Birthdays at the beach are the best. for boy2's 5th birthday, we took him to VA beach. not a mecca for shells, mind you, but i did do pretty well. as boy2 played at waters edge, i would spy a small coquina. like the herons on our lake, i would plunge my hand towards the shell in order to pluck it up before a wave crashed down on it and rolled it out of my reach.
it seems like everytime i visit a beach, the beach has something unique and different to offer. this time, the beach was offering baby razor clams. there were many of them and they were just the right size. i also scored a good number of coquina, some in the sought after yellow and white colour. my husband laughed and asked if i was going to try to find enough purple coquinas to finish kayleigh's valentine.
it was relaxing, tho, to casually look for shells and enjoy the rare beach day. when we came back, i started sorting through the rose cups i purchased and i just placed an order with another seashell vendor for the purple and white coquinas. wish me luck! friday i will work on the center rose.
friday.
