I took note of your finds. I saw an angel wing yesterday but did not pick it up. I regret it now, lol. But I was hoping your blog to have more info on stones and shells, especially sand dollars. I did find some sea glass though.

I love all of Ashley’s work. It is magnificent. Can’t stop looking at it.
