Beach therapy

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

  3. Love the little boxes, Christine - would be perfect for keeping extra special tiny beach finds in :)

    Take care of yourself - hope you'll feel better soon,..I'm sure the Cornish air is the best medicine.

  5. Next 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.
