Oh it is lovely, pastel and soft after its rough and tumble life at sea. A broken bottle that never made it with its note across the ocean. A ship wreck or simply garbage tossed about, will come back after a storm or the right tidal action. According to Wikipedia Sea glass can be found all over the world, but the beaches of the northeast United States, California, northwest England, Mexico, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Nova Scotia, Australia, Italy and southern Spain are known for their bounty. Niece Lindsay can find sea glass in the northwest United States all around the shores of Washington. It began as a bit of a hobby when she moved to Sequim WA. Lindsay and her partner Mary Beth started West Coast Sea Glass and it is now a business that allows Lindsay be a stay at home mom. http://www.westcoastseaglass.com/index.html
Lindsay has a real knack for finding the hidden gems. We sat on the beach near their home Tacoma and she found several glass shards as we chatted about her next show at the lavender festival in Sequim coming up next week. If you are in Washington you should go!
If you click the link you will see their jewelry and can even buy the sea glass for your own use, There is also lots of history and you can learn why red sea glass is rare.

Ahh ....no more drift wood collecting for me. I will see if I can find sea glass. It will be tough in Cheyenne WY but another trip awaits and it will have a shore.
Oh, The show at the YMCA is up and the reception is on July 15 from 5 to 6 PM. Hope to see you there.
