I think you are the greatest sheller in the nation. My wife and I have been with you on one of your cruises, and just loved it. I am hoping to get down there sometime in the near future.
SHELLAWESOME! BTW…the “add to cart” button isn’t working for me. Any suggestions? I’d really like to purchase the single wrist band, hat and sticker! PLEASE let me know if there is an alternate way to do this. Thanks, Pam. Happy Thanksgiving!
My dear Christine! That was crazy the button didn’t work…. and i couldnt get it to work. But I tried another way and its working now. thank you honey! miss you
Cool idea Pam .I can see myself wearing the I love shelling hat and wrist band as I search for shells this December on Sanibel. Can’t wait.

Your site/blog/readers etc. are so informative and positive! It’s so nice to find a place where nearly everything and everyone is nice, helpful, and well-informed! :-) Big fan of all of it! Thanks for sharing the wealth with the gear too. Promote positivity by promoting Iloveshelling.com!
We were just down there and were hoping you’d have one of your shelling expeditions but our timing wasn’t good. I love this site!! It’s like a mini-vacation when I get a post. I’ve recommended this site to family and friends. Shells were scarce while we were there but the sand dollars and starfish were everywhere. As were puffer fish taking little dirt naps on the shore. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and pictures!
Love your posts ! Always look forward to seeing what our other sheller have found.. Found a Perfect Florida Cone shell on Ft myers beach in Oct, was totally surprised at my perfect find
!
Our weeks in Sanibel in December are early this year and we are going to miss your shelling trip!!!! Boo hoo. But hope we spot you on one of the beaches. Always one of the highlights of our trip. Hugs!
Love the shade of aqua/turquoise that you picked for the hat. It has always been one of my favorite colors. It is so calming, just like the beaches at Sanibel. I hope I can make it back in April!
Counting down the days till March 1st and returning to Sanibel. No place on earth like it! Looking forward to a shelling trip with you then too!
Well worth the drive from Nova Scotia 😀😀😀
FYI Thanks for including Canadians in this!🍁
We went to Sanibel for the first time for our anniversary last May. It was the most beautiful relaxing time we’ve had in a long time. We’re planning to go again.
After you post your shells, it inspires me to put yet another X amount of dollars to get back to Sanibel. Wish we could stay forever and go shelling. xoxo
This is Shellawesome!! I was so happy to finally met you at the Sanibel Shell show this year. You were kind enough to talk to me and take a picture with me which made my day. I look for you every time I go to the beautiful Sanibel beaches. I love ILOVESHELLING.COM. I look everyday to see if you have posted anything new. Thank you for sharing the love of shelling. I hope you have a Happy Shellgiving. hee hee Dana from Georgia
Can’t wait to come back and go on another “I Love Shelling” cruise with you! I’ve been on 2 so far! It’s always so much fun and we learn so much at the same time. It’s great to look at everyone’s “finds” on the trip back to the dock. Will you ever give us a tour of your “shellaboratory”?
I love shelling and I love your website! Looking forward to returning to Sanibel Dec. 10. Counting the days, so for now, I’ll enjoy looking at the beautiful shells on the I Love Shelling site. Thank you!
I love you Facebook page and look forward to seeing new post during each day! I can’t wait to make our trip to Sanibel next early spring. Thanks for all the great pictures and information daily!!!
Love your blog … So fun to ” go shelling” with you while we’re dreaming ourselves ! 🍥 You give a little piece of the beach until we get there ” thanks !!!
As a relatively new Floridian (but long-time sheller) I look to your wonderful website & Facebook pages for inspiration &, quite often, identification information. Keep on shellin’ & postin’!
January cannot come quickly enough for me to be back in Sanibel and on a shelling trip with you! Your I love Shelling.com posts keep me smiling, and wishing I was in Sanibel year round.
Hey Pam, I can’t tell you how valuable you are to me……I have learned so much from you over the last few years on the shelling cruises and running into you on the beach. Looking forward to it all again this winter.
You are so awesome, love your passion it’s contagious.
I am hoping to be able to join you on one of the shelling cruises next year. I wish I could come to Sanibel more than once a year!! I was there in October and I miss it already.
I’m finally getting to come back to Sanibel this spring. Hopefully I will be there when you are doing a cruise. I really enjoy all your posts. I look forward to reading them. Thanks for keeping me up to date on beach happenings
I love shelling goodies giveaway! Shelling right now is the remedy for post election blues! No matter which shell you pick you are a winner! Because if you are on a beach, hearing the waves and feeling the sand between your toes, what’s better than that?
I just love watching your posts on Facebook. Since we live in Colorado, and I am an avid sheller – I get my fix watching what all you have found on your adventures. I absolutely love Sanibel Island and look forward to returning as soon as I can get back..
Pam – It was so great seeing you at the beach during the “Matthew” storm. We will be making the trip over from Jupiter for Luminary. Will you be at Congress Jewelers again this year?? Hope to see you that weekend. Penny & Faye from Jupiter
I am hoping to go to Sanibel next month provided my husband has sufficiently recovered from his heart attack and triple bypass surgery.It has been a very stressful time for us and shelling would be a welcome break from all the medical testing.
The ‘I Love Shelling.com’ blog is my weekly pick-me-up and connection to my favorite place on earth – SANIBEL ISLAND!!! I live in Ontario Canada and am doing the countdown to our annual trek to Sanibel in February. Love Pam’s posts and her crazy sense of humour (who knew so many new words could be made by embedding the word “shell” into them). Keep on blogging!
Just visited Sanibel and Captiva Island on Sunday, got there before sunrise and left after sunset! Totally loved it (minus the insane parking fee!) excited to go back again and find more treasures!
Just returned from our annual October visit to Sanibel and still haven’t gotten all of our seashells cleaned and displayed!! I guess that should be considered a good thing being that we found so many!! I enjoy keeping up with Sanibel when I’m at home in NC. Thank you!
Went on a shelling trip with you a few years ago had a great time. The coolest thing was to run into you on at a later time while shelling on Sanibel. You remembered me and my friend Pat, stopped to chat and take a picture with us.
I am shelling with the hopes of finding a junoia seashell.

