Description from Kathryn R: Mmmmm...toes in the warm sand, walking in the seafoam and bubbly breaking surf, soaking up the rays of sun peeking through wispy clouds...and spotting treasures from the ocean along the way. I'm loving this winter vayc- "WHAT!! Don't bother me kitty! Your tummy rub can wait. It’s below zero outside and I'm beachcombin' in my mind...(sigh)"

dolllady aka Pam says:Gorgeous pick! I live about 70 miles from the Gulf of Mexico and find shells like the white nassa shells not only at the beach but also in my yard.

Kathryn R says:Thanks, Ladies. Pam, I’m SO jelly – your *back yard*?!

Beady Little Eyes says:Beautiful picks Kathryn and funny description. The Black Gold Amazonite Banner Pendant is wonderful. I always see new things in fresh picks.

Maggies Mom says:Ditto to BLE’s comments. We enjoy beachcombing and live about 15-20 minutes from the beach.

MH says:Gorgeous pick, Kathryn and I love your beachcombing. Too bad we can’t take our demanding cats with us (on leashes.)

Kathryn R says:Thanks! MaggiesMom, you can find a nice seashell for me on your next foray. Do you ever make jewelry from your finds? MH, if I took Mr. Fluffypants along to the beach, he’d wriggle out of his leash and RUN!
(royal pain in the butt!)

dolllady aka Pam says:Congrats on your POD! If I took my Precious on a leash, she would be just like your Mr. Fluffypants.

BevB says:Congrats! If I took my fur babies to the beach, they would run too. They don’t like leashes. Lol

Jogi says:This is a sweet pick! I love the blues and the shells. I also notice things in picks that i haven’t noticed before, you gave me about five of those, today! Congratulations!

EPBCornell says:Congrats on your breezy daydream of a POD! I love beachcombing in the winter, just not quite while it’s 0 degrees or less with the wind chill. But the winter storms churn up lots of nice finds and there are few people out to pick them over. And I can usually let Ace off leash to run to his heart’s content. Ahh, you’ve got me dreaming of the beach. Maybe when it gets just a little warmer…

Melody F says:Congratulations on your POD which is so pretty. I used to live right next to the beach long ago. Boy do I miss that.

Island Deb says:Ohhhhh..Ahhhhhhh What’s not to love? good work!

Kathryn R says:Thanks so much, Everyone! Boots is an indoor Ragdoll kitty and would surely perish if allowed to “runn freeee” on the beach!
This week will be a great one for “imaginary beachcombing” here. All week temps are predicted to be below zero with wind chill in -20s to -30s.
