a gift from the sea. . .

She sells seashells on the seashore;
The shells that she sells are seashells I'm sure.
So if she sells seashells on the seashore,
I'm sure that the shells are seashore shells.



well, I am not actually selling them. these are some shells that I found. I love these! they are not fancy smancy shells, just little worn and weathered shells. they look like little coins, sea money, used by mermaids, I am sure! last time that I went to the beach I gathered a lot of these and they now sit in a little dish on my altar. So, I gathered more of these this time - to share, not to sell. I thought, that if each of us had a shell from the same beach, it would connect each of us. what do you think? if you would like one, please email me. I will send you one with pleasure - my gift from the sea, to you.

I wondered where I lost my purse!!

Oh, Im soooooooooo glad you can see the wonderfullness of nature's bounty and see how special every little thing can be if you look at it with loving eyes..

I would love a Robyn shell (trade you one from England when im there in a few weeks?)
They are smanchy fancy ones, because in your eyes, they really are TREASUREs.
I adore white shells, innocent and pure.

Peace, Kai.

Oh! How lovely! I love sea shells. And I bet you right, it's sea money! I love it!

aren't they beautiful and pure - at the seaside closest to us you just don't find these types. I believe the Mermaids use a different sea-currency in the US. I would love a shell and likewise will look for a US sea treasure to exchange. How I adore ocean jewels...as theat is what they are to me.
XOXO

I would love to hold a precious mermaid coin in my hand. I am going to have to think really hard what I can send you from Missouri that would have some equal value. Now I have a quest!

Hugs,
Connie

These are beautiful Robyn! Much more interesting than the clam shell shards around here that are pretty unusuable and not super fascinating. I love the idea of you sharing your part of the world with us! Such a giving soul you are.

Oh I would love a seashell, Robyn, because they are mermaid coins and the next time I am in Cornwall I will be able to buy something from the mermaid midnight full moon market. Everyone that gets a coin will be connected to each other. Lovely. Also next time I am in cornwall will look for a Cornish shell to remind you of your ancestors. Pretty please topped with glitter!

Annie Jeffries said...

Yes, I would love one AND I can send a shell to YOU from my collection. Hugs, Annie

I would love to have a treasure from you to add to my special friendship box. And.......then I get to find a special treasure to share with YOU!
So glad you had a good time....the sea, the water is such a cleansing force.

What beautiful mermaid coins and such a generous offer you have made Robyn. If there are any left, yes I would love one, thank you.

The ocean is such a reflective place, a nuturing solitude environment. I went there a few days ago (no shells though) and felt so relaxed.
