Super Score!

My craft show at the Legion last week went really well!  The best part is getting to see so many friends from school and town.  One of them told me that he saw a big jar of beach glass for sale, half off, at a shop downtown, if I wanted to check it out.  He told me specifically where in the store it was so after the craft show, I made a beeline over there in the hopes that it was still available.  It was.  And a steal at $12.50!!


I was most excited to see this one red chip down at the bottom of the jar!

Me being...well, me....I had to take everything out and sort by colour to see what we had.  Some amazing pieces!  


Tons of crockery too.  I would love to know who found this and where.

Mostly white.  I can use these for crafts, although some will go into my own collection.

There were also some great shells, rocks and a big sand dollar.

Sweet eh?

  1. Very Sweet indeed! Congrats on your score! - I'll bet whoever collected these would be happy to see it went to the best new owner ever - someone who appreciates it all!

    1. I hope so! Plus I'm more inclined to try beach glass crafts using this stuff so I don't have to dip into my own stash.

  2. Hm, what a great way to make money. Spend your days wandering beaches and then putting the results in a jar like that. I am glad you were so delighted with the find.

    1. Well there would be lots of people who'd buy the jars of glass, that's for sure. I already had a couple friends bristle a little that I got this before they did. Unfortunately. :( The beach glass competition is really fierce here. It wasn't like this 20/30 years ago.
