The Search for sea glass

While we were in Maine I had a goal to accomplish and that was to find outstanding pieces of sea glass.  As the days went by very little was found and I was anticipating the day we were going to Back Beach.  I've heard great tales of wonderful pieces being found there.  In fact, a few years ago, Dad/Fred/Grampie, went exploring with his sister, Aunt Deb, and he came home with an outstanding piece of rare red sea glass!  She couldn't believe it!   I have it sitting in the china cabinet and I should take a picture to show all of you who haven't already seen it but it's late and it takes me forever to do some of these technical things to get a post published.  Well, the trip to the beach was eventful for a reason other than sea glass searching!  You can read about that under my Friday the 13th post.  Not a lot of glass was found that day.    Now I've written this "fluff" post just to be able to add a new one this week and to say  I did come across an awesome stash of well tumbled and colorful glass!  The only problem was it was in my sister-in-law's kitchen!!  I could only look at it and wish it was in mine.  Aren't they great looking?

That's some pretty awesome seaglass. I'm still a bit jealous of Natalie's find.

I love sea glass. A dear friend brought me a beautiful candle holder made of sea glass from a beach trip. I love it!

I adore sea glass. If it was hard for you to find it's even harder round these parts. :)
