Well, not entirely true, I found about 4… I was really looking forward to hunting for some amazing shells, but they were almost absent where we were staying. But there was something way better than seashells; amazing multi-coloured pebbles and tiny stones in soft pastel shades. A beach combers’ fantasy come true. I turned into a magpie and couldn’t stop searching and collecting them. There were also quite a few small heart shaped stones. Swoon!
I’m not sure what kind of stones these are. We were staying on Thassos and there are a few huge marble quarries there. You see a lot of trucks driving around with massive man-sized blocks of marble. So maybe the red, white and yellow pebbles are small pieces of marble that have become round by rolling in the sea for ages?
If you have a river or coast nearby where there are such beautiful pebbles & stones, let me know 🙂 It seriously is addictive!
How lucky you are!! 🙂 I love collecting sea shells and sea glass, I have never seen pastel pebbles at the beach. What a great find! Love your heart photo.
Hi Michelle 🙂 Yes normally for me it’s looking for sea glass, drift wood and shells too. This was a wonderful surprise! xx
I love them ! The little heart shaped one is gorgeous ! I don’t blame you for gathering them all up 🙂
I found some more heart shaped stones, but this one was such a sweet pink 🙂 Thanks for looking at my pics ♥
I love those stones.
Me too, thanks for visiting my little blog 🙂
You’ve found some lovely treasures, Helena, those little stones are so pretty !
Love the heart you made !
Have a nice weekend,
Sylvia
Thank you Sylvia ♥
How gorgeous – I never manage to find anything more than driftwood at our beach. I must go to Greece – for the pebbles of course 😉 xx
Driftwood was also on my wish list, I managed to find only one tiny piece; not quite enough for the mobile I head in mind 🙂
Those seashells are magical! Love your photography and soft pastel colors :o)
Thank you so much 🙂 xxx
