As we’re exploring new ways to educate, entertain, and engage our membership and the public, the Sanibel Shell Club has started a Pinterest page to share ideas and images with like-minded shell lovers.
Pinterest is considered social media, but it’s more than that. It’s a very fun (and addicting) image sharing site for visual searching and browsing. From Sanibel sea shells to DIY home decor to recipes to how to build a deck, you will find ideas on almost every topic on Pinterest. Read more about Pinterest here.
Click the link above to go to our Shell Club Pinterest page. We have both CREATED Pins and SAVED Pins. If you have a Pinterest account, please click the FOLLOW button and tell your shelling friends about our new page.
CREATED PINS
You’ll see that we have already created many Pins. Some Pins recognize our generous Virtual 2021 Sanibel Shell Show sponsors, advertise our Virtual Shell Show photo contest, Sanibel Stoop, and Your Favorite Shell photo slide shows. (Hurry, deadline is Nov 30 for submissions!)
We created a few Pins to spread the word about beach etiquette or how to join our club, like these:
SAVED PINS and BOARDS
Saved Pins are images that other people have posted that relate to topics we’re interested in. Pins are grouped into Boards which are like folders to keep your Pins organized.
We have Pinterest Boards for Bivalves, Gastropods, Live Mollusks, Historic Florida, Sanibel Art, and many other general topics. Because of Pinterest’s overall audience, it turns out that our two most popular boards are SHELL DISPLAYS like these:
And SHELL CRAFTS DIY, like these:
