Free Shells!

Post by C_fiesta » Thu Jun 22, 2017 8:22 pm

I had a $5 reward to spend at my local thrift store. I was happy to find a bag of shells for $2 with three potentially usable shells. Thus begins my Hermit Crab shell collection. Since I had the $5 reward, it was free! I'm so happy about my free shells :)Image

Also, my husband and I had a beach themed wedding almost 2 years ago and ordered tons of shells for the wedding. We donated most of them. BUT I remember that we have three jars of shells left in storage! I just had the best time going through each one! I found 9 additional shells to use! So, I have 12 total now. I am so happy. Yay, more "free" shells! Image

I think you might be right. Since I'm not purchasing these shells, as long as they have the right shape opening and no holes, I might as well put them in the tank. I'll supply more that I'll purchase as well. If there are ones no one likes, I'll take them out. [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]
