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` -

We have a patreon page for anyone wishing to support us.
We also have a Ko-fi account, so if you wanted to support us by buying us a metaphorical cup of coffee it would be greatly appreciated xx

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!!!💝

@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers 2 года назад

Thank you :) :)

I've never seen such a small sand dollar. Along the Texas Gulf coast ours are the size of your hand with your fingers stretched out. If you break them open, they have tiny bird shaped bones in them that we called Doves.

@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers 2 года назад

That is such a lovely name! :)

@hpharridan 2 года назад

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.

@trudymcewen9801 Год назад

When I was in Texas I found a sanddollar the size of a 50 cent piece. It was really perfect. I am a collector.

@WaysideArtist 2 года назад

I'm here for the "It's a bead!" and "For the dollhouse!" exclamations. Please don't stop. Oh, those tiny sand dollars! 😍🐚

@bonnerdebbie 2 года назад

I adore micro shelling and you two are great at it. I also love the flat scallop, the limpets and the tiny sand dollars. Thank you!

@emilybowerman3854 2 года назад

Are you at Barricane by chance? The rock formations look familiar but I didn’t hear you mention it in the video. I’ve got to go down there soon as I don’t live too far away. Also beautiful finds ❤️

@louiseguerin7142 2 года назад

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.

@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers 2 года назад

Thank you for the info we will :)

@diane64yorks 2 года назад

Fantastic video, I just love the tiny shells, I have a big cowrie shell it's a brown and white spotty one, and you can mention the dolls house as much as you want, I can't wait to see what you make with the shells 😊

@dorothypapineau8283 2 года назад

I love your hat Fleur! The shells are amazing. I watch a channel SWF southwest Florida shelling. It comes out every Sunday afternoon. She’s very educational. The cowry shell is rare there and much much bigger than the shells you found but, I believe you found a mini Apple Murex . So much fun. See you later!🙋‍♀️

@bennylawrence6221 2 года назад

I watch that one too!

@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers 2 года назад

Thank you I knitted it myself :) We will have to check out that channel :)

@littlemisslove2shop693 2 года назад

Swf is an amazing channel informative and so relaxing. I was recommended your channel as I watch swf, loving the dollhouse lovely to see mother and daughter having a hobby together. Can you advise which beach in the UK this is please as I would love to go, I love shelling, I've just got back from florida where I found some amazing shells.

@ulrikaholmquist140 2 года назад

What a lovely day at the beach and all the lovely tiny shells, a joy to watch! Soo looking forward to the dresser tomorrow 😊

@anneminnick2491 2 года назад

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 .

OMG 😱 that sand dollar so tiny! Our sand dollars on the Texas Gulf are about 1-4 “ big! Don’t forget to make sea shell wind chimes for the doll house! Great video ladies. 🦋

So lovely!! The puffy sand dollars here on the east coast of North Carolina we call those sea biscuits and the flat ones sand dollars.

@romonaelrod7870 2 года назад

I live on the east coast of NC also. I love finding cool shells.

@janahertzberg6485 2 года назад

Love the beautiful trip to the beach! I was going to suggest that you use the tusk shells as legs of a table.

@lynettepacella9880 2 года назад

I was thinking about using them for a chandelier or some kind of a lighting shade?!🤷🏻‍♀️

Fun to see people who get as excited over seashells as I do! 🐚🐚🐚

@cindynicholas1615 2 года назад

You could make a lot of unicorns with those tusk shells! The bigger round shell, is a moon snail shell called a gaudy nautica. I also saw a couple of limpet shells and at least one top snail shell. Great haul!

@robbybobby6483 2 года назад

The shells here on the east coast of the USA kind of get smaller as you go north. Big in Florida, medium sized in the Carolinas and little in New Jersey. I find some amazing little shells. Size is not everything.

@carolekinsey7835 2 года назад

I collected many years ago, almost 3o years ago now, a collection of shells just like the ones you collected here. I've often wondered what the horn ones were called. Thanks for the name. I still have the collection on show in a pretty glass box which lets all the shells to be seen. They still are as pretty as the day i found them. Natural treasures. A lovely days Larking ladies. X

@kerrykuss642 2 года назад

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!!

