Sea Glass ~Beach Glass


Be sure to visit Rhoda's Party for all kinds of Thrifty Treasures!




I have never met a piece of sea glass that I don't like. Such beautiful transparent bits that originally started out as trash. Years, even centuries ago, some sort of glass bottle or vessel was thrown into the sea. Sand, rocks and pounding tides thrash the glass shards into smooth jewels. How lucky is the finder of these gems that finally wash ashore.
I found a large glass container at Goodwill for $3. Solid and heavy, it won't break easily. I shopped my house and came up with my sea glass collection and an overly loved candle, that will do for now, until I find a nice sea blue one. Now I need a couple of sun bleached starfish to fill the rest of the space.

I've always wanted to find some beach glass, but I haven't been near an ocean in 20 years! Love what you did with yours!

I love sea glass too but haven't found any since I started actually looking for it. Looks very nice in the vase with your candle.

Enjoyed your bit on homeschooling. I also homeschool 4 children and it can be especially challenging moving a lot in the Army and trying to find a support group of other homeschoolers. Cute blog too.
