A Piece of Driftwood


I thought I'd show the piece of driftwood that Karen picked up at the beach the other night.  
It is needing a bit of a clean and tidy up. 
It's not a huge but big enough for her to carry home!!!  There was another piece which she really would have liked to bring home but it was about 3 feet long.  I certainly didn't fancy carting that back up the road. So this piece had to do.

It has quite a nice shape - well it will be once all the stray bits have been tidied up!! 

Any ideas on what she can do with it? - she was thinking of making it into a candle holder, but I'm not sure.  I think it would make a nice table decoration - maybe a wee bit big though.




It is so lovely and smooth - the sea definitely did a great job on it.

Yesterday the weather really changed - it is soooo cold and it actually snowed here.
It's amazing how the weather can change so quickly in the space of a couple of days.  
Hopefully it will return to nice warm, sunny weather before to long. 
On Friday I have a long weekend off work for the Easter holidays. I can't wait!!!!

I love the smoothness of the driftwood.
It's turned colder here too and we've had rain, a storm and hail... Easter doesn't sound too sunny either!
Enjoy your time off work! I'm on my Easter break too!

I can't believe you are getting snow & I'm sitting here in a tank top because it's 80 degrees outside. Incredible! Love this driftwood- we have lots of pieces like that around our yard to remind us of home.

Ellie, I found a piece of driftwood years ago, and have some of my orchids mounted on it. Since orchids do not need soil, I just used some floral wire to secure them, and just mist to water them. When they all go into bloom, it is really beautiful.

That is a pretty piece of driftwood. We get those occasionally in our yard after a high tide. I usually just place them in a flowerbed.
Our weather has changed overnight too! In the 80's yesterday, 60's today and WINDY!
Have a good day!
