Wow, it's episode 200 already?!! Time really flies when you're collecting seashells at the beach... and cleaning and organizing them! I have been very fortunate to collect, buy, and be gifted these rare, foreign, and amazing shells over the past 18 months. I couldn't have done it without you all. Thank you so much for taking the time to see how I display my shells at home.

A BONUS!! My original shell cabinet video was only shared here on Facebook: [ Ссылка ]

The Brisbane Shell Show (and unboxing it) that I keep referencing: [ Ссылка ]

NOTE: I am behind on messages everywhere right now as I get busy preparing for the busy season. I will get back to you all, and I will also put information here regarding my display equipment/setup if that interests you (in a few days, gosh, I need it)!! Thanks~

Cabinet from IKEA (~2.6 feet wide, by 3.7 feet high, by 1.3 feet deep): [ Ссылка ]

Lighting is COB LED strip lighting with adhesive backing - 5 metre length with 480 LEDs per metre. I got the power plug adapter with it; an added extra. I chose a neutral white colour (4000K). From eBay, it was ~$35AUD. I adhered the lighting strip in a *certain way* around only some of the edges of the inside of the cabinet, and the power cord goes in/out a small hole at the top where the wall mounted screw should go. Message me on Facebook or Instagram if you want more info about how I did this.

Glass jars are from the Kmart stores. Various sizes in various styles. I've linked the mini jars that I like for the Brown-lined Paper Bubles, Hebrew Cones, Olive Shells (lids beneath them), etc: [ Ссылка ]

The very small jars with cork stoppers are from the dollar store (like Dollar Tree, Choice Discount, etc) in packs with various sizes and styles. Also from the dollar store: very shallow glass candle holders - I put my green sea urchins in one on the middle shelf, and a bigger one with various shells on the bottom shelf.

Acrylic riser / platform / jewellery stands are from eBay. Not cheap, I got a set of 10 for about $50AUD. I don't know if the link will work, so you will need to search around for the style, type, and size that you'd might like for your own collections.

The individual shell stands are "acrylic specimen stands". Search for this on eBay
The scallop/bivalve stands are "acrylic stands for trading cards". Search for this on eBay.

Did I miss anything? Please ask me in the comments and I will be happy to advise.

Let me know which ones were your favourites ;D and if you enjoyed this and want to see more shell finding videos, I'd appreciate a like or a comment. I read all of them and try to reply when I can. You have no idea how much of a smile you guys put on my face. Thanks everyone!

G'day everyone! Wow, you're actually reading the description? Um, thank you! You will be rewarded with extra content... my Facebook page (link above) is loaded with out-takes and deleted scenes that don't make it into the YouTube videos. Check out the extra funsies over there if you're desperate for more shelling content ;D
