It's been ages since I went beachcombing! Between the holidays and prepping for my craft shows, I didn't get a chance to go to the beach for well over a month. Of course the day I decided to finally go, it started to rain on the way there. But that's OK....that meant I'd probably have the place to myself. So off to Scusset I went.
In time for low tide.
You can't tell, but it was raining fairly hard, and windy, which made walking the beach a rather arduous task.
Still though; found this nice big piece of crockery.
If it hadn't been raining so hard, I would have decorated this more with stones and shells.
It was pretty slim pickins, glass-wise, and the walk to the breakwater was very long in that rain.
Then I found this gorgeous piece partially buried in the sand. It's finds like these that make it all worth it.
By this point I was soaked through my raincoat so I was really humping it to get back to the car. No marathon beachcombing sessions to Sagamore Beach and back!!!
The stones were very unusual this time around too. I would have collected a huge sackful if not for the weather.
About 14 pieces of glass...one shaped like a heart and that one crockery bit.
That triangular one at the top center could be a piece of crockery too, but it's really hard to tell for sure.
Happy New Year JoJo! I love seeing your beach combing finds!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too Amy! Thanks! I'm hoping to beachcomb for a snowy owl next, as you know. Not sure I can get up at sunrise to do it though! My warm bed doesn't want to let me go.
DeleteHi JoJo,
ReplyDeleteI so need a new computer. It took ages to have your blog load up. Your beach exploits certainly reveal some amazing trinkets.
A belated peaceful New Year's wish to you and your loved ones.
Gary :)
Happy new year to you too Gary! I just got a new lappy....as I am sure you saw on FB the other day. It's way faster than the old one but the mouse keeps sticking.
DeleteHi Jojo,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo's and lovely
finds.
Cheers, Anita.
Thank you Anita! Am hoping to hit the beach again on Monday.
DeleteLove the heart glass and crockery - with that partial stamp, have you tried looking it up to see what it is from? Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Maureen! Yes, I did....but the only word being 'trends', I had no luck finding a logo or name of crockery, dishes or anything else. Maybe I'm not using the right word? Perhaps 'crockery' isn't what these pieces are? I don't know what else to call them....they aren't china. Ceramics maybe?
DeleteYou do suffer for your art!
ReplyDeleteIndeed I do.....but the thrill of the hunt and the find makes it all worth it, even if I get drenched in the process.
DeleteAlthough you got drenched looks like it was worth it, fab finds! And the beach did look lovely :) xx
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, despite the rain the beach was very pretty. The beach makes everything better.
DeleteYou found some great pieces..lots of colors!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I did! I went beachcombing yesterday too and got mostly tiny chips but glass is glass! Different beach though.
