Wombled treasure
I love beachcombing. As you know, I am a "womble" and am forever finding "rubbish" to bring home. My favourite part of the day in St Ives, was when the tide was low and hubby and I could go for a walk to find treasure. Apart from the heart shaped pebbles, everything else that we found was "rubbish - sea glass, pottery, broken bouys etc. All of it was transformed by the sea into treasure. I thought the lovely blue nuggets that Carolyn had made for me when perfectly with the collection. It looks lovely when the candle glows at night.

Oh ! how I would love to be walking on a cornish beach and then stopping for tea and a scone .--cottonreel
What a top idea, and a little something to remind you where your heart is!
That is a brilliant idea! Now I just need a beach.........
A much nicer holiday momento than one of those hideous shell ornaments made to look like disfigured animals!

Oh that looks good enough to drink...in a strange kind of way! I never seem to find any blue or green glass when i'm on the beach maybe i need to go back to St Ives...now that's an idea! x
I wish I could find those "rubbish" (not) bits on our beaches!

What a great 'souvenir'.
My last labrador (Eliza) had Wombling traits. If I walked her after a football match on a Sunday morning, she'd run around and bring me all their disgarded drinks bottles. I was like a litter warden clearing up after folk who couldn't be arsed to chuck their rubbish into the nearest bin.
I might have to steal this great idea of yours.
bit late diane but just wanted to say how fab you looked for your girls night out!
I think that is a great idea - just imagine what a posh homeshop would charge :)
I love to find all the boshed up bits of glass on the beach - you can find some amazing colours.
