A luscious meal of tasty morsels.
Their alabaster homes for a time.
Our collection of gnarled and twisty driftwood.
Eager hands and winding, winding, winding.
Long pieces of jute twine and ever so careful looping and knot tying.
A few broken souls bound for the sandpit.
Listening for the sea.
Letting the gentle breeze run through making them all a clatter.
Slow and simple days.

Joining in with these lovelies.
Gosh you really do post some gems. My eldest would love this. He plays with his baskets of shells almost all day - and ever since I got him a book from the library on shells, he now knows their names and likes to sort them accordingly. Beautiful Steph. x
ReplyDeleteSteph you are one clever lady this is just beautiful. I love the rustic look of it and it looks like Bijou enjoyed making it with you with her sweet smile. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea Steph! I love natural things. I think it teaches us and our little ones to learn to appreciate what nature has to offer us. I'm trying to teach Sunny how to make more rather than indulging in store bought.

ReplyDeleteI need to get my hands on some of this twine. I can not for the life of me find it here in the bush:) This looks like a fun activity. Hope that you are staying cool. Has the rains started there yet???
ReplyDeletejute twine does it for me every time. i can just imagine their sound with the wind or kids hands running through them. lovely, lovely x
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of my childhood for some reason...maybe we had something similar once? Anyway, it gives me a lovely feeling looking a these pictures x
