When I opened my Secret Santa gift today from Tam, I caught a whiff of warm tropical breezes. Inside was a lovely picture frame with a display of Swift Creek Complicated Stamped Pottery shards with the most amazing impressions! And that wasn't all. A small drawstring bag held a collection of shells and sea glass from Hawaii-- the perfect gift from one beach lover to another.
Mele Kalikimaka to you too, Tam!2 PhotosChild of the tides

Hope the frame was ok Deb , you can put it on the wall or table ... I found that the black made it pop .
I tried , biege , light brown nothing made it stand out .
I thought you would get a kick out of the Puka shells .
put them on a key chain or an earring .
we put them on hoops here hanging on to the 60’s
Glad you liked it !! I was getting worried I sent that puppy off over a week ago .
Aloooohaaaaa

The frame arrived safely but the double sided tape holding them did not. Fear not however, the pottery shards are just fine; just not arranged the way you had them placed. The black background is perfect! I do like the Puka shells and so does my granddaughter! I did the best id I could using a FL shell book. I've attached a photo above.

The tiger is the most common . The one I sent you I have only found 3 . They seem to loose the outer pattern unless you polish them .
We would go diving and fear not the outopus has already

My apologies to Everett for holding off on posting his gift to me.
I have been trying to find out about the ring he sent.
This was the letter that accompanied the gift. Some of the items therein the gift were these.
The 21 club has a very cool history behind it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21_Club The ring that he mentioned is very cool.
I am not so sure about it being a class ring though.
My thoughts are that it is a sweetheart ring (size 5 1/2) given to a loved one from someone in an artillery unit.
Keep in mind that this was found by an old foundation in the back woods of Arkansas I have been trying to identify the maker through several different sources but have not yet been successful.
In this position it looks like a cherub in desperate need of a toilet. And when it is looked at this way I can see a crocked C and a skeletal face. This is the closest that I have come to identifying the maker.
It is close but not exact.
Everett my friend I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity this year.
OH and by the way I did clean them up. Just a bit.Bruce
In life there are losers and finders. Which one are you?