@noraleestone2859 2 года назад

Hi Kerry. There are RU-vid channels devoted exclusively to shell hunting, such as 'Salty Reflections'. You could probably OD on shells if you watched them all. LOL

@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers 2 года назад

It is difficult here as we don`t have that many interesting shells, that is why it was so amazing to visit this beach. Thank you :) :)

@oceanluvngal 2 года назад

The video was truly an unexpected delight. Who knew those shell finds were possible in the UK?! Not this Canadian. I now have a new obsession with tusk shells.

@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers 2 года назад

Tusk shells are very beautiful :)

@gracehennessey772 2 года назад

Great shells ladies 🐚🐚🐚 I loved the mussels in the pot.💕💕💕🎎🎎🎎

@sticklebacksummer 2 года назад

@carriemalizia6590 2 года назад

The tusk shells make me think of furniture legs , like on coffee tables, ottomans or stools . Loved this video, and don’t apologize for mentioning the dolls house. ❤

@georgiaware3248 2 года назад

@denisemessier2815 2 года назад

Beautiful beach! So many beautiful shells. You had me laughing when you apologized for saying dollhouse too often and maybe should come up with a code word. Lol lol. You can’t say it too often-the dollhouse is fabulous and I love the new channel showing the crafting. Great video ladies!! Thank you!

@kathrynsymonds9455 2 года назад

Really cute shells, love everything, you don't need to apologise for anything xx

@LancashireLarks 2 года назад

Ohhh you need good eyes for this kind of Larking 🔍 😮 Some absolutely beautiful shells you have found. Plenty of craft material on this beach for your bottom draw 🙌

@emmafaulkner8468 2 года назад

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.

@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers 2 года назад

It is very beautiful :)

@littlemisslove2shop693 2 года назад

Hi, what is this beach located in the UK would love to go and visit. Thanks x

@rebeccahatcher-kaiser225 2 года назад

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!

@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers 2 года назад

You are very welcome :)

@sherryrector2275 2 года назад

Enjoyed greatly. I have a large box of shells that are beautiful

My favourite familly. Oscar is getting so big now. Great video.

@carolcourtney1122 2 года назад

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.

@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers 2 года назад

Ahh thank you :)

@sea_my_finds3876 2 года назад

Your sea urchins is a pea urchin found all along the UK south coast! You just need to look closely!

@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers 2 года назад

@viellegamba 2 года назад

I think you should make a shell framed mirror for the dolls house! I agree with everyone else, love hearing about your finds for crafts or the dollhouse. Be who you are, that is why we love you girls!

@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers 2 года назад

It is in Devon too :)

@peggyreid6836 2 года назад

Hello Lovelies, you have found so many beautiful shells for the 'Dolls House'. You two have done a spectacular job on their house. So glad to see Oscar along, he has grown so much since the very first time I saw him larking with you two. That is about the smallest sand dollar I've ever seen. Greetings from North Carolina U.S.A.

@seashoremudlark3916 2 года назад

Luv the shell 🐚 hunt. Your dolls house is amazing and worth talking about. When u do it gets me excited about your future creations. Happy hunting

@sticklebacksummer 2 года назад

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.

@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers 2 года назад

We are so sorry to hear about your experience but very happy you are here to tell the tale and pleased our films helped in a way :) :)

@bobcampbell2486 2 года назад

If you put non yellowing clear nail polish on the shells they will always look wet and even make them stronger to handle again and again. I do this with my small shells and years have gone by and they still look great. Dust a bit after a year and brand new again. lol Susann75

@anngrey3959 2 года назад

I would be in heaven.

@TreasureHuntingNana 2 года назад

I look for shells around 4 times a week.... this was a lovely change but I do love your mudlarking videos the best :)

@helenstine8605 2 года назад

I would have taken some of the flat gray colored stones and used them as part of a fireplace, flagstones for a walkway, chimney, or the outside of the dollhouse. I think that the would have been suitable for that. The cowries are beautiful as are the other shell that were collected!

@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers 2 года назад

It would! We will have to collect some :)

@sueb6831 2 года назад

I live in south africa so for u to go so extreme over shells is so weird. But I love the excitement. Kate u have the best mother in the workd. Luv u gaks❤️🇿🇦

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.

