The Most Romantic Valentine....



So romantic...a tiny glass flask, washed up on the sand, its edges worn and softened by years in the tumbling surf. A slightly tattered label: "escape", a weathered antique key, a rusty heart...and one perfect beach pebble for its topper.



Pebble is glittery pale granite, not attached, to you may add a message or a photo.




Glass is clear, with weathering on the edges. Authentically found on my beach, cleaned, upcycled. I added the beautiful old weathered key, the rusty heart. The tattered label with its tantalizing message Escape....



The little botle is about the size of the palm of your hand..5 1/2" tall, x 2 3/4" wide. Volume is one quarter pint, 1/2 cup liquid.




Only marking is a small 20 on base, probably a tiny whiskey bottle?




Other seaglass bottles:



This set will be listed Friday....


The bottles are all shades of pale blue and aqua....



This set is "purple-ing" in my window sunshine, already has become a deeper amethyst. Not for sale yet....



A just-for-fun Beach Dreams memory bottle, below. This one is a found and quite weathered seaglass Corona bottle, recycled with labels, tags, and treasures [shells, beads etc] and filled with white sand and beach treasure. These are wonderful for souvenirs of happy summer days, kids heading off to college love them!
