Sharing A Stinky Story

When I was pulling out boxes to take photos for yesterday's post, I opened this little bowl that had been sitting on the shelf. I knew it had some of Alia's beads in it and I was going to tip them into a ziplock and add them to my bead box. Actually, I did tip them into the ziplock.

And then ...

I smelled it.

What on earth ?

It smells like something rotted ... in the ocean.

Nasty.

I was baffled but only for a moment.

Then I saw it.

A snail.

My Alia loves to collect shells.

I try to make sure they are empty but I guess I missed this one !

Poor little thing died in a bowl of beads ...

Pretty beads, but I'm sure that was little consolation !!



Don't worry, I gave him ... and his pretty, stinky beads a proper burial.



Eww ... looks like I need to give the rubbish bin a bit of a scrub ...

I'm off to do that now !!