@marykaystreasures 2 года назад

the scenery in the water so beautiful

@deereating9267 2 года назад

Thank you so much for your lovely calming videos! Hunting shells on the beach is one of my favorite things, but since I live in the middle of a continent I have to be satisfied with finding fossil ones most of the time. Watching you find all those beautiful shells is just lovely!

@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers 2 года назад

Thank you for watching :)

@themcgeefamily7514 2 года назад

😍The 'nipple shells' is called Limpet and are one of my favorites to find along the Washington & Oregon coast. This episode was so much fun and very informative. As other people have said, don't apologize for saying something that you love, like doll house, because we love what you love and love watching your adventures. Thank you for taking us along with you. 💚💙

@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers 2 года назад

@sticklebacksummer 2 года назад

@Tyler.i.81 2 года назад

So all these shells are here because of the Atlantic current that's mind blowing that they don't sink. Are most these sea snails from Caribbean water's or from the equator I'm guessing. Quite cool.

@terriworley5267 2 года назад

Such astonishing variety! I would be hours...

@richardserridge2767 2 года назад

How did I not see this video!? Those shells are amazing. I look forward to seeing you make some little lillies. Those little see urchins are sweet! We find big fragile urchin shells washed up near Leasowe on the Wirral, but they are a different shape (could be something else). Don't worry about saying doll's house because it's not like anybody else says it! Loving the videos ladies! *Edit* the casings I found loads of were sea urchins I believe!

@guadalupeknippen528 2 года назад

You can use the shells for tiny ornaments for the Christmas tree for the dollhouse. We call the teeny tiny white ones sea biscuits over here in the states.

Hi there! I live on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. I’ve been enjoying your beach combing treasure hunts! I love doing that here as well. The thin shells you called “jingle” shells I believe…I call them mermaid’s toenails. 😂 You have such wonderful areas to hunt treasures there and I love how you reuse things in your crafts. I do that as well. I make jewelry and little dolls too. Happy hunting!

@MillieOsborne 2 года назад

If you haven’t already (and if you love crafting the way I do) check our K & C’s new channel, “The Miniature World of Kit and Caboodlers”. Sooo charming and a lovely way to spend some “slow” time

@Punkinatrix 2 года назад

The "tusk shells" you found are called dentalium in the States. Pacific Northwest tribes of Native Americans traded them all over the country to other tribes. They were worn as symbols of status and used as a form of currency. It was said that a tusk shell that reached across a man's hand from his thumb to pinky finger was valuable enough to pay off a death debt. (If you were in some part responsible for the death of another) Today we still use them in traditional regalia as well as just for beauty's sake. I'd love to send you some photos of my husband and I in our ceremonial shells. Also, I can play the cowrie shell game (one of them anyway) if you'd like to learn. ❤️

@FLSueL 2 года назад

That was really fun. I like that we get to both see you find the items and then get to see you use them in your crafting. I enjoy both aspects very much. Thank you for taking the effort to film everything so we can enjoy it all with you. :-)

@Tyler.i.81 2 года назад

Amazing and exotic

@laraemitchell9064 2 года назад

I absolutely love beaches and love finding shells over everything else. Next comes agates and then sea glass. The Oregon coast is my happy place and we are limited in the shells we get. But sand dollars are one type we do get. And lots of mussels and clams. The smallest whole ones I have found were slightly smaller than an American dime. I love this video. Thank you 🙏. I never knew these little creatures could drift on the currents this far.

@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers 2 года назад

We love finding shells too :)

@Nicole-coliebrobro 2 года назад

Wow how tiny are some of those shells! The tiny pink scallop, and the cowries are just cute, love the dentalium shells (tusks), very historically and culturally valuable to many Native Americans as well! Have you thought of giving the dolls house a name it could go by?

@r.vancil129 2 года назад

The brown lily shaped shell looks like pottery, and would look good on a wall as a candle sconce or wall pocket for teeny little flowers. I love your dollhouse, mention it as much as you want!

@jenniferharvey5340 2 года назад

It would be neat to make a little stuffed walrus and use the shells for tusks. Or maybe a unicorn? I used to go shelling when I lived in FL and found the biggest ones after storms.
