We brought home a few souvenirs from our recent holiday on Arran...
Pretty sea glass. The three of us spent a whole morning on Corrie beach collecting this. Miss M absolutely loved it and was constantly shouting "Mummy/Daddy look at this piece! It's a beauty!" So sweet. I am now on the look out for a pretty bowl to display our lovely sea glass in...
We went to a little craft market where I bought this gorgeous handmade soap. It smells beautiful and I love the little vintage saucer which came with it too...
Miss M used some of her holiday pennies to buy this cute doggie brooch...
G treated me to this gorgeous candle from here...
Mr Seagull was bought to hang in the kitchen...
Lastly lots of pretty shells. We spent an enjoyable afternoon on Whiting Bay beach collecting these. Miss M has washed them all and they are now drying out on the garden table. I have a little craft project planned for them...
So, a few inexpensive but meaningful souvenirs. When we go away I always like to bring back one or two little things to remind us of our holiday and of good family times.
Happy Monday everyone!

What lovely reminders. The seagull is so cute.
ReplyDeleteI always love collecting things from the beach whether its shells or just a noticeable stone. I find them more special than the souvenirs that we buy. Wonderful reminders xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sea glass ... I love the stuff, but I never seem to find any.
ReplyDeleteLovely souvenirs - I'd be happy for any of those to come home with me though I do love the sea glass and Miss M's doggie brooch. x
ReplyDeletebeautiful sea glass
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a beach that had sea glass on it, we were just at the coast in Texas and I was lucky to find a broken sand dollar!! I'd love to have sea glass like that, I'll have to visit this beach with my children and collect up our own, that would be gorgeous displayed...
ReplyDeleteHave a great rest of your week,
Tammy

Beautiful sea glass and I love the soap on a saucer ... so pretty ... Bee xx
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful sea glass and what lovely memories that go with it. That seagul is just great and I'm sure he looks great hung up. I think the best way to display soap is in a pretty saucer. Happy week to you Marianne xoxo

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post full of sweet memories and treasures! Cx
ReplyDeleteLadybird, I absolutely LOVE your Beach Treasures... LOVE them all.. I especially LOVE the Sea Glass. I am also a collector too. I like your seaglass more because it is more frosty from being in the sea than being in fresh waster. I look forward to seeing what you do with your Sea Shells. Hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteAw really love your souvenirs. The sand blasted sea glass is lovely always fascinates me, the feel of it is lovely. The little brooch is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the handmade soap in the vintage saucer two presents in one! x

ReplyDeleteOh it looks like you had an amazing time!! I used to live near Ardrossan and I have never been to Arran, I really need to change that :)
