LaMotte on Martha Stewart

Martha Stewart wants to talk about sea glass collecting so who does she call up? None other than Richard LaMotte a.k.a. "The Godfather of Sea Glass" and author of "Pure Sea Glass."
I suggest you all gather up as much sea glass you can as collecting it is quickly becoming all the rage.
A guest appearance on Oprah can't be too far away Mr. LaMotte.
;-D
