Although I have never found a message in a bottle,

I have found a couple of lovely bottle treasures while beachcombing!

They are on my sea glass shelf, displayed proudly!

The clear one has smoothed 'broken' edges, perfect for the elusive blues!  

The green one I call Barnicle Billy for obvious reasons.

The glass bottle of sea water is when my Nana Sylvia, from the Midwest,

first saw the Atlantic Ocean circa 1961, just before I was born.

The one on the far left is just a small bottle, one in many of my collection!

Thanks for strolling by!
