Christmas and Sea Glass

CHRISTMAS

AND

SEA GLASS

THROUGH OUT THE YEAR

This month is dedicated to the things and people that make my life special at Christmas and all through the year. Besides the obvious like family and friends I am surrounded by unique, simple and wondrous things that make my life blessed.

My Favorite Baristas

Before heading out to do Sea Glass Hunting my 1st stop is Starbucks

to get a Mocha…not just a mocha…but a complicated delicious mocha.

These 3 cheerful baristas: Robert, Ricardo and Willa make my life special.

I know about them and they know about me, genuine caring and glad to see me.

They make life simple for anyone who picks up a mocha for me…you just need to ask for Deborah’s mocha…they know how it goes.

Thank You!!!!

Robert, Ricardo and Willa

Merry Christmas and God Bless You

Here it goes……

5 pump Mocha

Christmas Sea Glass Project

SEA GLASS

CHRISTMAS TREE

Ever wonder what to do with those pieces of Sea Glass that aren’t jewelry grade?

Found this great Christmas Tree surfing the web.

Such a fantastic idea, can’t wait to get started on my own

Sea Glass Christmas Tree.

The form is Styrofoam and industrial glue was used to piece on the Sea Glass, pearls and Star Fish…..Imagine how this would look in white Sea Glass.

Thanks to beachgrasscottage for the idea.

The Star isn't Always Sea Glass

Occasionally

Sea Glass

is Trumped

BEAUTIFUL!!!

Bottom side of Sea Star

Top Side of Sea Star

In the pursuit of Sea Glass I oft come across other treasures that causes my focus on Sea Glass to fade to the background….This is one of them.

Feeling like a little girl seeing a Sea Star ( I still like Star Fish) for the 1st time. Just gotta touch and admire til I’m satisfied.

Happy Hunting to my Beach Combing Friends.

Sea Glass - Ruby Red

Sea Glass Hunting

A New High

Ruby Red

Makes my Day

Ruby Red Sea Glass - 1" x 1"

I think I’ve found favor with the Sea Glass God. Traversing over stones and rocks can be a challenge with a blown out ACL but I do it hoping to find that PRIZE.

For us hounds that do everything but sniff out Sea Glass, the Ruby Red Sea Glass is one of the ultimate finds. Up to this point I’ve found Red Sea Glass in pebble size so you can imagine my unbelief and amazement when I found a 1″ x 1″ piece.

This beauty was tucked in between rocks and was black in appearance…it took 3 looks at it squating lower each time til finally deciding to pick it up to take a look.

I actually thought it was Black Glass: holding it to the sun fully expecting to see an amber or olive colour…the gasp said it all. I Scored

This season is starting out with great potential. To all my Sea Glass friends, good luck and may the Sea Glass God smile on you too.

Mermaid's Purse - Traveling Sea Glass

Talk about traveling SEA GLASS !!

I would love to have seen these bottles after traveling over distance and time.

Enjoy the Story

Last year, a high school student named Corey Swearingen put a letter in a bottle, sealed it up, and dropped it in the Atlantic Ocean, off the Florida coast. It was kind of an experiment for school. In the letter, he appealed to whomever came across the bottle to contact him and let him know where in the world it showed up. Amazingly, someone did.
