@@donnascholz121 G'day Donna 👋🏻🏖️ You are so sweet; I think Jan will hopefully get a smile from your comment. Thank you so much for your kind words, and thank you so much for watching the big unboxing 🥰
How interesting to see all those shells and crab carapace and starfish. Some beauties there for sure. Jan is so kind to send these things and thank you Maddie for sharing them with us. ❤
G'day Alison 👋🏻💖 The starfish and crab carapaces are wild!! I never expected to ever have anything like them in my collection 😲 Aww thank you for your kind words; I am truly blown away by Jan's generosity; I can't believe that I'm allowed to accept it. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
G'day Donna 👋🏻💖 I absolutely don't deserve anything 😅 but my goodness, I am so grateful to Jan for sending this box to me; she is really too generous. Thank you so much for watching the big unboxing today 🥰
Hey Maddie. So glad you enjoyed your beautiful gifts from your shell friend. You deserve such love sent your way for all of the joy you give to your shell peeps. Sending gratitude.
G’day Mary 👋🏻💖 Oh goodness, I’m sure I don’t deserve as much as she’s sent to me 😮 but yes, Jan is too generous with her gifts, and I enjoy them very much. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Good morning Maddie Thank you Jan for sending such beautiful shells, sea urchins, crab shells, and sea stars. Just all of them are so beautiful. Love to see the beautiful shells from wherever they are from. Thank you again for another great unboxing adventure. Have a lovely day Maddie
G'day Toni 👋🏻💖 Jan has really spoiled me too much; I keep wondering if I deserve this, or if its okay to accept so much generosity?? I'm not used to someone spending money on my in acts of kindness like this, seriously, its way too nice of Jan. I'm glad that you enjoyed this unboxing; the variety of shells was simply amazing. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
@SandCoffeeRocks You are such a wonderful person. You do deserve other acts of kindness as you give so much of yourself to us. Thank you very much for just being you. I know you help me so much every adventure. I have slowly been working on something for you. I can not do too much at once. It is just a matter of finding things. Hope you have a wonderful day.
@tonistephic Oh my goodness Toni, don't strain yourself on my account!! I know only a fraction of how much you've been through over the past two years; please take care of yourself right now 🙏🏻
@SandCoffeeRocks I am taking care of myself. That is why I am doing things slowly. I have help, but sometimes he needs a break as well. My husband has to change my bandages on my hip every day. He has to do a lot to help me out. They thought it would be closed up by Christmas, but it does not look that way as of now. So it is going very slow.
Wow! What a beautiful gift! 🎁 🎁🎁 The horseshoe crab is extremely interesting. The whole crab is so ancient looking. Lee and I actually saw a pair mating when we were in Sanibel, Florida. I love starfish ⭐️ but I wish they weren’t so fragile. 😢 Thank you Jan for sharing with Maddie, and thank you Maddie for sharing with us! 🥰🥰🥰
G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 It's an extremely lovely gift from Jan, she was seriously too nice to send this to me?? I've seen pictures of the whole Horseshoe Crab on the internet; absolute wild looking! I don't think I'd want to see them getting their groove on, though! Those starfish are so interesting as well 🤩 though that sugar star will need a delicate touch for sure. As always Pam, thank you so much for watching 🥰 and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
G'day Erin 👋🏻💖 Yes, those starfish in particular surprised me! It's crazy what boarder security seems okay it not okay to pass through 🤔 these starfish must have been dried and preserved very well if no alarms were set off as customs. As always, thank you very much for watching the big episode 🥰
Wow! What a wonderful selection of sea creatures. South Carolina Jan is obviously a great fan and super generous. The orchid murex is exquisite; well, everything was actually exquisite! Thanks for sharing! I finally was able to get my Australian shells cleaned, sorted and put away. I'll try and Messenger you some pictures.
Hehe, g'day Jan from Austria 👋🏻🐚💖 I feel like I need to make the distinction this time 😂 Jan from SC is way too generous; I really felt like I could not accept so much kindness, I still can't believe it. The shells, the carapaces, the sea stars; all amazing. Ohh yes, message me; I want to see the final Australia haul 😲!! Thanks for watching such a big unboxing today 🥰
G’day Francesco 👋🏻🐚 The Orchid Murex is!! Ohhh; I didn’t realise! I’d never seen it before, but I ended up thinking that the helmet shell was the most precious 🤔 I still have so much to learn! Thank you again for watching 🥰
G’day Brenda 👋🏻🐚❤️ It was extremely generous of Jan to send me this box (as well as past boxes) that’s so filled of amazing treasures and pieces of her collection. I feel so undeserving!! Thank you so much for watching and sharing in this experience 🥰
Hi Maddie! So many interesting treasures from this mystery box. My favourite are the horseshoe crab carapace, and the bullmouth helmet. I have different species of helmet shell in my thrift store shells collection and I love its chunkiness and colours.