Pam,
You are the only blog U have ever followed. I not only use it for the beautiful pictures and findings but as a reference when I am looking for the name of a certain shell. I always use your blog to get through our dreary and cold NY winters. Thank you for sharing your Sanibel love with all of us and I hope to get back there someday soon.
Hi Pam, remember George and Susan from the Outer Banks trip? We were your bunk mates. We are in Sanibel. Where are the shells? Would love to see you again.
Shellzame iLoveShelling Goodies Giveaway!!!!! Aqua hats….a dream come true!!!!# I loved the cruise to Caya Costa 2 years ago and hope to come back to Sanibel next year!!!!! I love watching all of your posts and watching all the joy shelling brings to everyone!!! Good luck to everyone!!
I love shelling kept me going with cyber shelling during many long cold blustery days up north. Now I’m blessed to live in FL and ndulge in shelling as often as I can. Thank you Pam, you are shelltastic!
Awesome! Thanks Pam, My husband and I live in the Texas Panhandle and we have been vacationing there for several years. I look forward to your emails, pictures of all the shells and have learned so much thru you and your web site. I envy you ;), and I dream of the day that I can retire and live there.
Thanks for keeping the rest of us, up to date in the SANIBEL SEA SHELL WORLD.
We love Sanibel! We will be back later in 2017. I’ve got the “stoop” down pat and have quite a collection of shells. So far only a small piece of a Junonia though – I’ll keep trying.
Oh how I would Love to win this giveaway. I can only dream of being on a beach shelling as for I live in MA and do not get down to FL enough. I LOVE SHELLING! Thanks for the opportunity Pam!
Pam…so thankful for all you do for our shelling community and keeping those of us who only dream about living your shelltabulous shelling life full of learning, wonder and sharing your endless passion for shells…especially through your wonderful videos! I have been honored to have met you a few times on the beach in Sanibel and have gone on your shelling cruises…just can’t wait until the next one!! Happy Thanksgiving!
I so wanted the hat and wristband when we went on excursion with you in March. Unfortunately, weren’t available on website at that time. So hope I win so I can wear to Sanibel on my 2017 trip!
I would love to win anything with I Love Shelling! I share your post with all my friends. I love to be ‘on the beach’ as I follow your posts. Your reference subjects & dates are very helpful too! Thank you so much for sharing.
A Fellow Sheller from the north
I love your posts. I am totally in love with Sanibel and you help me stay connected in Indiana! Thanks for the chance to snag some gear from your amazing work.
What can I comment other than I love shelling! And to think I found “I Love Shelling” by accident when researching “Sunrise Tellins”. That was at least five years ago, maybe longer but have been enjoying this for years now.
I’ve loved shells since I was a little kid living in California. I’d see pictures (drawings) in some children’s books I had and didn’t think they were real until preschool when a classmate brought some in for “show and tell”. It was a couple years later that I found my very first whole ones on the beach and have loved collecting them ever since. We moved to PA when I was still a kid and I’m living in VA now…a little closer to the ocean but not close enough for a decent day trip.
Thank you for taking the time to do this. I enjoy your blog and your beautiful pictures. I really love when you travel somewhere distant because I really enjoy your pictures and seeing shells from other parts of the world.
I love Sanibel and Gods little treasures! I could do this for hours! I thought I was the only shelling geek! But I’m darn proud to be one! I’d love to wear the cap and bracelet to advertise our passion! Thank You!
I LOVE SHELLING and SHARKS TEETH! I cannot think of a better way to clear my head and enjoy the beauty all around me then wandering a beach doing that.
Thank you, Pam and Clark also lol for opening up your lives to all of us on the wonderful places around the globe that you venture off to.
Thank you Pam! The Dillon Family is all booked for your February Cruise!!! I think this hat will make a great addition to my wardrobe that day! Thanks for all you do to keep our shared passion alive! 🐚
I love seeing the gems you find & love seeing & learning about shells I’ve never seen! So cool :) Always makes me want to go back to Sanibel & Captiva ❤️
Thinking of Sanibel gets me through the cold, dark days of our Alaskan winters.
I thought my shell garland, which is hanging up outside and made from “imperfect” shells from Sanibel, had broken when I saw what I thought to be a conch shell in the snow on my deck. Turned out it was a leaf!
I just love your web site and love your videos of virtual shelling on the beach. The pics you take are beautiful of the sunsets. I hope someday I can get to Sanibel and do some shelling of my own, but until then I will live vicariously through you.
Shelling is my favorite thing to do and Sanibel Island is my favorite place on earth! I found a junonia and was in the paper there a few years ago. Love!
When I can’t be shelling on Sanibel… reading your blogs and cyber shelling on ILoveShelling.com is my happy place!! ⛵️🐚🐬Thank you!! I love my 8/2/16 shellebrity shellfie!!
Love your blog. We came to Sanibel for the first time this summer because of your blog. My 8yr old was really hoping to meet you when we went to the Lighthouse, but no luck! Maybe next year in 2017 when we come in June!
I always check your site when I’m feeling the need to see some videos or photos of shelling! Love your blog! Gives me a quick Sanibel fix until our next getaway!

