Scottish Mudlarking Advent Calendar
Throughout the year, Nicole and Craig Lind have been collecting treasures to fill the 2023 limited-edition Scottish Mudlarking Advent Calendar. Each day reveals a special find from a beach or bottle dump, including marbles, clay pipe bowls, mourning buttons, or beads. Nicole and Craig also include some sterling silver sea glass and sea pottery jewelry tucked away behind the little doors of the calendar.
There are multiple designs to choose from, each filled with Scottish beach treasures. The 2023 calendar is a limited edition of 30, but Scottish Mudlarking has offered to hold five in reserve for Beachcombing readers who purchase calendars in early October. Get a sneak peek inside on the Scottish Mudlarking Ko-fi page and on instagram @scottish_mudlarking.
