Santa Cruz or Bust!

Well, I'm getting ready to head out to lovely Santa Cruz for their annual Sea Glass & Ocean Art Festival being held this weekend. I'm told the weather will be perfect. I will try to take plenty of pix to post to the Sea Glass Journal.

I will also be heading up north to revisit Glass Beach in Fort Bragg and the whole Mendocino area. I may even take a side trip to wine country. Please see the article on my last trip to Fort Bragg Glass Beach.

I hope to gather plenty of material for some new articles.

Talk soon,

NASGA Sea Glass Festival

The first day of the sea glass festival in Hyannis, MA was a success. I don't have a tally of the gate yet but it sure appeared that a few thousand enthusiasts showed up. It will be very interesting to see what sea glass shards have been entered into the "Shard of the Year" contest.

A few pix of the first day have been posted to the Sea Glass Journal. Click Sea Glass Slide Show to view them.

Happy Hunting!

Sea Glass Chronicles Sequel!

In the first-ever book on the subject, Sea Glass Chronicles: Whispers from the Past, Carole Lambert introduced the reader to the world of sea glass through her personal collection. Now, in her "tell-all" sequel, Sea Glass Hunter's Handbook (Downeast, Nov 2010, $14.95), Lambert reveals the secrets behind finding and identifying the best samples of these unique collectables. From great tips on useful tools and techniques and a glossary of related terms, to a list of some of the best sea glass beaches in the world, this book is an essential part of any collector's or would-be collector's library.