It is raining here in Texas……cloudy, overcast, gray, depressing. It would sure cheer me up to win your cool hat and wristband. Do I win the sympathy vote?
I love shelling. Since I’ve found your site I have learned ALOT. I’ve always wanted to go to Sanibel and ILoveShelling.com has pulled me to come for a visit. Thank you for all your insights.
I just ordered myself a cap (always wanted one), wristband and sticker (already have one on my laptop but will save this one for next laptop)!!
I met you Pam when you were FIRST showing the Shell Love Bug at The Shell Factory! You were just as nice, sweet and personable in person as you appear to be in your blogs. You’re a REAL GENUINE person. We live part time on Pine Island I hope one day I can go on one of your shelling cruises while we’re down there!!
Hope to see you soon
Janice
Absolutely love sanibel and captiva, my family comes down every year!! Shelling is definitely our favorite thing to do while we are there! We all love following your blog and page! 💙 🐚
Pam – I hope you will be wandering around Sanibel next September…I will be the person with the “I Love Shelling Hat!”…Keep those great shelling blogs coming! Pam C
Hanging on my living room wall is a wreath made entirely of Sanibel shells to always remind me of wonderful winter vacations I have spent there! Love your posts, Pam!
Your blog was the first blog I ever subscribed to! I am still thrilled that my son and I got to meet you on Sanibel last December. I’d love to win the drawing, put the bumper sticker on our car, and head back to Sanibel while wearing those turquoise beauties!
I’ve learned so much from you, both on your website and your shelling trips. Going on a trip as become a “must do” for hubby and me. Your unfailing excitement about shells is wonderful! Thanks for everything.
PS Since you can’t ship single items could you bring them on a shelling trip to sell them?
Hi Dotty, Yes! Every sheller on an iLoveShelling cruise gets a wrist band plus some other fun goodies. I always have my hats in my car to sell them separately (without shipping- woot woot! haha :) ) when I’m on the cruises. Thank you!!
Hoping to see you again when we go down for Jan/Feb! Enjoyed the shelling cruise to Big Hickory Island a couple of years ago. I will be looking to sign up for another shelling cruise!
I appreciate all of the information and pictures that you share! I have learned a lot from your blog! Thanks for all of the time and effort you put into making this a great place to hang out and learn!
Hi Pam. I Love Sheldon here. Lol. I’ll be back on Sanibel with my best shelling buds in April. Hope to see you at the Lighthouse beach looking for those beautiful wentletraps.
We had such fun meeting you in March and going on a shelltacular sheling trip with you.
I can’t wait to make it back to Sanibel, such a highlight! Emily and I wait anxiously for your next post on shelling and can’t wait to see what you have found!
My dream is to live closer to the beach but for now I’m landlocked in Chippewa Lake Ohio. I am, however, able to go to Lake Erie and find tiny shells and sea (lake) glass! Can’t wait for my next chance to go shelling!
Life’s too short not to go shelling!! I didn’t realize how beautiful shells really were until my first trip to Sanibel and Captiva… And I grew up on the jersey shore!! I’m addicted!
Just came back from my second trip to Sanibel. It was my dream to visit after following your website for years. My son, who made it possible to visit Sanibel learned to love shelling as much as I do. I treasure my shells and memories and will return!
I love your blog and I especially was thrilled to meet you earlier this year on the shelling cruise. I always thought you were a lovely person but meeting you in person words can’t describe how truely awesome you are. You are STILL my idol and I can’t wait to visit there again next summer to get the opportunity to see you again. I wouldn’t mind rocking some iloveshelling.com gear but if not its ok meeting you and taking a pic with you was enough for me.
I would love to win a hat, bracelet & sticker! Pam, I’ve been following you for 2 years now. I’ve been blessed to visit Sanibel 4 times in the last 2 years, and I’m headed there again in about 4 weeks…Yippeee! We used to go to CA, but no more. Thank you for introducing me to the wonderful shelling on Sanibel! Keep on shelling and blogging. :)
Happy Shellection Day! Remember the Declaration of Independence proclaims: that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights-LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF SHELLING. Happy Shelling!
Absolutely love your site. If I could, I would shell 24/7 but since that isn’t possible, I’ll just keep reading your post and wishing!! Thank you for the opportunity!!!
A lifelong sheller and naturalist/artist, I enjoy reading your blog and seeing your beautiful shells and I really appreciate your enthusiasm and joy in promoting our beautiful state and its beach treasures. I often refer new shelling enthusiasts to read your blog and check out your website! I am still hoping to visit Sanibel sometime and go on one of your cruises – happy shelling!!!
Enjoy your blog and am looking forward to joining you on a shelling cruise in a couple of weeks. How lucky that my upcoming visit to Sanibel fits into your cruise schedule. In these hectic times, what can be more relaxing than listening to the surf, experiencing nature’s beauty, and seeking shells !!
Well I really enjoyed the shelling trip as usual. I am glad we were able to come down n go on your shelling trip. Thanks for the goodies. If I don’t win a hat I will buy myself one. Great to see you again…..happy shelling always.
SO EXCITED!!!!! I ordered 2 sets of hats, wrist bands & Sticker!!!!! BUT after I paid by paypal, and hit send I realized the shipping address was my OLD one! Help!!! What d I do????
1st shelling was for my 75th with both daughters, 2nd with daughter and her whole family, must come again from CT- Love it! love it! Please continue to send me your videos- love them, too :)
We’re living real tight now – no trips to Sanibel or even I Love Shelling goodies for a while – but we live vicariously thru your sheladventures. In case we never get back, we know we can always come here and revel in the beauty you share. X O
Coming to Sanibel in early December. I have learned so much from you, Pam!! Hope to go on a shelling trip with you. Saw the Shell Love Bug last time I was here!! Love Shells!!!
Your posts and videos are my favorite web place to visit during the winter in Maine. I have visited Sanibel the past two winters and hope to visit again this year. I was very excited when you picked my birthday, June 20 as National Shell Day! Hope I get to see Shell Love bug this year!
Thanks Pam!
I remember when I first found your site…like over 4 years ago!! I was always so excited to go cybershelling with you in the winter from my northern home!! Now we snowbird and get to go shelling for real, yay!! Thanks so much for sharing and shelling with all of us!!!
Thank you for doing a give-a-way…I love seeing all your post about your shelling trips..You and Clark definately find some beautiful shells..Thanks again🐚🐬🐚⛱🐚
What a great hat-my favorite color & the shell I covet more than any other. Will be there in January-can’t wait. Thanks for your wonderful blog and photos!
I think you live in Heaven! I’ve always wanted to come to Sanibel as I love the beach and looking for shells. My husband and I came this past June and fell in love with it, of course! We hope to make this a yearly trip!
Sanibel, my favorite place on earth! Hoping to retire there in the next few years. Been enjoying iloveshelling.com for a few years now. Thanks for all your posts and great information!
Oh my… How will you ever choose a name from this list, it goes on and on and on and on and on…..
Oh rats…I just missed joining you on a shelling trip this past September. On the bright side,my next tip to Sanibel will definitely planned around your shelling cruise trips!
Thanks to Hurricane Hermaine we were able to find some fabshellous sea shells. My absolute fav finds are the beautiful Apple Murexes! Can’t wait for our return trip!
Sanibel Island has a piece of my heart. It is my special place. I am grateful for each opportunity I have to spend time on the island. I am an avid sheller and a huge fan of your page. I have gotten my two children and my husband to love shelling as well.
HI Pam , I went to sanibel for the first time a couple weeks ago, OMG I loved it I’ve never seen so many shells, I’d like to take one of you’re boat shelling trips soon. I live in Brandon Florida and have been to many beaches in Florida but so far sanibel is my fave. 😊
I love your posts and am sorry I missed you in October when I was on Sanibel! I especially enjoy your videos in the cold Michigan winters!!
I am planning to be at the Shell Festival in March!!!! You are the best!!!!
Thank you Pam for your love of shells!!! It keeps me dreaming of beautiful Sanibel & Captiva Island and those wonderful sea shells. Maybe some day a shell book from you???
I Love Shelling spells out my favorite passtime especially when it means shelling at Sanibel and Captiva. It’s been a whole family thing for many years. We always look forward to beach weeks whenever we caan get away. No better way to spend a day along the shore.
Counting down the days till my family and I come back down to paradise! However, I am splurging myself by going BY MYSELF no kids just me! I am applying for a shell ambassador positron and would be proud to wear this hat while doing my “duties.”
Pam, I’ve followed all of your posts, and have been to Sanibel at least 5 times because of you! Looking forward to the 6th. Love your passion for shelling and the wonderful blog you have! Thank you so much for exposing me to this wonderful world of shelling 🐚
There once was an intrepid sheller
who always said, “Nothing is sweller
than shells within reach
on a beautiful beach,
unless it’s my big handsome feller.”
Hey Pam, it’s Vera from Pine Island. We’ve moved up to The Villages, so don’t get over to Sanibel as often, but my sister and I will head that way next Spring. My daughter is visiting from Vegas and she and I sat down last night and wrote this limerick for you. Glad you enjoyed it!
Pam, I love hearing of all your shellacious adventures.
I haven’t been able to go on one of your shelling trips yet. My timing is always off. But, I hope to make one soon.
Keep sharing your wonderful shelling knowledge with us. I learn something every time I read your blog.
To feel the sand between my toes and experience that moment of sheer joy when finding the most beautiful treasures on Earth! Hoping to visit for the first time in February!!!
Pam, you are such an angel to offer this special give away. I enjoyed my trip to Cayo Costa with you in January and I’ll look forward to my next trip with you.
Turquoise is my favorite color and i know it’s yours too. I love in Key West, but my favorite place to be is on Captiva Island.
I hope to see you on my next trip.
Thanks for the surprise..I generally love the..not sure tonight as watching the returns! Haha.
I need beach, shells and this..that’s all.
Vickie from south east Florida!
Hi Pam and Super sheller!! This give away is awesome! If I won I’d give the winnings to my mom. She’s a big fan! We went on the shelling trip to Cayo Costa this last October and had a blast! Hope to be back to sanibel soon.

