One of the greatest things about living on the water is collecting sea shells!! I have really enjoyed this hobby.

Each shell is a bit different and therefore unique..... They remind me a bit of snowmen and why I loved to collect them. They seem to each have their own personalities. :)
And of course the chance of finding that rare or special treasure.
Interesting how you find a beautiful shell with maybe a slight crack or not quite perfect shape and people will pass right on by... And maybe with a little cleaning or acrylic glaze they look great. I am thankful that's how our heavenly Father is...
We are all diamond's in the ruff...... Some need a bit more scrubbing than others. :)




The polka dot on the left is a crab shell.....


Large Whelk............( hard to find in one piece)


The long narrow one's are called Minor Jackknife..........
