Call of the Sea






I fell in love with this glass




when friends took me out for lunch
a few weeks ago




       We walked down past the old mill workings
                        to the craft shop




and there calling out to me from the cabinet.....






was this beautiful dish....





The different colours and bubbles







reminded me of the sea!








I'm joining Sunny Simple Sunday

and Nancy at Sunday Best

  18. Hi Joan,
    That glass is lovely and it really does remind one of the sea. Thank you for your visit. The saucer under the teapot is actually a cake plate and it is Coventry Garden made by Skye McGhie. It's pretty, isn't it? Hope you have a lovely week.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  19. Hello, just found your blog via Lori's. I'm so excited to find you, I am from Milford Haven and both my parents are from Fishguard/Goodwick. I now live in Chamonix, France.
    Where about in Pembrokshire are you? my fathers family were farmers in Manerowen.
    We are coming to Wales in October, I'm so looking forward to it. My kids love Folly Farm and I love visiting a candle workshop, can't remember the name of the place, but it's run by the wife of Brian John. Do you know it? Have you read his Mistress Martha books?
    Have a lovely day in the land of enchantment.
