I remember collecting sea-glass as though we could change the world we could take each smooth pale piece & hold it up to the sun add beauty to beauty like makeup on the faces of sunbathers I still have the blue one that you gave me on that Summer our dreams drowned in the Atlantic like the punctured gill of a once mighty fish I’ve abandoned thoughts of changing the world selfish as it sounds I’d rather keep my sea-glass to myself & think of you -shinigami-one 16

My favorite thing about summer is how incredibly delicious the produce is! Going to pick berries and peaches is one of the best ways to spend a warm summer afternoon. And of course...grilling outdoors can’t be beat! 512.789.4479 shopantiquaria.com info@shopantiquaria.com @shopantiquaria antiquariavintage.blogspot.com