Pam,
I really need a new hat to wear when I walk my dog. My 2 loves are shelling and my dog. Can’t wait to come back to Sanibel and see Shell Love Bug. Your site is a must for those of us living in the Midwest. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm of shelling and nature!
Pam I cant even begin to tell you how much joy your blog has brought to my life. Your amazing pictures,videos and stories of Sanibel and other places around the world has given me something to look forward to and now cant wait to plan a trip to this wonderful island Thank you!!!
Love these products. You got me hooked on Sanibel several years ago, and I have been lucky to make it there three times since I discovered your website and the island. So a big THANK YOU!!! to you. Now if I could only schedule our vacations around a week you are going on a shelling cruise!!!
Finding this website lets me relive the shelling trips in Sanibel. Thank you Pam for having this website!
Love the videos, the photography, and the feeling like I’m still on Sanibel!
Pam, I have become addicted to your blog and to shelling! We spent time in Sanibel when you were in the Caribbean…our first time! We will be back next year! Thank you for all of the pics, advice, knowledge, and fun!
Mendy, Indiana
My sister and I are looking forward to coming down for the first time next week! It just doesn’t get any better than spending time together AND shelling!🐚
It’s like a party for my eyes and a “take me away” moment every time I view ILoveShelling! It’s the next best thing to actually doing the Sanibel stoop(:
Thank you for all the shelling inspiration you’ve given me. Going to get my Florida shelling fix when we go back to Treasure Island for Thanksgiving week. I hope one day to join you on one of your shellabration cruises!
Hey Pam! I could save you the shipping costs on the giveaway as will be doing the Sanibel Stoop starting this Saturday! So, what do you say??? I look good in blue:). Lol!
I’m really missing Sanibel! Knowing how hard the Holidays are going to be this year without my grandma for the first time in my life your posts keep me smiling! Thanks tor all you do!
I can’t wait to come back to Sanibel in February!! My shell collection gets a bit depleted during the year when I share them with my friends and family- it makes ME happy to make THEM happy!! Hopefully we’ll be on one of the cruises with you!!
Hi there neighbor! Although we haven’t met, yet, I’ve followed your blog for years and now that I live on Sanibel I can’t wait to meet you. Thank you for all you do to share the love of shelling with the rest of us.
I’m sitting here on the beach at Blind Pass. Go on your site trying to learn about the better shelling times. (Other than all the time) I noticed your post about posting before the 10th of November. I think that’s today, not sure. (Which is how I like it) 😊 Hope I’m included!

Love the color of the hat. Can wait for our trip in Jan & then one in March. Hope the shells r washing. Love your posts. Thanks from Nebraska. The center of our wonderful (main land) United States.
Thank you, Pam for keeping us up to date here in Iowa about our beloved Sanibel! It’s so much fun to see what you are finding! My daughter and I try to get there whenever we can =) Take care and keep on shellin!
My family and I are coming to Captiva in March and can’t WAIT! We go every year and your site is our bible as well as our way to get by and virtually shell in between visits. Pam – you ROCK!!!

