruise…
When I showed off how I embellished my shell with my charm, Mary with Sealife by Congress told everybody if they found a shell they wanted to put their charm on, they could bring it to the store and they would put it on for them. I went in the store yesterday to thank them again for being so generous with the gifts and guess who I ran into… Pam and Pat from Texas (the “cutie cousins” I showed on my last post)! They were getting their charms put on necklaces.
Pam was very lucky to have picked out the JUNONIA charm- ooooo…I love this one. On our shelling cruise, she found a pretty COCKLE shell with a perfect hole to take in the store to have her JUNONIA charm added to her necklace. Such a wonderful memory! If you are on Sanibel, Captiva or in SW Florida stop and see them in Periwinkle Place on Sanibel- they are very “sheller- friendly”!
So along with finding seashell treasures on iLoveShelling cruises, you will find jewelry treasures as well.
I never got to show you all of the other photos from our Shelltastic Sight Sea-R Cruise. It was such a special afternoon with perfect weather, fabulous birding, amazing sealife sightings, a gorgeous sunset, and we all got to hang out with the nicest shellers in the world on a brand new 50 foot Cooper Pontoon boat (with a bar)…
And do some exshellent shelling.

Coming to Sanibel for my retirement treat Nov 4 to Nov 11. Hope you will have a cruise during that time. I have so many shells collected over the years from Sanibel when my girls were just 4-5 years old. They are now in their 40’s and still love to come to the island to “shell’ with me. Love the shell and charm idea. I must have hundreds of shells with holes that I have collected with jewelry in mind. What an awesome combination!
Thanks Pam, again you have brought us a great idea!
I knew this shelling cruise was going to be a great adventure, but it turned out so much better than I had dreamed! Matthew and I had an awesome time and enjoyed meeting both Pam and Clark. I loved that the cruise turned into a sunset cruise. It was beautiful. Another shelling cruise will definitely be on my agenda next June when we visit Sanibel.
That is all so awesome.
The inaugural shelling cruise was SO MUCH FUN! I have had the opportunity to experience both of the I Love Shelling cruises with Pam and Clark; Cayo Costa and South of Lover’s Key. Both cruises are run by extremely professional, yet fun, providers. On the inaugural cruise the wildlife was all but jumping out of the water waving us in to our destination. Both cruises offers fabulous shelling, accessible only by boat. So many gifts from the sea and a perfect experience with your BFF and/or family members of all ages! Thank you Pam for adding this new destination!
That looked like so much fun, at least I got to go if only in the pics shown. Someday hopefully.
Pam, the cruise was more fun than we could have imagined. Great company, beautiful wildlife, a quiet beach, and a gorgeous sunset. Thank you to you and Clark for putting together a wonderful trip. The charms from Mary and Jana at Sealife by Congress are just beautiful.
Cannot wait for the one in July, we will be there. Yay!
Hi,Pam! I know it’s a little late but I wanted to thank you for putting my picture on your website! I was so excited to meet you! It was the highlight of my trip! Best day ever!!!
On vacation from Nashville. Signed the family up for July 7th cruise. We are super excited to get to shell with Pam! Cant wait!
That jewelry is beautiful and inspiring! We go shelling on Caladesi Island all the time so I will definitely keep an eye our for the perfect shell to do something like this.
i liked so much the photo of a shark’s eye. Are they difficult to find?
Hi Pam! Beautiful necklace! I took my daughter to Sanibel over Mothers Day and made her a necklace with a beautiful olive shell found on that trip. I wired it with several pearls and gave it to my baby and told her it is the O-live You necklace!!
Cheers!! Can’t wait to get back to Sanibel!