G'day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏻🌊💖 Oh wow, the Horseshoe Crab is the top of the list, a long with the Bull mouth Helmet 😲 that Horseshoe Crab is really wild...it's crazy how big they are??? And the helmet shell is a beauty 😍 Oh you'll have to tell me which kinds of helmet shells you have from your thrift store collecting...what luck to find them there!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
G'day Natalia 👋🏻🏖️ The Orchid Murexes was a new experience for me, I'd never seen on before! Actually, there was more than one new experience in this box!! Oh my goodness Natalia, that's a dangerous question 😅 my shell cabinet is NOT ready to be reorganized yet ☘️ I haven't not been good with updating it in so long. I need to get my butt in gear to get things taken out, wiped down (it's mostly fine, but a refresh after a year will be a good idea), then rearrange the layout to fit my new collections. I'm absolutely looking at a few days of solid work for it...and I've been procrastinating for months 🥲 send help!!!? Haha. Ahhh, I have two more unboxings to show over the next few months, so maybe after that I will share another cabinet tour 👍🏻 so early next year is when I think I'll release that kind of video 😜 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
High Maddie 👋 😍 Beautiful gift , so happy for you, it's always interesting to have some outsiders beauties like you got 😊 I think the ficus Is Ficus variegatus
G’day Francesco 👋🏻🏖️ I was very spoiled by Jan; I don’t deserve this kind of generosity - I kept wondering if it was really ok for me to have these treasures 😮 Ohhh it looks to be a Ficus varigatus!! Thanks you, thank looks like the perfect match for the shell 🐚 and thanks for watching a big unboxing today 🥰
G'day Brian 👋🏻🏖️ Those sea stars were so unexpected!! I never in my life thought that I'd have a collection of them like this 😲 Jan is too generous to send them to me. Thank you so much for watching the big unboxing 🥰
Wuhuuuuuu Maddie, They are so muchhhh lovely, My favorite todayyyy areee 1. Hawk wing conch 2. Conus betulinus (i have a bunch of them, from the small one to the big one) 3. Graceful fig 4. Giant hairy melongena 5. Orchid murex 6. Bullmouth helmet (I made this list according to the timeline of your video. But,my most fav is the bullmouth helmet) Send warm regard to Jan ❤🎉
G'day Nelly 👋🏻💖 Oh my goodness, so many favourites for the big unboxing 🤩 Hehe, I must agree that that Bullmouth Helmet is probably my tippy top favourite as well 🐚 but whaaaat the Beech Cone gets a mention even though you find so many at the beach??? I wouldn't have expected you to like one that you find all the time 😲 it's really lovely though!! Oh my goodness, one again, I'm absolutely thrilled that you enjoyed the big unboxing; Jan was seriously too generous. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
@@ShellingAdventures the bullmouth has its own charming,the size, the color, the shape, Hehehe,the beech cone is a my 1st big cone I've ever find. It always make me amaze.
wow! This has been so much fun watching you unbox this and listening to your comments. As a kid, I found horseshoe crabs all the time...they really are quite prehistoric. the murex is gorgeous! all the shells seem so glossy...do you know how Jan treats them?
G'day Leslie 👋🏻🏖️💖 Aww thank you! It was an absolute pleasure to unbox this gift from Jan. Oh my goodness, that's crazy; you were spoiled for Horseshoe Crabs! Is it weird that I feel like they should be an Australian animal because of how weird they are??? 😂 Anyway! Oh yes, some of the shells are quite glossy; I believe Jan mentioned using some kind of acrylic spray on the ones from her collection so that they would have the "fresh from the water" look about them 😉 Thanks for watching the big unboxing today 🥰
Just found your channel and I'm obsessed! I'm so curious though, where do you put all your shells haha? Would love to see a video on how you use them as decor, how you store them, etc :) (if you haven't already, of course).
G'day Cwunshine 👋🏻🏖️ Oh my goodness, thank you so much for enjoying the shelling adventures and unboxingings 😲!! I'm thrilled! I do have a shell cabinet display tour from about a year ago: th-cam.com/video/vtTtFGCOGA8/w-d-xo.html I haven't updated it much since then, so it's still current. I do have shells that I need to put inside though 😅 I'm a bit slow at rearranging the cabinet to accommodate them! Maybe next year 😂 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
G'day Julia 👋🏻🐚 They are, right?! Jan is way to kind to send all of these shells to me; they really made this unboxing specials! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Thanks Jan for your generousity and to Maddie for sharing your excitement. Such fun.
