treasures

Today Bud returned from his morning surf bearing gifts: two bits of sea glass and monarch wings he spotted on the walk home. I was ecstatic! Sea glass is one of my favorite surprises and I don't seem to spot it very often. And the butterfly wings, well... just tell me who doesn't love those? (I hope she traveled far and wide, gliding along the ocean breeze and feasting on all the sweetest nectars.)

All good things are wild and free.

Butterfly wings! I gasped. What a find.

I bet she had the most marvelous life, full of sweetness, and is ever so happy that her wings have a new home with someone who is full of sweetness herself.

This post and picture has me smiling from ear to ear...it is a wonderful virtual treat...And I agree with Jennifer that the wings could not ahve found a sweeter places to rest...I think these might be a colorful reminder of how you also are taking flight. :) xoxo

PS...I covet Sea Glass..the most wonderful treasures in life are free and often found outside right under our feet.

i am a hoarder of sea glass, started when i found a small treasure box full on the beach in italy and then amassed quite a collection from beaches in ny if you can believe it.
