Sought and Found | Driftwood

Did you happen to know that collecting driftwood

on many WA state beaches that you might normally frequent

(ie, those that are maintained by Seattle Parks and Rec)

is illegal?

But that collecting driftwood on WA beaches in general

(outside of Seattle and the many other muni codes you may run into)

is okay?

Well, I'm a law abiding gal

Who mostly hangs out in Seattle

So I didn't think I would press my luck.

Although for the longest, I have wanted to come up with something like this

Gorgeous photos of a WA cabin I almost stayed at

Taken by a great blogger that I follow

but, for the life of me, cannot now peg these photos to

I suggest you visit all 20ish of the blogs listed over there ----->

for more eyecandy like this

And if they are your photos

please (let me know)

and thank you

(for adding another obssession to my list of must haves)

So when I was in Goodwill (over by Southcenter)

the other day

I was on their massive wood and wire basket isle

and my eye spotted this

in the hands of a child

Goodwill $10 Challenge, Bag of sticks

What in all hell would a kid want with a bag of sticks?

Thankfully, her mother had no clue either.

She hollared for that child to put down the bag of sticks

And I may have tripped over someone's cart

whilst making a mad dash to grab it up.

I had already determined that I would spend $10 on this bag of sticks

wrongfully convinced that I wouldn't get out of Seattle

long enough to amass my own collection

Might have.

I am pretty certain that I DID gasp out loud when I saw the price

was 2.99.

And I may have said "Thank you Jesus" out loud, at the cash register

when the sister gal in front of me

turned to me and gave me her 50% off coupon

because they were not letting her use it on whatever she was trying to use it on.

1.50 for all of this

I'm feeling all sorts of driftwood art coming on
