  • This week we again search for something new. We visit a beach that is the only place in Britain you can find certain exotic shells. There are many cowries and exotic shells that have come across from the Caribbean on the gulf stream. Come with us on a search for the rare and unusual in a beautiful place!
    If you would like to watch us use some of the shells in miniature crafting pop over to our new second channel `The Miniature World Of Kit + Caboodlers` -

    Please don’t apologize for mentioning the doll’s house. That is part of who you are and what you love. I wish I could take you to my California beaches for shells and fossils. And Oh! How I would love to come there!!!💝

    The nipple shells are limpets, they would make cute ceiling light or wall decor for the doll house, especially the ones with the holes in the center 😊... the pot of oyster/clam shells are adorable. ❤

    This video has a special place in my heart. My dad was in the US Army during WWII. He was stationed in the Philippines and brought home many shells. As children, we would enjoy looking through them, as a special occasion, to entertain us during snowy winter's days. Thank you for that trip down memory lane!

    Happy belated mums day fluer. From the states . You've raised such a lovely daughter ! My suggestion for the tusk shell ...lol. if you come accrossed any miniature elephant heads glue them on and place them on a wall in the doll house assuming the father of your victorian doll house is a proper hunter . As so many men love to brag on their hunting of Big" game . Big chuckle . Not advocating the hunting of such a beautiful animal.! But Its for make believe people. This is a humble worthy dollhouse!!! Love you all.

    There are always naysayers who can't see the wonder in things the way you do. I feel sorry for them, they've lost the childlike magic.Please don't apologize, everything you do is wonderful,keep your peckers up! P.s earlier this year I almost died of COVID-19,in fact a couple of chaps on the ward with me didn't make it unfortunately. I spent my time watching your chanel and loved it instantly, it helped me considerably,it helped my recovery enormously, so you'll always have a place in the heart of this old git.

I was happy to see Oscar at the end of the video. It is always a treat to see all three of you. I love you videos so much! They are highlights to my days! Thank you!

    I can think of a couple of mudlarking channels where they say crafts over and over and over again. So don't worry about mentioning doll houses. I think it's brilliant that you're using these teeny tiny natural treasures for something that can appeal to so many people. It's just fun to watch you guys find anything on the beach or in a dump.

    That large snail with the zig-zag striping may be a Gaudy Nautica. Also, check to see if the bubble shell glows under a UV light. The tiny tritons and topsnails are beautiful.

    I thought I recognised the beach and then you did the sea view shot at the end and it is indeed where I thought it was. We scattered my mums ashes over the cliff as that is her favourite place and she loved shell hunting with us as kids. I am also going back the first week of June and can't wait to hunt shells there.

    Loved the shells . I collected tiny shells when living in Florida a while back . Once
    found a tiny living Octopus in a tiny shell. What a treat ! Let it go in a tidal pool in its
    shell quite near the tide line so it would not
    get stranded on dry shore .
    The cowrie shells could maybe be used
    as eggs in a wire basket on a table if you
    like . a little wire woven chicken shaped
    egg basket would be lovely and fun to
    make maybe . Thanks for sharing . Anne

    I have been frustrated at not seeing enough seashells on mudlarking channels. OK, today was amazing. I was frustrated again, but this time at not being able to be there with you. I could easily have used a shovel and bucket to do collecting there. I love the tusk shells. Kate, I too have looked high and low for a wentletrap. They are so scarce here on the Washington coast of America. I haven't found one in the many years of searching I have done. I hope you find one there. One of my very favorite shows! Bravo!!

      where on the gulf coast are you? i grew up in houston, galveston. i was last there around 15 years ago, and there were no seashells at all on galveston, in a mile i found a single broken sand dollar. there were always less whole seashells every year since i was a child 50+ years ago, but to find none at all was terrifically sad and unexpected.
      one reason i love these videos; they really know how to practice the art of cherishing, don't they?
      and there's always the cat, Sunny.