We just got back from Mexico, and all I could think of while combing the beaches there was how much I missed shelling in Sanibel. Found a few keyhole limpets, but that’s about it. Need my Sanibel fix soon!!!
You’re a gal after my own heart (and I try not to be jealous of you, but it’s hard!!!) When I’m not on my annual trip to Sanibel, I make do with looking for beautiful rocks along the shore of Lake Huron. Not the same as shells, I know…but it makes me happy :)
I’m counting down the days til we return to Sanibel for shelling and fun!
It’s such a treat to get postings from I Love Shelling. Adds a zing of happiness to my day,
Looking forward to a surprise shelling trip with Pam for my sister’s 60th birthday. Hopefully the dates will coordinate.
I love shelling !!! I love the hat!
I love shelling.com!!! Thank you for all of your work.
I think you are the greatest sheller in the nation. My wife and I have been with you on one of your cruises, and just loved it. I am hoping to get down there sometime in the near future.
Love I love shelling and Sanibel. Wish I could come down more oftem
Can’t wait to go on a shelling cruise with you in the spring !
SHELLAWESOME! BTW…the “add to cart” button isn’t working for me. Any suggestions? I’d really like to purchase the single wrist band, hat and sticker! PLEASE let me know if there is an alternate way to do this. Thanks, Pam. Happy Thanksgiving!
My dear Christine! That was crazy the button didn’t work…. and i couldnt get it to work. But I tried another way and its working now. thank you honey! miss you
Pam – It finally worked and I’m all set! Thanks.
I love all your posts – thanks!
Cool idea Pam .I can see myself wearing the I love shelling hat and wrist band as I search for shells this December on Sanibel. Can’t wait.
Sandi C. From Illinois.
You always have posts that make me smile….even in Indiana!!!!
I love this site! I’ve only been twice but I want to come back! Your blog makes me feel like I’m right there! Oh, and I really need a hat!
Your site/blog/readers etc. are so informative and positive! It’s so nice to find a place where nearly everything and everyone is nice, helpful, and well-informed! :-) Big fan of all of it! Thanks for sharing the wealth with the gear too. Promote positivity by promoting Iloveshelling.com!
Love your posts. They keep me connected when I am home in WI for the summer. Happy Thanksgiving kiddo.
I live vicariously through you!!!!
Captiva and Shelling rejuvinates my soul!
Good luck fellow shell lovers!
HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON ON A BEACH NEAR YOU!!
The “Add to Cart” button isn’t working for me either. Love your posts!
Would love to be back in Sanibel! Thanks for your photos to keep me vicariously shelling!
I really enjoy the “I love Shelling” website. Keeps me connected to Sanibel every day!!
Thank you.
I miss my second home!!
We were just down there and were hoping you’d have one of your shelling expeditions but our timing wasn’t good. I love this site!! It’s like a mini-vacation when I get a post. I’ve recommended this site to family and friends. Shells were scarce while we were there but the sand dollars and starfish were everywhere. As were puffer fish taking little dirt naps on the shore. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and pictures!
Love your posts ! Always look forward to seeing what our other sheller have found.. Found a Perfect Florida Cone shell on Ft myers beach in Oct, was totally surprised at my perfect find
!
Our weeks in Sanibel in December are early this year and we are going to miss your shelling trip!!!! Boo hoo. But hope we spot you on one of the beaches. Always one of the highlights of our trip. Hugs!
Visted in October and hoped to bump into while doing the Sanibel Stoop. Your fan in California.
Love the shade of aqua/turquoise that you picked for the hat. It has always been one of my favorite colors. It is so calming, just like the beaches at Sanibel. I hope I can make it back in April!
Counting down the days till March 1st and returning to Sanibel. No place on earth like it! Looking forward to a shelling trip with you then too!
Well worth the drive from Nova Scotia 😀😀😀
FYI Thanks for including Canadians in this!🍁
You posts brighten the day of this landlocked seashell lover! Thanks, Pam. Keep on shellin’!
Your posts. Sigh. I should have spell-checked but I was SO excited! LOL
I repost iloveshelling photos on my Facebook page all the time. I can’t wait to get back to Sanibel!
Love iloveshelling.com! Look forward to it every time it hits my in box. CAN’T wait to get back to Sanibel in Jan-March!
Oh my goodness! I LIVE for shelling!!! So excited about your giveaway! Thanks for the chance!
Hey Pam
You know I am always up for anything related to shelling. Counting the days til I am in sunny Sanibel!!!
Thank you for the chance of winning this awesome give a way…and thank you for sharing your your beautiful shelling pictures!
We went to Sanibel for the first time for our anniversary last May. It was the most beautiful relaxing time we’ve had in a long time. We’re planning to go again.
What a nice thing to do Pam. Looking forward to some nice northwest winds and an I Love Shelling Cruise.
Of all the shells in that image – I love the gaudy Nautica. Hardly ever find those and that one is perfect!
Love seeing all of your posts, they help me dream of the Beach from my home that is way too far away from the sea🐚🐬
After you post your shells, it inspires me to put yet another X amount of dollars to get back to Sanibel. Wish we could stay forever and go shelling. xoxo
This is Shellawesome!! I was so happy to finally met you at the Sanibel Shell show this year. You were kind enough to talk to me and take a picture with me which made my day. I look for you every time I go to the beautiful Sanibel beaches. I love ILOVESHELLING.COM. I look everyday to see if you have posted anything new. Thank you for sharing the love of shelling. I hope you have a Happy Shellgiving. hee hee Dana from Georgia
Can’t wait to come back and go on another “I Love Shelling” cruise with you! I’ve been on 2 so far! It’s always so much fun and we learn so much at the same time. It’s great to look at everyone’s “finds” on the trip back to the dock. Will you ever give us a tour of your “shellaboratory”?
Retiring in January…already planning my first trip to go shelling!
I really enjoyed my trip to Old Hickory with you and my boys. Love following your posts and can’t wait to come back to Sanibel!
Love your video posts at super low tides or after a storm….it’s a great escape.
Our shelling trip with you was so much fun. Cant wait to do it again.
I love shelling and I love your website! Looking forward to returning to Sanibel Dec. 10. Counting the days, so for now, I’ll enjoy looking at the beautiful shells on the I Love Shelling site. Thank you!
I just left Sanibel two weeks ago. Wish it wasn’t so far away. I keep my dreams close and my seashells closer. Always counting down to my next trip!
I love you Facebook page and look forward to seeing new post during each day! I can’t wait to make our trip to Sanibel next early spring. Thanks for all the great pictures and information daily!!!
Love your blog … So fun to ” go shelling” with you while we’re dreaming ourselves ! 🍥 You give a little piece of the beach until we get there ” thanks !!!
As a relatively new Floridian (but long-time sheller) I look to your wonderful website & Facebook pages for inspiration &, quite often, identification information. Keep on shellin’ & postin’!
January cannot come quickly enough for me to be back in Sanibel and on a shelling trip with you! Your I love Shelling.com posts keep me smiling, and wishing I was in Sanibel year round.
I love your blog! Love Sanibel!
Hey Pam, I can’t tell you how valuable you are to me……I have learned so much from you over the last few years on the shelling cruises and running into you on the beach. Looking forward to it all again this winter.
You are so awesome, love your passion it’s contagious.
I am hoping to be able to join you on one of the shelling cruises next year. I wish I could come to Sanibel more than once a year!! I was there in October and I miss it already.
I LOVE the Florida gulf side and wished I could live there instead of Ohio… The shells are amazing and I love to see what people find….
I’m finally getting to come back to Sanibel this spring. Hopefully I will be there when you are doing a cruise. I really enjoy all your posts. I look forward to reading them. Thanks for keeping me up to date on beach happenings
It was like being in shell heaven when I visited in August. Cant wait to come back again. Love your posts
I love shelling goodies giveaway! Shelling right now is the remedy for post election blues! No matter which shell you pick you are a winner! Because if you are on a beach, hearing the waves and feeling the sand between your toes, what’s better than that?
I just love watching your posts on Facebook. Since we live in Colorado, and I am an avid sheller – I get my fix watching what all you have found on your adventures. I absolutely love Sanibel Island and look forward to returning as soon as I can get back..
Pam – It was so great seeing you at the beach during the “Matthew” storm. We will be making the trip over from Jupiter for Luminary. Will you be at Congress Jewelers again this year?? Hope to see you that weekend. Penny & Faye from Jupiter
Happy “Turkey” Wing Day!! hehe
Thanks for the opportunity!
I love your blog, so fun & educational! 😊
I am hoping to go to Sanibel next month provided my husband has sufficiently recovered from his heart attack and triple bypass surgery.It has been a very stressful time for us and shelling would be a welcome break from all the medical testing.
Shelling is my therapy and I love your prizes and ads. Keep it up! 💞😍
Hi! We are a family of 3 who love shelling! I would love to win this so we could sport it on our next trip to sanibel!!
Love your posts, hoping to see more shelling videos from you soon! Happy we got to meet u once at blindpass:)
I love your blogs, and your passion for shelling!
Pick me, Pick me, Pick me! (PLEASE…)
The ‘I Love Shelling.com’ blog is my weekly pick-me-up and connection to my favorite place on earth – SANIBEL ISLAND!!! I live in Ontario Canada and am doing the countdown to our annual trek to Sanibel in February. Love Pam’s posts and her crazy sense of humour (who knew so many new words could be made by embedding the word “shell” into them). Keep on blogging!
I love shelling! Pick me! Pick me!
Pick me! I love your site :) I’d love to house swap with you if you’re interested in another OBX trip! Happy Shelling!
Hey Pam, it was so great meeting you and shelling with you this past spring. Hope to do it again next year. Happy Schelling
Just visited Sanibel and Captiva Island on Sunday, got there before sunrise and left after sunset! Totally loved it (minus the insane parking fee!) excited to go back again and find more treasures!
Just returned from our annual October visit to Sanibel and still haven’t gotten all of our seashells cleaned and displayed!! I guess that should be considered a good thing being that we found so many!! I enjoy keeping up with Sanibel when I’m at home in NC. Thank you!
My siblings and spouses are hoping to come to Sanibel next Sept., and hope to go on a shelling cruise! SO glad I found your blog and Facebook page!
It’s that shellgiving time of year. Sanibel is tops on my bucket list. Hopefully someday.
I love your page and always get so excited to see your new posts & photos you’ve helped me add Cuba to my bucket list Shelling destinations 😍
I really really need that hat for when I come to Sanibel next time. Love your website.

