I have a cough and a cold at the moment (along with half the population I suspect!), but I thought a bit of fresh air on the beach would do me good......
As always I took along my collecting bag, and this is what I came back with.....
a mixture of shells and pebbles and sea glass, some seaweed attached to a bit of shell, and a tangle of fishing line with interesting tube worm casts.
I found six cowries, which will be ideal for decorating the tops of these tiny old wooden clockmaker's boxes.
Here's what they look like when they're finished:
I've always believed in the power of nature to make you feel better!
Keep cosy; it's gonna be another frosty night x
Some very interesting flotsam and jetsam you found on your walk...

Looks like my kind of beach, you'd have trouble dragging me back off.
ReplyDeleteLove the little boxes, Christine - would be perfect for keeping extra special tiny beach finds in :)
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself - hope you'll feel better soon,..I'm sure the Cornish air is the best medicine.

ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling in tip-top condition soon! xx
NICE post and work!
ReplyDeleteNext time I am home I really must do some beach combing. We live near Lake Michigan and its one of my fav things to do........but we do not have that sort of treasure. I would love to find beach glass its so rare now people use plastic, maybe you still get more on the seashore. Do you ever find the glass fish floats.
