Sea treasures

When I was little, I'd always collect different rocks and shells on the beach. I used some of them for decoration (and I still have them in a big bowl on my window shelf!) and some of the rocks were useful as pencil holders. I don't have those anymore, but a few weeks ago, while at the beach, I found one with holes that are just the right size for pencils!

  4. Luštni fotografiji Tamara! Obožujem te sivo, peščene, bele in nevtralne tone. Če bi bilo po moje bi bila naša dnevna soba opremljena v teh barvah. No, mogoče čez par let, ko bosta fanta že večja.
    Sicer pa se mi zdi, da smo punce res nabiralke, to imamo v krvi. Jaz tudi počnem to, že od nekdaj. V hribih nabiram rožice in zelišča, pa sem in tja kako vejo, na morju pa naplavljen les, kamenčke in školjke. Iz podobnih kot je ta tvoj sem naredila obešanko. tale tvoj je pa res idealen za svinčnik, je pa lahko obenem še obtežilnik :).