But I really ….reallly do love shelling!!!! I even named my new blue beta fish…. Shelly!!!!
Went on a shelling trip with you a few years ago had a great time. The coolest thing was to run into you on at a later time while shelling on Sanibel. You remembered me and my friend Pat, stopped to chat and take a picture with us.
I am shelling with the hopes of finding a junoia seashell.
Pam,
You are the only blog U have ever followed. I not only use it for the beautiful pictures and findings but as a reference when I am looking for the name of a certain shell.

We love Sanibel! We will be back later in 2017. I’ve got the “stoop” down pat and have quite a collection of shells. So far only a small piece of a Junonia though – I’ll keep trying.
I rediscovered the love of shelling by reading your blog! Thanks for sharing with all of us.

I so wanted the hat and wristband when we went on excursion with you in March. Unfortunately, weren’t available on website at that time. So hope I win so I can wear to Sanibel on my 2017 trip!
the most magical place on the planet!

Jenny in Florida
was there only once but I LOVED it!
I love shells ,and I’ve learned so much from your blog and from a shelling trip to Big Hickory island!
Looking forward to some Sanibel time on our upcoming time in SW Florida!
I would love to win anything with I Love Shelling! I share your post with all my friends. I love to be ‘on the beach’ as I follow your posts. Your reference subjects & dates are very helpful too! Thank you so much for sharing.
A Fellow Sheller from the north
I love your posts. I am totally in love with Sanibel and you help me stay connected in Indiana! Thanks for the chance to snag some gear from your amazing work.
What can I comment other than I love shelling! And to think I found “I Love Shelling” by accident when researching “Sunrise Tellins”. That was at least five years ago, maybe longer but have been enjoying this for years now.
I’ve loved shells since I was a little kid living in California. I’d see pictures (drawings) in some children’s books I had and didn’t think they were real until preschool when a classmate brought some in for “show and tell”. It was a couple years later that I found my very first whole ones on the beach and have loved collecting them ever since. We moved to PA when I was still a kid and I’m living in VA now…a little closer to the ocean but not close enough for a decent day trip.
Thank you for taking the time to do this. I enjoy your blog and your beautiful pictures. I really love when you travel somewhere distant because I really enjoy your pictures and seeing shells from other parts of the world.
You’re living my dream life! I met you on the beach one morning! We get to Sanibel once a year but maybe someday we will find our home by the sea.
I love Sanibel and Gods little treasures! I could do this for hours! I thought I was the only shelling geek! But I’m darn proud to be one! I’d love to wear the cap and bracelet to advertise our passion! Thank You!
What a fantastic giveaway! I love all of your posts and would love to be considered for this giveaway. It’s shelltastic!
Alphabet cones, clams, king crowns and junonias oh my!!!
I Love Sanibel Shelling The Best Place to Find Seashells.
I LOVE SHELLING and SHARKS TEETH! I cannot think of a better way to clear my head and enjoy the beauty all around me then wandering a beach doing that.
Thank you, Pam and Clark also lol for opening up your lives to all of us on the wonderful places around the globe that you venture off to.
This Tennessee teacher loves, loves, loves Pam and iloveshelling! Hope we see you this summer! Thanks for making my day, once again!
Thank you Pam! The Dillon Family is all booked for your February Cruise!!! I think this hat will make a great addition to my wardrobe that day! Thanks for all you do to keep our shared passion alive! 🐚
I love seeing the gems you find & love seeing & learning about shells I’ve never seen! So cool :) Always makes me want to go back to Sanibel & Captiva ❤️
We will be in Sanibel April 2017, Hope to meet you and go on a shelling cruise then.
I do LOVE SHELLING!! Thank you so much!!!!!
Thinking of Sanibel gets me through the cold, dark days of our Alaskan winters.
I thought my shell garland, which is hanging up outside and made from “imperfect” shells from Sanibel, had broken when I saw what I thought to be a conch shell in the snow on my deck. Turned out it was a leaf!
Thanks for your blog and website!
How fun!
I have visited Sanibel 2 times I can’t wait to visit again! I also, love to receive postings from iloveshelling.com
Was just on Sanibel for Halloween! Had a great time! I LOVE shelling!!
What a wonderful thing to do! I so enjoy your blog. :)
I just love your web site and love your videos of virtual shelling on the beach. The pics you take are beautiful of the sunsets. I hope someday I can get to Sanibel and do some shelling of my own, but until then I will live vicariously through you.
My 88 and 89 year old parents just returned from Sanibel. They used your page to ID shells! Thanks for the help.
I love shelling! It brings me joy and peace to my soul! Takes me away from this crazy world if just for a little while!
What fun this is! Love your blog and your giveaway! Thank you.
Shelling is my favorite thing to do and Sanibel Island is my favorite place on earth! I found a junonia and was in the paper there a few years ago. Love!
When I can’t be shelling on Sanibel… reading your blogs and cyber shelling on ILoveShelling.com is my happy place!! ⛵️🐚🐬Thank you!! I love my 8/2/16 shellebrity shellfie!!
WANT WANT WANT!!!
Love Sanibel! ❤️🐚🐚🐚

I love your I Love Shelling blog! Thank You for your generous giveaway!
Looking forward to my next Sanibel shelling trip!
I love Sanibel-Would love to win!
Love your blog. We came to Sanibel for the first time this summer because of your blog. My 8yr old was really hoping to meet you when we went to the Lighthouse, but no luck! Maybe next year in 2017 when we come in June!
I always check your site when I’m feeling the need to see some videos or photos of shelling! Love your blog! Gives me a quick Sanibel fix until our next getaway!
Love Sanibel,sea-shells and this site! 50 more days and we will be there!!
It is raining here in Texas……cloudy, overcast, gray, depressing. It would sure cheer me up to win your cool hat and wristband. Do I win the sympathy vote?
Cannot wait to visit Sanibel fir the first time in March!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog. Always puts a smile on my face when I see it pop up in my email.
I appreciate very much your exquisite seashell photographs and the accounts of your activities.
I love shelling. Since I’ve found your site I have learned ALOT. I’ve always wanted to go to Sanibel and ILoveShelling.com has pulled me to come for a visit. Thank you for all your insights.
I just ordered myself a cap (always wanted one), wristband and sticker (already have one on my laptop but will save this one for next laptop)!!
I met you Pam when you were FIRST showing the Shell Love Bug at The Shell Factory! You were just as nice, sweet and personable in person as you appear to be in your blogs. You’re a REAL GENUINE person. We live part time on Pine Island I hope one day I can go on one of your shelling cruises while we’re down there!!
Hope to see you soon
Janice
I hope to win this and be the envy of my shelling “buds”.
Hope to see you next time I’m in Sanibel.

