This video is marvelous ! Your passion for shells is a deeply uplifting experience for the viewer . This teachable and wonderful video should be viewed in schools, both in science and art classes . Loved it, thanks so much ! And yes, if you can part with a few , do list them in your shoppe . They are beautiful and hand curated from American shores . Thanks also for the Coach unboxing and insight into that lovely brand , I think that there is an outlet in my city and if so , off I go . I agree with you , Coach is top of the line in the handbag arena ,and most assuredly lux !!!
Hey Sara, you give me far too much credit. I've been in love with shells for a while now and even have books on the subject. 😅 I don't think that I'm quite knowledgeable enough to speak with authority on the matter, but it's so sweet that you think so. This month's Queen gift just happens to be hand chosen shells that I purchased in Sanibel while on vacation. I'll be shipping them out soon. Yes, as soon as I get some time to shine up the shells, I'll certainly add them to the website. Have a wonderful week!
Hey Penny, I was surprised to see that the Coach Outlet in Aurora, Ohio still had all three colors of the tote available last week. They are sold out on the website.
Thank you for another good video. Glad you had a nice vacation. Thanks for the info on cleaning shells. I have been collecting Coach for over 16 years. For birthday, holiday and our anniversary Hubby would to take me to the outlet in Destin Florida where there is a Coach Outlet when we lived in Alabama- moved out of state in 2016. He is not a shopper but would go into every store with me while wearing his “yes dear” t-shirt also. I am currently in Alabama right now for a couple of months on business so I drove to the outlet store yesterday. I did not see the black Coach tote or the bag cover you purchased there. Saw the taupe bag and wallet and is very nice and well made. I always enjoy their purse charms also.
Your hubby's t-shirt made me giggle. What an incredible shopping shirt! I looked for the tote online and it's sold out, too. I think that I may have just gone to the FL outlet at a good time. They had 2 of each color while I was there. Let me know if you want the phone number to the store. They may be able to ship one to you.
Hi, loving your shells, you are obviously very knowledgable about them. I have a box full myself that I’ve had for years, I’m now inspired to clean them up. BUT, (lab technician here) it’s great/ essential that you are wearing gloves, but please get yourself some safety specs too! Just imagine if you dropped on of those beauties in the acid bath and it splashed up into you eye. Not worth the risk. Also if you are worried that the acid is so dangerous you could dilute it a little, but you must add acid to water, not the other way round. You could make up some of the diluted acid up in another bottle and use it from there. You would also then have a bit more time to judge how long the shell need to be dipped as the acid will be weaker
Thank you for the great tips! I didn't even think about the acid splashing upward while cleaning the shells. I always mix the smallest amount of acid to the water and it still seems to only take a few seconds to clean the shells. One of these days I'll get the mixture right. I would love to see your shells when you get them all shined up! I'd be happy to share my email with you if you happen to take a few photos. ❤
