Terry Sullivan's 1908 tongue twister, "She sells seashells," according to P. J. McCartney in Henry de la Beche (1978), is based on Mary Anning's life as a English fossil collector, dealer, and palaeontologist
She sells seashells on the seashoreThe shells she sells are seashells, I'm sureSo if she sells seashells on the seashoreThen I'm sure she sells seashore shells.
There is no mention of how many shells "she" sells. If we wanted, we could make up a suitable line, such as:She sells seventy shells to see at the seashore;She sells her seventy seashore shells from the sea.

Why was Sally selling seashells by the seashore when you can just pick them up anyway?
Sally was selling seashells by the seashore when you can just pick them up, because she would have a monopoly of all the seashells if she collected all the seashells on that particular seashore, and therefore could sell sea shells by the sea shore. The answer above is a good one, but I have always wondered why she wouldn't take the shells farther inland, so people wouldn't ask the question you asked. Because she sucks at business.