Absolutely love sanibel and captiva, my family comes down every year!! Shelling is definitely our favorite thing to do while we are there! We all love following your blog and page! 💙 🐚
Can’t wait to be shelling soon
I love Sanibel and I love Shelling!! I was so lucky to meet you last January while down there. Hope to see yiu again this January.
Pam – I hope you will be wandering around Sanibel next September…I will be the person with the “I Love Shelling Hat!”…Keep those great shelling blogs coming! Pam C
Hanging on my living room wall is a wreath made entirely of Sanibel shells to always remind me of wonderful winter vacations I have spent there! Love your posts, Pam!
Best source for seashell information for we average folk.
I have learned oddles and oddles of new information
I have a cap and a tee, but this blue cap is soooo cute. I’ve been enjoying ILS since you started. Thank you!!
Is it May yet? I really would love to have this prize!! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Your blog was the first blog I ever subscribed to! I am still thrilled that my son and I got to meet you on Sanibel last December. I’d love to win the drawing, put the bumper sticker on our car, and head back to Sanibel while wearing those turquoise beauties!
Love sanibel. Been going there for 48 years!
My upraised hand is frantically waving and I’m squealing, “Ooooh, Ooooh! Pick me! Pick me!”
Always a better day when shells are involved!
I’ve learned so much from you, both on your website and your shelling trips. Going on a trip as become a “must do” for hubby and me. Your unfailing excitement about shells is wonderful! Thanks for everything.
PS Since you can’t ship single items could you bring them on a shelling trip to sell them?
Hi Dotty, Yes! Every sheller on an iLoveShelling cruise gets a wrist band plus some other fun goodies. I always have my hats in my car to sell them separately (without shipping- woot woot! haha :) ) when I’m on the cruises. Thank you!!
Cannot wait until I can go shelling again!
Hoping to see you again when we go down for Jan/Feb! Enjoyed the shelling cruise to Big Hickory Island a couple of years ago. I will be looking to sign up for another shelling cruise!
Love your blog and other posts. Thanks so much for the giveaway. Heading to Sanibel in January! See you there ;)
iLLoveShelling!!!!!
I appreciate all of the information and pictures that you share! I have learned a lot from your blog! Thanks for all of the time and effort you put into making this a great place to hang out and learn!
My sister and I have been on your blog twice (our picture). Can’t wait to return!
Crossing my shelling fingers!!! :) We loved meeting you earlier this year. Headed back down again in December! Can’t wait! Shell on, girl!
Hi Pam. I Love Sheldon here. Lol. I’ll be back on Sanibel with my best shelling buds in April. Hope to see you at the Lighthouse beach looking for those beautiful wentletraps.
I cant wait until I go to Sanibel
Iloveshelling makes it look so much fun,peaceful, and exciting.
We had such fun meeting you in March and going on a shelltacular sheling trip with you.
I can’t wait to make it back to Sanibel, such a highlight! Emily and I wait anxiously for your next post on shelling and can’t wait to see what you have found!
Doing this and coming to Sanibel Island is #1 on my bucket list. Hopefully next year. Love shells. They are like Diamonds to me. Love your site.
Would love! 25 days until I’m on Captive for two weeks of shelling :)
I would love to win. I dream of Sanibel Island and love you posts
My dream is to live closer to the beach but for now I’m landlocked in Chippewa Lake Ohio. I am, however, able to go to Lake Erie and find tiny shells and sea (lake) glass! Can’t wait for my next chance to go shelling!
Can’t wait to go back to Sanibel and find some more awesome seashells! 🐚🌴🐚
I love reading your posts to get my Sanibel fix. When you go for more than a couple of days without posting something, I get sad.
Always love your posts Pam. Sanibel is a special place for our family!
We are counting down the days until our second Sanibel trip! Love reading your posts.
Life’s too short not to go shelling!! I didn’t realize how beautiful shells really were until my first trip to Sanibel and Captiva… And I grew up on the jersey shore!! I’m addicted!
I love your website. It was great meeting you at The Shell Factory with the Shell Love Bug. Hope to see you on the beach sometime.
Had such a good time shelling on the Cata Costa cruise. My mom, sis, sis in law and I all can’t wait to get back to Sanibel!! Wish I was shelling!!
I can’t get enough of SHELLS !!
Iloveshelling.com is a wonderful site been following since the start!
Just came back from my second trip to Sanibel. It was my dream to visit after following your website for years. My son, who made it possible to visit Sanibel learned to love shelling as much as I do. I treasure my shells and memories and will return!
I love your blog and I especially was thrilled to meet you earlier this year on the shelling cruise. I always thought you were a lovely person but meeting you in person words can’t describe how truely awesome you are. You are STILL my idol and I can’t wait to visit there again next summer to get the opportunity to see you again. I wouldn’t mind rocking some iloveshelling.com gear but if not its ok meeting you and taking a pic with you was enough for me.
Whoop whoop! Pick me!!!
I would love to win a hat, bracelet & sticker! Pam, I’ve been following you for 2 years now. I’ve been blessed to visit Sanibel 4 times in the last 2 years, and I’m headed there again in about 4 weeks…Yippeee! We used to go to CA, but no more. Thank you for introducing me to the wonderful shelling on Sanibel! Keep on shelling and blogging. :)
Would love to win!! I love reading all your posts and seeing all the shells.
I want to be you when I grow up! What could be better than shelling your way around the world and on Sanibel whenever you want to?!?!
Wow,that’s alot of comments!!! I love your videos.
I just ordered a sweatshirt & duffel bag. I love the hat!
Thank you Helen! the sweatshirts are awesome and its getting to be that time of year. woohoo!
Happy Shellection Day! Remember the Declaration of Independence proclaims: that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights-LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF SHELLING. Happy Shelling!
hahaha I second the motion of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of shelling!!! too funny! woohoo! LOL
Absolutely love your site. If I could, I would shell 24/7 but since that isn’t possible, I’ll just keep reading your post and wishing!! Thank you for the opportunity!!!
Me and seashells go together like the sand and waves! Love shelling for shells the world over!
A lifelong sheller and naturalist/artist, I enjoy reading your blog and seeing your beautiful shells and I really appreciate your enthusiasm and joy in promoting our beautiful state and its beach treasures. I often refer new shelling enthusiasts to read your blog and check out your website! I am still hoping to visit Sanibel sometime and go on one of your cruises – happy shelling!!!
Enjoy your blog and am looking forward to joining you on a shelling cruise in a couple of weeks. How lucky that my upcoming visit to Sanibel fits into your cruise schedule. In these hectic times, what can be more relaxing than listening to the surf, experiencing nature’s beauty, and seeking shells !!
I am absolutely thoughtless while shelling on the beautiful Sanibel beaches. Returning in April for two weeks of pure bliss.
I’ll be seeing you in January!!
We love shelling and can’t wait to get back to Sanibel!! Keep shelling!

