It will come as no surprise that I enjoyed a spot of beachcombing on our trip to Cornwall. My DH has several photos of me, head down, studying the beach. It is a wonderful way of whiling away an hour or two trawling the beach in the sunshine with the sounds of seagulls crying, waves breaking and children playing ringing in your ears.
I pick up all sorts of things during my rambles and I don't always know what I will do with them when I get home but they all have potential.
This lovely assortment of shells, pottery shards and beach glass will make a few cuffs, don't you think? I may try coating the glass with something (clear nail varnish maybe?) to restore its shine as it shines beautifully when wet. I don't have a glass tumbler or I would tumble it to polish it up.

lovely collection! It would be good to compare what we find on different coasts!
Beautiful finds Julie
What a collection, i thought i was good at beach combing, but you beat me :-)
You've got a lovely haul there Julie. I can't resist beachcombing either and sometimes have things for a year or two before suddenly finding just the right use for them. I have a lovely big piece of driftwood waiting for the right textile hanging to be hung from it.
love the collection - I really got into seaglass this year when we were in Scotland - haven't done anything with it yet - I just like looking at it with my shells!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love your collection of beach treasures.
Hi Julie, I love your collection of treasure. How I would love to go to Cornwall and meet up with Carolyn too. Your photos are amazing and I love your collages especially the one with the lobster nets, rusty bits and the heart in the sand. Rachel stayed over night so we had a whole day together it was just lovely ~ thankyou for your good wishes, lots of love to you Judy x
Julie I am swooning. This is the best kind of treasure in the WHOLE WORLD. The blue sea glass is more precious than rubies in my opinion. I need a lie down.
I love this!
