Collected Treasures...

This month, some plastic beach finds, organised by colour which always makes me happy! :)

Hope your having a super weekend! x

Collected Treasures...

Pink plastic beach finds // Not so much treasure, but the first Ink cartridges I've found from the Hewlett Packard cargo spillage // Rainbow of lighters // Plastic greenery // My first Lego Lost at Sea  piece of sea grass // Leaves and a handmade leaf pouch - fabric from here! // Little cloud dishes for little treasures // Linking pop beads from the beach - got to wonder where these all come from! x

Collected Treasures...

It always amazes me just how many fishing beads we pick up at the beach - all different colours and sizes. Well, I say fishing beads, some of the little ones don't actually have holes, so I wonder what they could be. Air gun pellets maybe?

We've discovered a new (to us) beach with lots of sea glass to collect. There was a fair bit of pottery too, something we don't normally find at the beaches near to us. I especially love the blue and white pieces, they remind me of plates my Nan had hanging on her walls.

My friend Karen @thislittlecorner and I have started a new collaboration on Instagram with the hashtag #collectedtreasure. We would love to see your take on collecting treasures, in which ever way and where you choose to photograph them. Karen and I will be sharing some of our favourites at the end of each month. There are some beautiful images there already, it will be hard to choose! x

Collected Treasures...

Hello! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas break. Ours was good, though it's this in between bit I really love. The kids playing with their new toys, pottering about at home, de-cluttering and getting the house back to normal ready for the New Year.

Our collected treasures this month have pretty much consisted of just plastic finds. All collected on our favourite Winter beach, which is so lovely and quiet now compared to the Summer months.

The mixed circle of plastic was picked up over a couple of visits. This is what we come home with, bags of mainly rubbish. Mostly it's the same culprits - cotton bud sticks that have been flushed down the toilet (who new they came in so many colours) bottle top lids, tile spacers and lighters. But amongst it, a few little treasures too. Like some Lego lost at sea, plastic animals, army men or a vintage hair pin (above is all I've collected) - I'd still love to know where those come from!

Wishing you all a very happy New Year. 2016 - It's gonna be a good one! xx

Collected Treasures...

Hello again - two posts in a day! I'm just squeezing in our Collected Treasures for the last month. We've found... feathers, pebbles, poppy seed heads, hydrangea flowers, beach plastic (including another Lego lost at Sea flipper) and pottery pieces from the Isle of Wight. 

Wishing you all a wonderful week. I cant believe it's December tomorrow already - eep! x
