karma: 1 |  Found cheap seashells and starfish
I don't know if someone else has already posted this or not, but I was looking around for some cheaper shells and found them on orientaltrading.com. It's awesome, considering that I'm buying the majority of my favours from there, so the shipping is very low.
This is the best deal I've seen yet: 500 mini natural sugar starfish for $11.95.

haha, no prob, we were all new and excited once! when you think you're the first person to ever think of something, nope  haha, lots of times its already been discussed! that's what makes the search function so cool, i've gotten lost in it before! so much to read and learn!
i havent ordered from shell horizons, but there are lots of different places other gals have ordered shells, etc. from. maybe they can chime in?

I ordered starfish and sand dollars from Sealife coral and seashells, wholesale seashells online, mother of pearl shells and they just arrived yesterday - they're perfect!! I searched so many websites and even ebay and this was by far the cheapest and best quality I could find.

Keyhole Sanddollar 1 1/2"-2" ($36 for 144) which are so cute i'm going to tie them onto the fans for the ceremony, my OOT bags, and scatter them on the reception tables for decoration. Also I ordered Sugar Starfish 5"-6" ($12 for a pack of 12 - by far the cheapest i've found and they're beautiful!) which i'm using for table decorations and i may order more for the huppa or ceremony chairs. Shipping for everything was about $11.50 but it was packed great and nothing broke.

I need to order starfish but I don't meet the $50 min.
Does anyone know of another site with no min?
