I forgot to share at the time but I made my Mum an advent calendar filled with some of my favourite finds... from cowries to sea glass, pottery pieces to coral, painted topshells to even a tooth! My favourite shell was saved for mum to open last- a pelicans foot 🐚 #OuterHebride

Storm Amy has been wild, currently tucked up in my van north of Lochinver, it has been a long 18+ hours of this torrential rain and winds. Happy to be cosy in van 🚐 I had a lovely birthday yesterday with a chilly sea dip, beaches & otter watching before the storm hit. This is my view tonight 😬

An amazing amount of Velella, or 'by the wind sailors' washed up on the west coast beaches today & bigger in size than any other year I remember. But look closer, you will notice a very special shell attached... a violet sea snail 😍 my first one I've ever found #OuterHebrides

Best find of today 🐚 a new type of shell for my collection... a 'Patella pellucida' or as they are known blue-rayed limpets. So excited to have found 3 today! The bright blue fluorescent colour across the length of the shell looks magical ✨️ #OuterHebrides

#StockistStories - Coralbox Gift Shop! @coralboxgiftshop was founded in late 2015 by Eilidh. After moving to the Mainland to study photography, Eilidh missed island life, quieter pace and beautiful beaches. After completing her studies, Eilidh moved back to #Berneray, where Coralbox began.

A lovely afternoon beach walk between the heavy rain showers & high winds but worth it to find a new brick to add to my collection 🧱 Stamped "DARNGAVIL" with a ribbed upper side. Off to research more as these were manufactured either in Airdire or Craigrigg Works, West Lothian 🙂

Eilidh @eilidhcarr.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

A beach find from today 🙂 a marked piece of pottery from what would have been a vintage stoneware flagon. These were filled with anything from beverages to chemicals - usually with the neck of the flagon stamped with the merchant name & address. Off to research my clues 🧐
