I see jewelry

I love limpet shells but have never collected any quite this large. I feel sure a new necklace will come from this afternoon of beach combing.

I love the subtle colors, textures and shapes of these limpet "hollow beads". 

I collect ideas of jewelry inspiration with a bunch of other creative folks on my Pinterest board "I see jewelry" where we post images of things, nature and objects that make us think of jewelry. You can follow us here if you like. 

And today we're off to Edinburgh for Samuel's long awaited first "real" train ride, museums, cafes and shops. Have a great weekend! See you on Monday with a post about our favorite castle…so far. 

Across the pond - photo diary

Six days into our trip to the UK and we've already done and seen so much. We're taking the day today to have a slow down, write some postcards, (the old fashioned kind) and do some washing here in Berwick-upon-Tweed, the most northerly town in England. 

Our view of Berwick-upon-Tweed, a walled city and the most northerly town in England. 

We love the city early evening when shops are closed and pubs are yet busy.
