she doesn't sell her seashells....

...by the seashore.....she gives them away on her blog.  Well, she did a few weeks ago anyway.  And, I was one of the lucky recipients.  Decorator lights and container too.... the perfect size for a curio cabinet. The bears approve.


"Ooooooo ..... lookit "!!















'what is it' ?.....




















"Pretties".......

The way they were all hanging out so close to it I think they thought perhaps it was a campfire or
something.... thanks Linda....we all (the bears and me) love our shells in their mini hurricane lamp.  Well, that's what it reminds me of anyway..

A little bit of Florida now resides with each of us winners ... shells gathered on her favourite beaches.

Maybe we can't all go to the beach ... ...but, the beach can come to us.



















I really like this white one near the top... it looks like fabric or something... not a shell at all... and the curlicue one that looks kind of like the centre of a flower...and the one down below that looks like a delicate snowflake .. and the burgundy stripes in the one above that and... hahahha... I love 'em all don't I? .. thanks again Linda.

the sun is shining....

I'm off to the beach! ....











....look, I have shells...... and, interesting pebbles.... even some stripey ones....
I pick them up if I notice them in my gravel around the yard. See, if you look at them in the camera lens, (in the plant pots).... you might think
they are on a beach somewhere... sort of........ mightn't you?











This pebble was painted by a Vancouver Island artist.... Haida tribal artwork.. I love little hummingbirds....












hey! get out of here...you guys weren't invited !! We're having a beach party here..

..Sea Treasures.....

My mailman was leaving just as I rounded the corner from my speed walking.... he shouted that I had a parcel..... ooooohh !! ..... ....I picked up the pace even if my little legs were already going about as fast a trotting Corgi....

Recognized the address right away..... my long time blog buddy Darly.... whose parcel I have been anticipating for ... well, let's just say I've been on high alert for a while now...hahha... it has become a private joke. Sorry Darly, had to get it in somewhere, didn't I? but, now.... ....












... the highly anticipated surprise .... my little mermaid spied that shell etui right away.











...she was trying to lay claim to it before I even got to look inside.











Then, she managed to open it.... aahhhhhh ..... the colours! and there inside...another tiny mermaid in her beautiful world of aquas and greens...seaweed and shells and pearls... pearls?














Hey! I got a pearl!











there's a real pearl in there!

.... another mermaid... swimming with fish and a friendly octopus....










and...... a beautiful earring set. Sea Glass! Sometimes called Mermaid's Tears ... somebody remembered my fascination with sea treasures.....











I'm a very lucky girl..... thank you so much Darly.... you are a pearl too.....
