Beach Excitements

I went for a long beach walk this afternoon...it's still very cold here and the wind off the lake was bitter, but the sun was shining and calling me. I'm glad I went. I was refreshing and I found lots of treasures. There wasn't another soul on the beach, I walked for an hour and a half and didn't see anyone other than two Canada geese, who looked at me disapprovingly and stalked away into the lake.

I love glass with writing on it. This seems to be a date.

Some pale blue Fire King Delphite glass, some china and a remarkable knobbly bit of orangey-red glass. This is a fragment of some sort of hobnail piece, a vase or toothpick holder, or one of those Fenton glass shoes.

A big piece of blue glass, not very frosty, but it has the letters "ER" on the top edge...my sister's nickname!!

A massive frosty chunk of aqua glass, this would be gorgeous cut to a perfect rectangle and set in silver for a ring or a pendant. Stones with holes. The humble beer-bottle glass. I wish beer came in blue and pink and purple bottles. That would be an improvement in every way.

A perfectly heart shaped stone and a heart shaped 1957 dog tag!!! Love these!

I came home cold and windblown but tickled with my finds.