Sanibel Island has a piece of my heart. It is my special place. I am grateful for each opportunity I have to spend time on the island. I am an avid sheller and a huge fan of your page. I have gotten my two children and my husband to love shelling as well.
We were just in Sanibel back in May..i think this may be our 7th trip now. Love shelling there, and love seeing your FB feed from iloveshelling.com!
From the opposite corner of the nation- I LOVE SANIBEL! Love to see your incredible treasures. :)

I love this blog it keeps me going through the winter. I’m so excited, we are coming down Thanksgiving week! I hope I can meet you!
You’re my shelling hero!
HI Pam , I went to sanibel for the first time a couple weeks ago, OMG I loved it I’ve never seen so many shells, I’d like to take one of you’re boat shelling trips soon. I live in Brandon Florida and have been to many beaches in Florida but so far sanibel is my fave. 😊
I love your posts and am sorry I missed you in October when I was on Sanibel! I especially enjoy your videos in the cold Michigan winters!!
I am planning to be at the Shell Festival in March!!!! You are the best!!!!
Thank you Pam for your love of shells!!! It keeps me dreaming of beautiful Sanibel & Captiva Island and those wonderful sea shells. Maybe some day a shell book from you???
Love love love iloveshelling!!! It’s almost as good as being there….almost!!
Following your blog and Instagram helps fulfill my Sanibel need till we come back! Hoping to be back next summer!!
Hey, Pam, sign me up for the giveaway. Missed seeing you this September. Your cruises have become a Gammon family tradition. Maybe next year.
Sanibel is my happy place and I love shelling too🐚🏖😎
Very cute hat! I love keeping up with your finds…much love as always!
Just two more days and I will be there! I hope to run into you on the beach someday. Thanks for all you do.
I Love Shelling spells out my favorite passtime especially when it means shelling at Sanibel and Captiva. It’s been a whole family thing for many years. We always look forward to beach weeks whenever we caan get away. No better way to spend a day along the shore.
Looking forward to shelling with you on our next visit in March to add to our extensive shell collection 🐚
Counting down the days till my family and I come back down to paradise! However, I am splurging myself by going BY MYSELF no kids just me! I am applying for a shell ambassador positron and would be proud to wear this hat while doing my “duties.”
Love me some “I Love Shelling” blog. Thanks for sharing great info on everything having to do with shells.
You get me through the winter until I can make it down every year! 💚💙
Pam, I’ve followed all of your posts, and have been to Sanibel at least 5 times because of you! Looking forward to the 6th. Love your passion for shelling and the wonderful blog you have! Thank you so much for exposing me to this wonderful world of shelling 🐚
There once was an intrepid sheller
who always said, “Nothing is sweller
than shells within reach
on a beautiful beach,
unless it’s my big handsome feller.”
I LOVE this! hahah so clever!
Hey Pam, it’s Vera from Pine Island. We’ve moved up to The Villages, so don’t get over to Sanibel as often, but my sister and I will head that way next Spring. My daughter is visiting from Vegas and she and I sat down last night and wrote this limerick for you. Glad you enjoyed it!
Still planning on a cruise with you!! 🌊☀️🌴🦀⚓️🐚

My sister and I are looking forward to coming down for the first time next week! It just doesn’t get any better than spending time together AND shelling!🐚
I’ve been to Sanibel once and am looking forward to my next trip!
We’re heading down for our first trip to Sanibel on Thanksgiving. We’ve been studying shelling at the “school of Pam” for weeks.
Thank you Pam, for sharing your passion, knowledge & fun with all of us who
“ILoveShelling”
It’s like a party for my eyes and a “take me away” moment every time I view ILoveShelling! It’s the next best thing to actually doing the Sanibel stoop(:
I’ve loved every trip I was able to take with you and have learned so much.
Looking forward to shelling with you again in January, 2017.
Thank you for all the shelling inspiration you’ve given me. Going to get my Florida shelling fix when we go back to Treasure Island for Thanksgiving week. I hope one day to join you on one of your shellabration cruises!
Cant wait to visit Sanibel Island again, I had such a wonderful time.
I am missing Sanibel–I plan to get down there this winter!!!
Hey Pam! I could save you the shipping costs on the giveaway as will be doing the Sanibel Stoop starting this Saturday! So, what do you say??? I look good in blue:). Lol!
My favorite site….better than coffee!! I look forward to it everyday! I’ve learned so much about shells and shelling. Hope to visit Sanibel soon!!
I’m really missing Sanibel! Knowing how hard the Holidays are going to be this year without my grandma for the first time in my life your posts keep me smiling! Thanks tor all you do!
I can’t wait to come back to Sanibel in February!! My shell collection gets a bit depleted during the year when I share them with my friends and family- it makes ME happy to make THEM happy!! Hopefully we’ll be on one of the cruises with you!!
I loooove Sanibel and Captiva and cant wait to visit again🙂
Hi there neighbor! Although we haven’t met, yet, I’ve followed your blog for years and now that I live on Sanibel I can’t wait to meet you. Thank you for all you do to share the love of shelling with the rest of us.
I’m sitting here on the beach at Blind Pass. Go on your site trying to learn about the better shelling times. (Other than all the time) I noticed your post about posting before the 10th of November. I think that’s today, not sure. (Which is how I like it) 😊 Hope I’m included!
iloveshelling.com lets me feel like I’m shelling!!! :)
It would be great to have these when we arrive on 11/19 for the Thanksgiving week with my family! Can’t wait till we are there in a week or so!
Love the color of the hat. Can wait for our trip in Jan & then one in March. Hope the shells r washing. Love your posts. Thanks from Nebraska. The center of our wonderful (main land) United States.
Count me in! Just got my 15 pounds of Sanibel shells in the mail (collected on our October trip).
Thank you, Pam for keeping us up to date here in Iowa about our beloved Sanibel! It’s so much fun to see what you are finding! My daughter and I try to get there whenever we can =) Take care and keep on shellin!
My family and I are coming to Captiva in March and can’t WAIT! We go every year and your site is our bible as well as our way to get by and virtually shell in between visits. Pam – you ROCK!!!
We just got back from Mexico, and all I could think of while combing the beaches there was how much I missed shelling in Sanibel. Found a few keyhole limpets, but that’s about it. Need my Sanibel fix soon!!!
Hi Pam!
Responding… and dreaming of shells in Sanibel!
Thank you so much for giving us this site.

You’re a gal after my own heart (and I try not to be jealous of you, but it’s hard!!!) When I’m not on my annual trip to Sanibel, I make do with looking for beautiful rocks along the shore of Lake Huron. Not the same as shells, I know…but it makes me happy :)
