I've been walking with another mom from the bus stop for a while now, and we've added in a bit of
Well, as a treat we decided to go beach-combing on our walking day yesterday. 'Mind you, we walk past two beaches on our regular path, but we hopped in the car for an adventure. We visited 3 beaches including one she calls "Secret Beach." Boy was I ever bummed I didn't bring a camera, but I had a blast. She calculated it as 4 hours and 45 minutes of walking. So I earned a nap yesterday. But I also brought home a few surprises.

Anybody know how to get the sea smell off? We've had a lot of storms. Not sure if that's the problem, and as you can see they've been washed. That just isn't enough this time.
That's it for me. Just reminding you to enjoy what you do when you aren't creating.
You had a great haul!!!
ReplyDeleteOooh, Ginger, a lot of these would make nice textures for polymer clay... especially that "not so nice side", it looks all nubby!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular finds Ginger!
ReplyDeleteOMG how awesome, those spiky ones are so cool, they all are so cool. 4 hours and 45 minutes must have been gone in a flash. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteI would like to add sea glass to my Christmas list. :)
ReplyDeleteNice day's work, Ginger.
ReplyDeleteWe've always buried smelly shells in the sand for a week and let insects remove the tiny bits that are the source of the odor. If that doesn't work or it's too inconvenient, you might try burying them in a container of activated charcoal to absorb the odor.
Good luck!
