Sea Glass Obsession

Hey there, so excited to share this post with you

One of my greatest treasures is my Sea Glass Collection

I am Obsessed with it., You know it's one of the things 

I'd probably grab in a fire lol

Most of my collection is from a sweet spot in Maryland

I have a few pieces from here in NC & a few treasures from a yard sale 

Well anyway I decided instead of keeping it all in the jar

I would look into finding a better way to enjoy it

I came across this clear fillable locket and an idea was born

Looks like a retro pocket watch, I picked thru my pieces and pulled out a few favorites and wa-la a cool jewelry piece was born

These make great pieces to hold other stuff too like shark teeth, shells,etc

I am going to be offering a few for sale in shop soon

Yes believe it or not I am a sharing a few pieces

2 of my favorite Sea Glass Reads

Greetings Just a little random post today

Hope everyone is getting ready for a great Memorial Day Weekend

I am looking forward to it, no real plans 

Just excited to spend some time with my Dad as 

he will be coming into town for the weekend.

Hoping to celebrate his past birthday & pre fathers day with him

What have we been up to lately you ask well

We've been spending our time playing outside enjoying the warm temps

playing with neighbors and checking on our tadpoles we transplanted into our ditch from another ditch in the neighborhood

We like to hit up the local farmers market on wednesdays

and visit the library once a week

We have a good little routine going

Look at this Mug Shot

Wanted: Smoothie Stealer lol

He loves a Strawberry Banana Smoothie or any smoothie for that matter

He hears the blender start up and he takes off running for it

jumping up & down till he gets some

Don't leave yours on a table within reaching distance cause it will be gone

How could you ever get mad at this little guy

He may be ornery but he sure is cute

Newbies

These 2 are so unique and are special in their own way

First up is Omar ain't he a cutie

Love the bright colors, they really make it stand out

It's a cute little framed Needlepoint that would be

Spray paint the frame an orange or yellow for an additional pop of color
