Best Trip Ever to Spectacle Island!

Just wanted to share some happy news with other sea glass lovers because I thought you would enjoy the story. 

I bought tickets weeks ago to take the first ferry of the season over to Spectacle Island. We wanted to see what treasures were left on the beach after the harsh winter. After walking the beach separately for a while (not a marble in sight!) Kevin called me over to show me a huge piece of cobalt he had found....and under the sea glass an engagement ring. ❤ Best surprise ever.....oh, we each found a marble shortly after!

Authentic Sea Glass Meets Apetite

There's no doubt that sea glass on it's own is beautiful (especially the more rare colors!) but I wanted to do something different.  I found these lovely apetite gemstones and combined it with a soft blue piece of California sea glass.  The result is below!  It's a longer length so it has a nice Bohemian feel to it which I love because it can be easily layered with other pieces.

Ohajiki game pieces - now sea glass!

First time I've ever seen this type of sea glass.  Game pieces from the Japanese game Ohajiki that were found on the coast of Japan.  They are so cool.  Nicely textured and pretty colors.  The sea glass pieces are going to make fantastic pendants!

Footprints!

It seemed like winter in New England was going to be an easy one until yesterday when we got a bunch of snow!  We thought this quote was so appropriate. 😊

Sherwood Island, CT

Fall in New England is absolutely beautiful  and we are even lucky enough to still get some warm days.  We visited Sherwood Island in Westport, CT last week to take some photos and enjoy the beach before the harsh winter sneaks up on us.  We had a gorgeous day for taking pictures!
