I have to admit, I love pebbles too. I have some beautifully marked ones that I picked up on the beach at Budleigh Salterton 10 years ago, and some perfectly round speckled ones picked up in Eastbourne. They are in a glass vase with limpet shells.Grangryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16949099501135314987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304535898968644093.post-63443162647595784752010-02-26T11:40:41.752+00:002010-02-26T11:40:41.752+00:00This is really exciting and wonderful, Carolyn!
