I found my very first sand dollar. Well it was a half of a sand dollar but it is the first I ever found.
I was so excited about this.
There were loads of little pieces of beach glass, and many unusual shells.
I love the peaceful sound of shells clinking together as they get washed up on the beach.
I was thinking these will look pretty in my antique Ball Mason jar on my newly re-done, re-purposed Beachy hutch- that used to be a black laminate spacecrafty looking thing! ( which you can read about here)
So for 2 hours I gathered seashells by the seashore!
My son and his girl Erika, even had to pick some up.
The sand dollar is about 2 inches long, the large shell next to it is about a bit more than 4 inches.
and you can see from the plastic bag that I bought I got a lot of pretty purple scallop shells!
Some had perfectly tiny little holes in them just right for a slip of a silver necklace!
Wonderful gifts from the sea.
To adorn ourselves and our houses.
Memories from a fabulous day on the beach, after a storm, on Manasota Key,
when the waves are still raging, and challenging.
Simple Seashells in a jar.

Looks like you had a good day of shelling! They look great in the blue jar along with your milk glass. We don't get a lot of shells here in the panhandle.
ReplyDeleteLove the blue jar with the shells in it. I have the same kind of jar and I use it to display shells too!!
ReplyDeleteHey pretty lady! I wanted to pop in and thank you for leaving your sweet comment on my blog! We have fallen so in love with Sanibel, it's ridiculous! lol! Can hardly wait to return next year. ♥
ReplyDeleteI spent quite some time looking at the photos from your shell-gathering day at the stormy beach and your Key West pics. You are soooo blessed to live so close to such beauty! I could just hear the pounding of those stormy waves. You transported me back to the beach for a while and I just loved it. :) Key West looks like such a fun place to visit! I loved seeing all the white picket fences and gorgeous homes!

Hello....Laurie directed my here to see the shells you collected! We just got back from Sanibel(with Laurie and Rog), and I brought home a trunk-full of shells!!! seriously!!
ReplyDeleteI filled my mason jars with them, and also some clear jars for my little shop.
You are soooo blessed to live where you do!!!
I remember the shells clinking as the waves washed them up on shore...a very soothing sound.
Glad I stopped by.
Toodles.

Laurie and Debbie, 2 wonderful new ladies from bloggyland! Fellow Gulf Coast lovers. I love it when there are so many shells you could take home a bucketful!!
ReplyDeleteI know I am so blessed, to have this vacation home in Florida, I just need to get to it more often, and from there make a visit to Sanibel. I hear they have some of the best shelling in the world. My regular home is in New Jersey but I am close to the beach there too. I have to be near the water, it's in my DNA..So nice to meet you girls!

The apple tv is
ReplyDeletemuch cheaper now, at only $99, a far cry from what it used to sell
for back in 2007 when it was more than $200. The
built-in web browser of Google TV separates it from media
streaming devices like Apple TV. You can edit and set
for conversion here, such as file and title name, bit rate, frame rate, file size, frame resolution,
aspect ratio, volume, and so on.
Now you should know how to buy a digital camera that you can enjoy for years to come.
ReplyDeleteOf course, choosing a camera body doesn't lock you into only using lenses by that manufacturer, as there are several good third-party lens makers producing quality lenses for both Canon and Nikon cameras. The zoom manage is actually a rotary bezel around the shutter button, and it really is a bit jerky, but with 12 actions between minimal and optimum it's able of
relatively precise framing.
