When strolling along the fantastic beaches   on the Portugese Atlantic coast, it is for most people like me  (i.e people who are devoting time solely to pleasure and relaxation, rather than to work) just irresistable not to pick pebbles, despite of a back problems and high blood pressure.

When wet, they lie there like beautiful sparkling jewels... just irresistable!

And...    neither can I resist making a bit mosaic with the pebbles on the saloon table in the evenings. A relaxing passtime which goes extremely well with a JD on the rocks.

This summer I also made lots of hippie style armbands incorporating the beach jewels. View the collection and read the story
